Worth upgrading Cruise to Diamond2? - General Topics

Hi all
I have option to buy the Diamond2 in UK in two weeks as it comes out, its very tempting but I'm not sure cause the Diamond2 is not so much better than my Cruise as I understood. (I don't want devices like Omnia HD or Toshiba G01 cause they are very big & don't wanna leave this forum)

Diamond2 pro's over the Cruise:
-looks much better + steel
-lightness, weight & size
-little bit faster CPU (I donno about the video & graphics drivers)
-screen size & resolution
-more ram & rom
-5mp camera
-TF3D 2
-accelerometer
obvious its better device but the differences are minor and the most annoying thing is that devices like the old Omnia much faster...
but no device worth buying without the support like this forum so don't know if its worth buying or keep waiting for HTC make something really good...
Please help me decide any thoughts & advices are welcomed!

Well...
It will depend if you are in urgent to buy another device, then go for Diamond 2 or TP2, but if you are not in a rush I´ll recommend you to wait one more year.
I´m in the same questioning as I have not upgrade my beloved Universal buyed in 2005!, and I think I´ll wait to get something better
Just my opinion
Good luck,

I'm in the same dillema, but I have time till October, when my current contract expires.
I will make change, if for nothing else then for greater resolution.
I still can't decide between Touch HD and Diamond2, and I have no opportunity to test both device and then decide.
However, I like my phones unlocked, meaning bought at vendor, not at provider. This might make me wait till next summer.
Anyway, I'll stay WinMo, I guess.

I think the difference between HD & D2 is only size & 3.5mm other differences are software related so it will be ported from D2 to HD
I think if youre ok with HD size you might consider devices like Toshiba G01, Omnia HD or HTC with the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

High End PPC Phone.... jaw dropping!

I came across this looking for a replacement for my MDA, want a better one. Look at this one on http://www.jarengoh.com/
Its a XScale 400MHz and 4MP camera, and WM5..... Coming out soon. What do you think?
tried PIE and wm5 opera I think you might have a dead link
matrix849:
Try desktop browser. The whole page is one big flash so I doubt anything on the PPC will show it properly.
weezy:
It looks great, but they don't say what it has (hardware wise) besides the camera and WiFi.
Is there BT? How much memory? Screen resolution? Is it a Smartphone or Pocket PC based? (touch screen?)
It's not on the products page of the company they gave the link to, so I don't see anything to be excited about yet.
From memory, I believe this is supposed to cost around $300,000, with the White Diamond consumer end model around $4000.

Yep, bang on it's on the website at $300,000 available 2007
I think I'll buy two
Buying that phone you would think does it come with 8 rooms and a five car garage. Still good phone to look at :lol:
Addition to the design phones
Hi people,
Here are two additions to the design phones. Both are concept though.
But still are really wicked.
So have a look and let's hope the companies do build such smartphones.

I don't know the rules about forum swearnig but "F**k me!" that's a breath taking phone...even more breath taking than the V3 RAZR and on the same level of breath taking as the Vertu range, which cost around £3,000.
Oh my gosh I've just discovered that Vertu is owned by Nokia Corporation ... so they're just high-end flashy Nokia mobiles?
Uh, what a disgrace!
Nice find
Vertu are hardly high end, feature wise, but they're blingin.
A guy at work here has the Bang & Olufsen Serene, which is also expensive, and damn user unfriendly. But at least it has a motorized self open/close mechanism

Take a look at this too http://keesoo.multics.org/articles/jan2005/se/se_design.htm
This is strange looks like Wizard (designer is so impressed I think)
All of these jaw-dropping / mouth-watering / breath-taking phones are just pure luxury...I think I'm just going to have a heart-attack and collapse ontop of the Pool table.

Acer neoTouch in hand

Acer's first device out of the gate is the Snapdragon-packing F1 (S200), and it is being shown on eBay now with a price of $600. The F1, which is running Windows Mobile 6.5, has a large 3.8" WVGA display (that's the same size and resolution as the Touch HD), with 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM, WiFi, and that delicious 1GHz CPU.

So what do you think about it? I'm debating on getting one. I like watching movies on my phone and it seems lie it would be good at it.
I need a Phone

better to wait for HD2
But waiting is the difficult part
so for now will get the Touch Pro2 from ATT
& sell in a month when HD 2 is out
wont loose money cos only paying $300
& sell for more

Are you going to copy and paste the same thing in every thread you post?
Looks like the whole new range of Acer devices has been officially launched. We have prices for the Acer neoTouch on our site now and will be adding the beTouch range shortly.
There is also an Acer F1 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566351
Having it about a week I can say it's a perfect value for money WinMo device.

