"TOUCH PRO" "TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO""TOUCH PRO"
my brain is now doing overtime........
When is HTC gonna give us break?
for the last few months i have been waiting with patients for my Diamond upgrade,
Now reading the Diamond posts and checking out
http://www.htc.com/www/default.aspx
i found out that the so called "TOUCH PRO" IS ON ITS WAY GRRRR!!!!!
What does 1 do????
wait again for it to come out,
which by dat time HTC will most probably bring out the "HTC TOUCH PRO DIAMOND ULTIMATE THINGY" or something....
here we go again.......
My advice dont get the 1st batch wait a little longer and you still wont be happy or have wot you wanted in the fist place...
"that didnt make sense see wot its doing to me"
I will do wot HTC wants:
Diamond 1st then wait for the Touch Pro....
So they can sell the same product again & again & again with suttle changes and a shiny new look....like every other company...
Lets have your comments or advice.....
Forget the Diamond - wait for the Pro.

Bite your tongue man!!
In IT, there is always something bigger and better just around the corner, you just have to decide when your going to bite the bullet and buy a phone.
HTC will soon make something better than the Pro, do you wait for that?
Diamond Pro for me
pro for me
i hope tmobile usa will get the pro by years end .... i like the diamond but the pro is the icing on the cake.... found out that tombile uk is getting one of them soon think its the diamond
I must admit that I'm getting tempted by the Diamond. Rumours are that it will be out on Orange in a few days. Still no word on the Pro.
Play.com say they're going to have them on 29 of August for £549.99

Better start saving up!
expansys have the diamond in stock for around £400 ish, TBH HTC is not that pad, the Pro is essentially the long awaited successor to the Universal, there has been nothing pocetable with a
VGA screen
Fold out Keyboard
and up to date spec like in built GPS and HSDPA
since the Uni in 2005

The Universal isn't the most pocketable of devices... And there have been offerings from other companies (Toshiba G9XX anyone?), but the Raphael is probably the best yet!
lol i guess i must have big pockets, the uni was an excellent device in its time, and whilst there have been offerings from other manufacturers, I was talking about HTC
the only issue with either of these phones with me is that they are both only triband... i need quad..if it wasnt for that I would jump all over either one really.
From what I have been reading, wait for the Pro.. I am

G900, i have one and its higher res than the universal and roughly the same size as the TyTN
800x480. However, res aint everything. I am now downgrading on screen real-estate to an Omni because, whats the point in having a tv that will do 1080p but is only 32inch? There ain't none. I now question 640x480. It's all very well having sharpness but, on 2./3.2inch screens, that are essentialy phones, does it make any practical diference? I'm sure there are people who watch movies on there phones but no one can honestly say they are any good at this - yea, yeah, it will play and you can watch it but, come on, its rubbish quality compared to pmp's.
I spoke to orange cs today regarding the Diamond they said if HTC dont change their mind
it shoud be out by the middle of this month @ the latest.....
I've made my mind up im getting it... "THE HTC DIAMOND"
and i cant wait.
The last time i upgraded it became a 12 month contract in stead of 18 so it aint so bad....
""" if i hear that THE PRO wont be delayed much longer i just mite consider waiting"""
i got my ELF as soon as it was released & within a month they released the Vogue & the Nike...
I was gutted but then when i found out that the Nike aint got WiFi,smaller screen and a slide out keyboard that aint much help etc etc etc...i was smiling again (-)
but as 1 of you said ""DO YOU JUST KEEP WAITING AND NEVER HAVE WHAT YOU WANT""
I want 1 & i want it now.....
I cant believe how many ppl have viewed my post looks like its gonna go a long way.............keep em cumming......
Whats the difference
Between the Dimond and the Pro, is it just the keyboard or something else ?

Thanks, no doubt its thicker as well, one of the reasons I sold my Kaiser and kept the Niki !!!
I have a few questions that I'm sure one of you all have the answer to. I am in dire need of a new phone, currently using a pos Treo 750. I am stuck between the Xperia and the Touch Pro as most are. Will the Touch Pro work on the T-mobile USA network? Do I have to wait for a US release of the phone or can I purchase one overseas to use thats unlocked? Sorry for all the question but I'm kinda new to all this.
Ok, I finally got my Tilt camera working(got rid of the black screen) after trying multiple camera .cabs from here. My problem now is that the HTC album no longer comes up when I hit album on the camera screen. It goes to the default album which I don't want. In WM6.0 the HTC Album attached to camera automatically when installed, now since the rom upgrade it doesn't.
Any help would be great. Thanks
This may be better suited for the Kaiser forum, as it seems it'd be very device specific.

Thanks, I posted it over there via your provided link. Hopefully someone can help. BTW...I've got a black 06 350Z. So that pretty much makes us family. lol
Hey, another thing...how did you get a HTC Touch Pro early?? And how do you like it? Is the screen glass like the iphone?
Very nice, I'd take one.
Too bad I'm broke and I'm lucky to even afford a 1993, forget a 2006.

