which better HTC Touch Pro or HTC Touch Diamond2 ?
now i have HTC Touch Pro, can buy HTC Touch Diamond2, which better
and why?
Edit/Delete Message
like i mention in a post similar to this, TP2 and Diamond 2 have the SAME specs as the TouchPro... no difference in speeds since its running the same Qualcomm 528mhz CPU as the TP, what youre basically looking at is that the Diamond 2 has NO hardware keyboard, bigger screen along with proximity sensor, no DPad, preloaded with 6.5, no flash but with a 5 MP camera, and also the price is more, id stick to TP if i were you until theres a device that has new specs like the Leo (I.E)
which is better? apples or oranges? cake or ice cream? internals are the same, the features are different. dont ask us which is better. ask yourself.

Hi people,
It's getting to be that time again, and I'm trying to decide whether or not to spend the extra cash for the Touch HD instead of a Touch Diamond...
Reasons to go for it:
-3.8" @ 800x480 baby!
-More RAM + ROM
-Did I mention the huge screen?
Reasons not to:
-The price difference is HUGE at o2 Germany - 99 for the Diamond vs. 300+ for the HD...
-Same processor, same tech, etc.
So here's the big question - does the extra RAM on the HD actually make much of a difference in terms of speed? Or will I be noticing that mainly when I'm running a bunch of applications at once?
The Touch HD seems to be comparable to the Touch Pro in terms of specs. I tried a Diamond before I got my Pro, and there was definitely a speed difference. I imagine the same will be true of the HD compared to the Diamond. However, the Diamond was certainly usable, so it depends on your priorities.
Hmmm, good to know. Didn't think the Touch Pro would be faster than the Diamond, which was why I didn't even consider going with that - but that being the case, the Pro is looking pretty good because of the keyboard...
Are there any big differences between Diamond, Diamond Pro and HD in terms of the TF3D interface?
Hear me out.
It looks nice enough but im a owner of a x1 which i think looks better, but this is not my point.
I look at the specs of my x1:
288mb ram (ram on gpu - but never proven)
512mb rom
480 - 800 wvga 3.0" screen
3.2mp camera
wm 6.1
qualcomm msm 7200a cpu (528mhz arm 11 core + 256mhz arm 9 core)
1500mah battery
+ all the standard stuff
now the tp2 specs
288mb ram
512mb rom
480 - 800 wvga 3.6" screen
3.2mp camera
wm 6.1 (with free upgrade to 6.5)
qualcomm msm 7201a cpu (528mhz arm 11 core. not sure if it has second core???)
1500mah battey
--------------------------------------------------
To me the specs are almost the same and by the time the tp2 gets release it would be about 9 months after the x1. Dont u think the specs should have been a lot better?
Well although they may look the same on paper, the Diamond2 (essentially the same as the Pro2 software, processor and GPU wise), scored extremely high on core player's benchmarks, especially compared to the XPERIA. Go here to read more. And in addition, I think HTC made leaps and bounds with tweaking its newer devices and TF3D (probably the same stuff the fine folks at XDA have been doing for years) to make them much faster, despite having almost the same hardware.
Plus, the tilting screen is a huge plus for me. The Kaiser, with its beautiful tilting screen, is admittedly my first Windows Mobile device, so now I kind of expect a tilting display (I'm spoiled now). I think HTC may be including real, fast, uncrippled GPU drivers this time, so the devices will be faster like they are (NOT CONFIRMED, just my own suspicion). And I believe the processor has a second core, simply because I'm pretty sure all of the Qualcomm MSM7xxx processors do. So IMHO I think it's a little better than the X1 because of its speed and its bigger screen, although I've never owned an XPERIA so I don't know for sure.

They could have, at the very least used a 5MP camera, but then... I think they'd reason out that it's not the main reason you're buying HTC.
it better have drivers or i am seriously thinking my next phone will be a toshiba with a 1ghz snapdragon cpu.
I just hate that the touch pro 2 does not have a dpad or softkeys.
x1 has bad benchmarks because it has really bad drivers. as far as touchflo goes thats software that and device can have. (as the new touchflo in the tp2 has been cooked into a rom and cab form for the x1 and touch hd).
i cant see how they can release a product 9 months after and just twick the hardware a bit and the ask for the £500.
im waiting for a phone with a bit jump in specs
The TP2 is better, but not by much at all, so I am either going to go with the Toshiba TG01, SE Idou, or Omnia HD.
Well
At least is the best option to upgrade from Universal
Is not the best for sure but it´s something imprivement
Otherwise wait to december and you´ll see the new 2010 models!

