What's the best WinMo phone of 2008?

This website says HTC Touch Diamond will be the best phone of 2008: http://www.mytouch-diamond-phone.com
Anyone feel the same way? I know the new iPhone has 3G but the Diamond also touts 3G speed...

The iPhone is not a WinMo phone.
Why even bring it up if you're asking what the best WinMo phone is?

My candidates for the best WinMo phone of 2008 are:
Super number 1.- Htc Advantage x7510!!
1.- Touch Pro Raphael
2.- Samsung Omnia
3.- Toshiba protegé g910
4.- Diamond
Iphone is not WinMo and can not compare with any of the ones above
Iphone sucks in several aspects.... so let´s not talk about it!
Cheers

thanx for spamming us with your site.

Yeah, all 5 of his posts are basically cut-and-paste.

Currently I would say the HTC Touch Diamond.
Either the HTC Touch Pro or the SE Expreria might surpass it when they become available.

Hahaha you're joking, right? I presume yo;ve never actually used any of the above, especially the G910...
My vote would be the i780, possibly followed by the i900 if you don't want a keyboard (too early for real user reviews yet). Forget the eye-candy and go for something that works better than any other PPC out there - at a bargain price. Not just my opinion:-

hello from italy
i had samsung 780,and now i have diamond and omnia, i beleve omnia is the best or will be the best, it have a good battery, superb cam, big display (alas with bad resolution), good touchscreen, write on it is easy without stylus, problem with navigators, tomtom7 needs of gps gate, garmin is free (why always this problem?), the fix is good,
some little problem with installations of some programs and games, with diamond no problems, for me however omnia is the best for NOW

Huge improvements
Allthough there is room for a improvements, here and there, its a real big step up from the v. 1.x versions.
Now you can actually manage all the controls, and the new favorite list also works great.

I could be wrong because I only used slingplayer v1.6 once on my HD2, but does it seem like v2.0 video quality is worse than 1.6? (Yes I am on the high quality setting)

I would agree with this. Definatly looks worse. I do like the new interface but It seems like its going down the route of "iPhone". Good app design but has taken away most of the settings like resolution, audio sync etc. And just left us with Low Quality & High Quality. I think I can manage as it does feel alot better to use now but would like some more options.

also available in the UK aswell

Hrm...was probably going to go buy a slingbox if this was working good...but seems like quality isn't good at all..Correct?
Probably will just wait for MobiTV to be released then...

The quality does seem a little worse on the new software and does lack custom settings but my got does it stream better, I could never get a good stream without constant buffering at work with about half signal of EDGE, now its off like a trooper.
Quality is still very watchable and finally we have full screen. After owning a slingbox for over a year now I am definalty not put off by this small drop in quality.
If you want TV on your mobile get a slingbox pro with freeview. Then you get the added facility to watch it on any computer in the world too.

Which version can I take for the HD2?

Not sure what you mean?

I think he means since HD2 isn't listed, which phone should he pick?

30 Sec Skip Fwd/Back
I have a Touch Pro II. Anyone figure out all the keyboard mappings (for a DishNetwork PVR)?
I Found FF and Rwd, but I'd really like the Skip Fwd/Back buttons.
I also saw in an iPhone press release that their app was incorporating Dish Remote Access (hopefully for setting up the PVR). Any sign of that here ?

Just tested 2.0 on my old Tilt for grins.
Wanted to see if the reduced quality/better streaming was HD2 platform issue or not. Same reduced quality and good streaming on the Tilt. Moved back to version 1.6 and get better quality with same good streaming. This is from a Slingbox Classic. Could be different from newer units.

[Q] Hard choice... Please write your opinion.

I think it is time to get new PDA!
I have think about HTC HD2 and HTC Desire. Question for thous who have used HD2, Desire or other similar mobile devices.
Of course Desire use Android OS 2.1 but HD2 use Windows Mobile 6.5. I have expirience only on WM because now I have HTC TyTn.
I want now which is moust customizable, which one have the best soft etc..?
I also now what now on HD2 you can do dual boot with WM and Andorid OS. So maybe it is worth to buy HD2. Also if you sugest me to buy other PDA please levae a comment with reason why..