The screen is glass, but it's not capacitive so it doesn't have the same sensitivity as the iPhone's. I got the Fuze on eBay, oddly enough, and as for how I like it... It's the best Windows Mobile phone I've ever used, but since selling it I've realized I don't want another Windows Mobile phone. Also not worth $1,000 so I feel bad for the people who bought a Touch Pro for that much, when it comes out for $299 on AT&T I'd consider buying it if they don't come out with an Android phone soon.
Certainly off topic, but since you're senior around here, I'm interested in what you're moving on to. Thanks

Waiting for Android to come out for AT&T. Whether the device is HTC or not doesn't concern me, I just want Android at this point. No word on if/when they're releasing a phone with it, but I'll wait a while and see.
Hi guys,
After having my Uni for a good while now and the HTC Monet before that, I've gotten quite attached to the whole smartphone shebang. I've got some cash to spend on a new one though, and was hoping that some of you guys could give me advice on what to get. I've picked a few that appeal to me, and any other suggestions in the same price range would be great.
I wouldn't object to second hand phones but only if they're good quality (like Computer Exchange's A-grade) and almost as new.
Right now, I'm thinking:
HTC Dream - Not a beautiful thing, but I'd like to see whether I prefer Android or WinMo; what's the general consensus on this?
HTC S740 (Rose, I think)
HTC Diamond
HTC Raphael
If I could choose one of these phones to have right now, it would definitely be the Raphael as it has everything I want (touch screen, QWERTY, GPS) and more. But there's a pretty large price difference between this and the others, and I don't know if it's worth another £100+ more than a Diamond just for the QWERTY keyboard and an FM radio.
The Diamond is one of my favourites, but after having a Uni for so long I'm a bit scared of having to tap out texts with the touch screen only - is this easy?
That problem is solved with the S740, however I don't really want to have to use WMS and a smallish screen for everything.
One final question as I'm a still a slight n00b - the AGPS systems don't cost anything to run after you buy something like TomTom 7, right? I'm not on a great contract and 3G access would cost me, so I don't want to keep having to access Google Maps or something every time I want to find my way around.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Sorry if I accidentally aggravated you guys by posting in the wrong board.
I added a poll too because it might make answers easier and, well, it looks pretty.
I'd get HTC Rose.
The best keyboard imo. The only other phones with keyboards that beat the crap out of it are HTC Touch Pro2 and Nokie E90.
Thanks, but how much would I miss out on with WMS?
Get the latest & greatest: the Touch Pro 2! See the Rhodium forum section for details...
As much as i would love a shiny Touch Pro2, there's no way I can afford it, both on contract and alone.
Maybe I should wait and see if the original Touch Pro gets any cheaper once the 2 is out...

Forgot to mention the best keyboard ever: Universal one!
even with its 4 years old the size of the keys and its confortability and size make it the best to this date!

If you are patient enough you can get a tp with a very low price, just wait till december when 2010 models go anounced and you´ll see!
consumism has a good side as all gets old very very fast...
by the way tp2 is out since a month or so!
if you need a keyboard the best option is tp from your list
Thanks Orb. Yeah, I have pretty much fallen in love with the keyboard on the Universal and it's the reason why I want a decent one on whatever I buy next. I sort of wish I didn't ask about the TP getting cheaper, because I want it now . Stupid impatience. Isn't Windows Mobile 7 supposed to be released in 2010? Maybe it would be worth waiting for that if it has multi-touch and things. I assumed that stuff won't work on most (if not all) existing handsets(?).
While we're talking, how much do you like your S621? I know a guy who got one when someone else upgraded, and he basically has no idea what it is nor how to use it. I was thinking of buying it cheap and messing with it a bit (I'm not considering it as a possible new phone).

If you wanna wait for wm7 then prepare to pay more for a device wich has it included!
I asume that it´s a matter of budget, so wm7 will not be cheap when its launched (I don´t think we see it before Sept 2010)
As for noble S621 I think a reasonable price (depending on the conditions) is around 100-150USD, it´s a great smartphone, but have a look on marketplace before you make your desicion, as you can find very good deals on used devices from trustable members.
Good luck then,
Oh, I definitely can't be bothered then
Someone will probably get something working on the popular devices anyway.
I think it's actually an Exaclibur (S620) but it has an AZERTY keyboard because it wasn't from the UK, and I could probably buy if from him for about £15 if I'm lucky. Although, it is a bit scratched.
I'll probably end up going for the original Touch Pro, maybe now or maybe when it's cheaper. Anyone got any cheap and good sites/shops? Except for things like eBay and Computer Exchange.
Yeah it´s the Excalibur S621 or S620 is almost the same.
If you can buy it for 15 pounds please let me know where!
I want one really!
Have you visited marketplace section on this forum?
I would go 1st than to go any other site as you can find good deals!
I just bought a Touch Pro @ good price.
let me know about the cheap excalibur please, I´m interested.
Cheers,
Okay, thanks for the tip.
I've asked about whether or not the Excalibur is up for grabs, but I think the keyboard is AZERTY rather than QWERTY (I don't know what they use in Mexico).
we use qwerty but I can get used to new layout...
still interested!
Cool, I'll tell you when I get a reply but it's possible that I won't be able to get my hands on it until September. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your TP?
Ok
Let me know
PM sent with your question
Thanks. So I guess the general idea is just to save up for a Touch Pro. And hopefully AGPS is free
As the title says I have just brought a new touch pro 2 and I like its keyboard very much. I also have my touch hd and was thinking of selling it but the trade your phone in places will pay £140 and I am wondering if there is any reason I should keep my touch hd?
Do any of you have 2 phones and if so why?