Upgrade Recommendations?

Been a long time HTC user, my first was a Prophet (Orange M600) and loved it before moving up to a Kaiser (O2 XDA Stellar) before getting a Rhodium (Direct HTC Touch Pro2, no airtime mess) and they've all been brilliant.
Now I'm out of contract and not liking the looks of WinMo at the moment, I was perfectly happy with 6.5 but seems like MS have other ideas, so I'm quite tempted to go 'droid and the Desire being the pick of the crop so it seems.
Thing is it's been out a little while and maybe a replacement is due soon? Plus I've kind of got used to the hardware keyboards and going back to onscreen on my Prophet is not fun (or even using the Rhodiums when in it's overboard waterproof pouch when I'm out cycling - in case of rain) so that kind of puts me off.
I've seen some rumours for a HTC Vision but to be honest the design doesn't fill me when awe and the keyboard looks like a step back to the Kaiser days.
So what can people recommend? Will I get over my hardware keyboard addiction with a Desire, will I be best waiting a month or two (pretty hedonistic so probably won't wait more than that) or is there a handset out there that I've overlooked that would be ideal for me?
P.S. - no iPhones, tried a 3G and had a look at a four a guy at work had and simply loathe the things.
IMO Currently I wish I had an Android phone of my own. Right now I have TP2 with WinMo 6.5, its decent and ok for now, but Android seems much more appealing to me.

Just some phones you could look at.
Thanks for the recommendations - based in the UK so the Evo is out I'm afraid. GalaxyS doesn't look half bad so might have a read up on it.
Being an IT Engineer I've slated Dell for years so wouldn't be able to show my face holding one of those (though the size on it you probably wouldn't be able to see my face holding one ).

XOOM vs other tablets in the market

hi guyz ,
since honeycombe announced and i am saving money to buy honeycombe tablet but i need help!!
seems like the most known tablets are so expensive and even made me more reluctant to buy them (i didnt like LG) so i have to options the XOOM and the galaxy tab 10.1v,i cant wait for the new GTab coz i hv no one can bring it with him and 28th of this month is my dead line....
so i need your help do you recommend the XOOM to me? is there any bugs/problems with it ( i'll buy the wifi version only)? is it weight a huge problem as media have said? what about the screen is it bad that much?
the Gtb 10.1v is more expensive the XOOM but also with 3G, lighter weight and better screen (as others said,i dont know), but taking in mind in SA it $900 (while the XOOM $600 32GB) it doesn't have an HDMI port and for 16GB
i am stuck in here so i need your help please...
P.S i really care about the updates/support and the performance
Weight is no problem for me. Even when reading comics for a long ass time, I would just switch hands.

HTC One Mini for AT&T caught on camera

Although there hasn't been any official announcement of the HTC One Mini, we all know that it is coming, and we know a fair bit about the device. Although, there really isn't a whole lot to know. The device is going to be an HTC One... mini. Still, we've got some leaked pics of the AT&T version of the device, and surprise surprise, it looks like a smaller HTC One.
Luckily, whoever has their hands on the device knew enough to take pics of info screens, so we know that the device has a dual-core QualcommCPU with an Adreno 305 GPU (aka a Snapdragon 400), 1GB of RAM (although previous pics have said 2GB), 16GB of internal storage (with about 11GB free), Android 4.2 with Sense 5, and LTE. We've learned before that the HTC One Mini will have a 4.3" 720p display, although that's not listed in the images here.
We already knew that the HTC One Mini is coming to AT&T, and that's the branding on these pics.

It looks like a knock-off One
Storage size is really pushing it. But that is a fun looking mid-ranger. Give it a solid kernel with s2w and l2m, I wouldn't mind it as a backup phone.

Kind of like the BMW 1-series looks like a smaller 5-series. The One's a beautifully crafted phone made with high-end materials. The Mini's a "phone." I can see the design of the One swaying people toward HTC, not so much with the Mini. Its design isn't special but it’s unique because of the dual frontal speakers and UltraPixels. We'll see how it does. The SGS3 Mini has been out for eight months and you hardly ever hear it mentioned anywhere. Its general forum has 143 threads; this one after just four months has 1,091. At least on XDA, mini phones with mini specs don't create a lot of buzz.
233 MB available ram??? WTF, is this really true for every one mini?
I don't biting!!! Waiting info related to the ram, thanks!
