Any body have experience with the Xperia and looking at the Diamond Touch 2? Am trying to decide between the two. Xperia seems to me best slider and Diamond Touch 2 a good screen-only device....

skagen,
I'd strongly recommend you just go for the TD2 instead. It's cheaper and the chance of it crapping out (cracking) on you is much slimmer. And just so you know, the screen on the X1 is MUCH smaller than the pictures make it out to be.
Cheers.
Agree...go with the TD2. It's already getting rave reviews for speed and XDA would be here to support it!
Diamond2 Most Def
Yeah, TD2 for shizzle. In the image below, you can clearly see that the Diamond2 is significantly faster than the Xperia in a test done by pocketnow.com involving coreplayer. The full article is here in case you're interested. And to make things more impressive, I don't believe they used hardware rendering, so the processers were doing all the heavy lifting. Pretty impressive, especially compared to my old Kaiser. I seriously cannot wait until the Pro2 and Diamond2 swim across the Atlantic to the US.

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08/14/htc_artemis_details/ ... Not seen any details of this phone on the forums here yet; anybody got any more info, besides the short list of technical specs given on the Reg article? Anybody know when this thing is actually coming to market, or how it'll compare to the other HTC smartphones in terms of the actual user experience? This looks like a VERY tasty little phone, but I wish I knew more about it
That said, I do see in the wiki's 'unofficial' section the 'ARTEMIS', but the Register article spells it Artemis (which is how I'd expect it), linking to a Navigadget article which also spells it Artemis (as opposed to Engadget's 'artimes' spelling)... Which one is correct?
No pretty much what you read in the artcile and the wiki is the extent of the knowledge on this device so far. Its to be released in Q4 2006 so possibly late october.

Sweet looks, but no UMTS and a rather slow processor. Link above casts doubt on Wifi.

I currently have a Hermes. It does everything I need it to do except the slide out keyboard is, almost, completely useless to me. It is very seldom that I take the time to stop driving (if I am) and use both hands to type a reply.
If I have to respond to an email on the go I'll just call the person or wait.
Back when I used a Blackberry, I wouldn't think twice about giving a quick response with one thumb pecking.
I've looked at all the options that I know of and something like the Touch Dual would be great IF it had a full qwerty instead of the multi-key thingie.
The TREO or Q would probably work but I _really_ want/need a full Windows Mobile device. (The TERO or Q may be this and I just don't understand but I think that they use Windows Mobile Smartphone edition).
The HP 6925 (Cingular) would be a good fit if it was current Gen. In fact, there are several fits if you don't mind old, which I do...
Anyway, I would really appreciate knowing if you think there are devices that meet my need. BTW, I use AT&T as my provider but I don't mind switch for the right phone.
TIA

could you put some more screens in here, or make a short vid of it?
*JA IST DENN HEUT SCHO' WEIHNACHTEN ?? *
Keyboard pics / video please!
Nice device!
I am undecided on whether to buy the Kaiser or the Touch Cruise. It hangs on the keyboard on the cruise, if it is easily usable without stylus. I have tried the XT9 Keyboard on the Touch and didn't like it much.
So could you please post some pics (or even better: a video) of the keyboard while typing a SMS or a note?
Much appreciated!
Hi,
I've been using a Tytn II (Kaiser) for a while now. I was thinking of changing my phone and wanted to get a phone with a Qwerty Keyboard (not a slide out) I use email functionality a lot, and I dont like using the touch screen keyboard. I cant go in for a blackberry as my company doesnt support BES. Besides I love windows mobile.
I've heard about the HTC Snap but I dont know when its going to be available.
Any suggestions ideas please?
many thanks,
kooldewil

I´m also looking for something like yours and so far have taken a look to:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium
And:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream
There are also some good devices to consider also, like the new announced Tosh with snapdragon
Good luck and if found something like you want please let us know!
HTC Touch Pro II
Excellent phone but is quite expensive
I can remember back in the day when I first set my eyes on the UX50. What a beauty I thought and even now, 6 years on, I still look at it and think what if they had continued the line.
I thought the clam-shell design was very functional with its swivel screen and camera. Everything on it just seemed so right. Imagine how one would look now with the technology of this day and age. A big bright OLED screen filling out the front of the device, great graphics, blistering speed with a slim form factor and space for a full sized physical keyboard etc.
I really believe they made a mistake when they announced that they would discontinue the device. If they were to make a new similar device I know for sure that I be one of the first to snap it up.
So what do you guys think of a new PDA/phone coming out with a clam-shell, swivel screen action design?