Hi there, i have a TP2 and an Diamond, so that if I brick my TP2, i still have something to mod
It just makes sense to have a backup
What a strange question?
I keep 3 devices (on my sig) because I like them, that´s it

140 that is a ripoff ebay it if you dont want it. also i really like phones i would keep them. just look at my sig.
I keep two smartphones and a dumb phone just in case (a moto razr), check my sig. I keep my dash usually as a back up if i need to go somewhere and im in the middle of flashing my kaiser. That and i flash my kaiser a lot, so if something goes terribly wrong i still have a smartphone i can use. I'd keep it, just in case.

I have actually been asking myself the same question lately as I expect the HTC Supersonic to come out and I have a touch pro 2. For me the question boils down to the following. I need a GPS, I want something i can comfortably surf/watch movies on while I am on the go, I like using my touch pro 2 as a MP3 player, I like using a phone as a email device/RSS reader and I like using my phone as a mobile Instant messenger device and for keeping up with my Facebook.
The problem is I can't use 1 phone to do all things at the same time. I can GPS or I can phone or I can use it as wifi hotspot or I can chat, or I can MP3...
With 2 phones I can GPS on either one and use the other as a phone. When not phoning I can hotspot so on so forth.
Looking at things from the oppositte perspective, I can take viliv s5 or a dell mini 5 and do everything I want to do but phone at the same time. If I get it with 3G I can even hotspot with the mini.
SO I am strongly leaning towards getting a MID device.
Have 2 and right now the Hermes is just a backup.

Those two are good phones, but why do you like the Excalibur? It doesn't look good.
Excalibur is my wife´s telephone and it´s really good one for someone that needs basic functions only
As you can see keyboard devices are my choice
I think most on here have more than one phone, I have a whole host of winmo phones in my collection:
XDA
M1000
2 x Athena
Touch HD
Omnia
Hermes
Spv
Plus a couple of windows PDA's
Next month will be getting an iphone for the wife to use, april will get a desire.

It's a classic device modded more than any other SP of it's time Very well made with a great hardware keyboard
3 in sig as i don't see the point in selling to get a menial amount of money also like to have a back up.
Just like orb3000 the gf uses the Excalibur
i have 3 devices i never really use 2 i have a xda2 i never use not in like 3 years a blackberry curve 8900 i might swap back to soon and current a touch hd. but as soon as i get my android device i will use that as well so 4. but theres no point in me selling any of my devices i will just spend the money on more phones and if i sell my blackberry 8900 id probly get £150 i can't get any phone for that money that would be better than my 8900
Well it depends if you like your second phone or not. If it's sitting gathering dust and you don't have a use for it, I'd suggeest ebaying it as anything gathering dust is just wasted money. As with cars and general tech gadgets they all generally drop in price in time. So if don't have a use for it you are better selling it off sooner rather than later to recoup your purchase.
I have two lines, so the HD2 for my personal, the iPhone 3GS for my work line, and then the Hero is my extra phone.
Hi, looking to get a PDA after not having one for 2-3 years. I used to have a polaris and before that a wizard so I want to know which to consider to get now.
I would ideally like one with slide qwerty, but not particularly bothered.
I have trawled the net but all too confusing , so many out there now.lol.
I would spend up to £180 second hand. I know they all have their niggles , so what is a good all rounder that can be customised with roms and the like?
I used to flash and flash my old one's with allsorts of roms. Been to iphone and got bored of that so I am off back to the old trusty PDA.
What would you guys recommend??????
Cheers all!!

Hi, I need one with GPS built in ideally. I know the kaiser has it built in does the touch pro 2?
Which one has better customability? As in custom roms etc......
Was touching on kaiser myself but was thinking maybe a bit slow now, which would be the same allrounder with gps and rom cooking?
Thanks.

Hi, bought HTC tytn II brand new for £100. I think this is a good deal, u think??
I will play on this for a bit then upgrade when I get back into the swing of things.
Thanks for your suggestions guys.
P.s just one thing , the phone is locked to vodafone, I presume it is quite easy to unlock?
(It used to be!!)
Thanks.

Hi, Ahh, bit of a development, I got the Kaiser , then I got what I thought was the deal I could not refuse.
I got a brand new HTC touch 2 pro for £230, so now I have 2 PDA's when I only wanted one.....arrrggghhh.
I presume this is a good deal and worth keeping over the Kaiser?
What would you guys do?
The Kaiser is for sale if wanted by anyone. (If pro 2 any good)
P.s Why is the kaiser sim unlock free, but htc touch pro 2 isn't????????
thanks.

I'd keep both the TP2 is a far superior device than Kaiser but keep the Kaiser as back up, b.t.w the price you got TP2 for is awesome
If you want to compare the specs Device Database @ top of forum will show you how much better TP2 is