Exactly like me. The biggest thing I hate in the TP2 is the old and slow CPU. The 1 GHz Snapragon is SO much faster. I've tested it in the TG01 myself and found it EXCELLENT - see my MWC articles if interested.
Come on, HTC, it's 2009 - the TG01 was already in working order in February (again, I've tested it myself at MWC), why couldn't you put the same Snapdragon in your phones?!
tegra chip + android = perfect touch pro 2

I totally agree!
To answer the thread initiators question - DEFINITELY NOT!
Snapdragon got it all sewn up for me. (Toshiba's TG01 K01 Anybody?)
agree, I'm looking forward to a powerful device with Snapdragon! and it looks like toshiba will have it out many months a head of the ever sooo slow htc.
Device with Snapdragon is powerful, but without d-pad and other buttons is unuseful. Fast CPU is not enough. I have Touch HD and this device is nice, but very uncomfortable and hard to control :-(...
I'm actually dumping my X1 because I hate the keyboard, but I'll probably get a Fuze before the Touch Pro 2 comes out to hold me.
Hi,
I'm hoping to buy a new phone (to use with wifi only) and I found good deals on all of these phones. I would like to know which you recommend.
Some important things are:
400mhz+ Processor
128+ RAM
VGA Screen (If possible)
Graphics Processor
Windows Mobile 6.5 Upgrade
My choices are:
HTC Touch, Touch Diamond or TyTn 2
Thanks,
Will
then you should forget about Touch as it only has 201mhz processor and qvga screen..but for wifi-use only, i think it's more than enough..
The HTC Diamond should do what you need, unless you want a keyboard like the tytn2.
Go for Rhodium!!
A great device
Hi all,
Basically I am planning to buy Diamond 2, since I am using Trinity P3600...
I want a bigger screen... therefore Diamond 2, HD2 is too big... then I am thinking, whether there are a 3.6" device (Touch Pro 2) without keyboard.
Even I see the road map of 2010 Q1-2, there are no WM device with >3.2"
screen. Then I search pdadb.net and found HTC Qilin with a strange CPU.
If it is Qualcomm CPU with at least 500Mhz, I would really think about it.
Any suggestion guys or gals?
Godspeed,

Hi mates
I have omnia and i love winmo but touch sensitivity in omnia not good for me.
i plan to buy a new windows mobile , i cant decide wich one is better .
I know HD2 is the best but I DONT LIKE THE SIZE OF HD2 ITS SOO BIG FOR ME :-( .
I want to buy a windows mobile with :
1.Powerfull cpu,ram
2.Best touch sensivity
3.Best battery life
4.Goooood software support
now wich phone you prefer to me ?
( HD-mini,OMNIA2,OMNIA PRO,..... or others )
or a android phone with this specifications .
Thaaaaanks
Well, after seeing Reviews for the HD-Mini, it's actually a terrible device. Plus, the HVGA Resolution is like a black-sheep... Almost NO Apps work with the Resolution.
If you want a decent phone, with all of the traits you listed above, I'd recommend either a Touch Diamond 2 or a First Edition Touch Diamond.
The specs are almost 100% the same, but the Touch Diamond actually has slightly better performance & battery life than it's successor (Touch Diamond 2).
The same thing can be said about the Touch Pro and the Touch Pro 2.
wich one is best in software support ?
OMNIA2 or DAIMOND2
I'd actually recommend you get a HTC HD2 since you want something thats got a good touchscreen, powerful CPU/Lost of RAM, Good Battery Life & Software Support.
The HD2 has all of that AND has an enormous screen.. and to support this it has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor (CPU), 448mb of RAM and 5 hours of battery life.
My friend actually bought one and i fiddled around with it and i was absolutely blown away by how responsive his touchscreen was.. i think its a capacitive screen relative to what im used to which (Resistive). It also has multitouch capabilities lol.
Maybe a HTC Desire if you are intrested in android (3.7 inch) or an X10 xperia
Stick with HTC devices like the Diamond2 or the Desire depending on your needs.
which one have more app ?
OMNIA2 or DAIMOND2
Honestly, the Diamond 2.
