Best HTC, Is the Diamond that good?

Hi guys,
I have tried searching for a thread like this but only found one from 07', Im think about upgrading my Trinity to a newer model but i am not sure which model to upgrade to, I like the looks of the Diamond but not sure about the battery life and size, is the Diamond pro (not sure if that is the correct name, it has the slide out keyboard) going to be any better? How dose the Titan compare? Or the Polaris? Is there any others I have missed?
Thanks

I don't know about the best HTC, but I can tell you that we are hearing a lot of rumours about bugs and lock ups with the Diamond. I haven't checked recently though, maybe they have brought out a less buggy rom for it or solved the issue.

you're asking for out personal opinions, so you can't hope to get an unskewed answer.
my answer- get a smartphone with plenty of ram and processor. You'll love the ease of use that i just can't seem to get on ppc.

My personnal:
pros - TouchFlo 3D, G-sensor,VGA screen,Size,Design
cons - speed of WM6 scrooling,slower video playback (but still can play unconverted videos), everyone MUST try it, so you can not even tell somebody you have it.

Some questions about TD2 and TP2

Hello all hope u are fine
I'm looking forward to buy a new Pocket PC phone,and my choice is between TOUCH PRO 2 and TOUCH DIAMOND 2,so i have some questions.
1_How is the build quality of this phones?
2_How is audio quality of this phones(in both loudspeaker and headset)? how do they compare to Nokia N95 8GB(My current phone)?
3_In the benchmarks i saw,it seems TD2 is a little faster than TP2,is that right ?
4_How is the screen sensitivity of these phones?
5_Overall which one do u choose between them?
thanks

I would recommend to enter to D2 and TP2 section and read user comments.
Personally I prefer TP2 because it´s hardware keyboard wich is a must for me
Good luck,

Well i first wanted to ask in TP2 and TD2 section but it would be a double post thats why i asked here

It really depends on what you prefer.
Like orb3000 mentioned the TP2 has a keyboard. For many thats the core factor in deciding between the two phones.
The TP2 has a bigger screen, longer battery life, g-sensor and straightalk which provides better audio. The downside against diamond 2 is it only has 3.2 megapixel camera but i'm sure the others mentioned above surely compensate for that.
If you use the search button or google you will be able to find some info

HTC Magic Vs Touch2

hi everyone. this is my first post ever :O
I'm thinking, and i want purchase a PDA but I'm having serious problems choosing one
HTC is the only brand I'll be considering but witch brand!!! I'm thing of Sapphire or Topaz. Beside the obvious differences, camcorder, size, ect, i don't know with is better!!
my main questions are:
- Does the Sapphire manage rom's other than the Hero's rom?
- Does the Topaz supports the Sapphire or Hero's rom?
- With of this 2 PDA's will be able to support multi touch? ( I've seen a vid and Sapphire supported it :S )
- Wicth has the best touch screen and why!
- Witch has the best processor?
- Witch has the best accelerometer?
in this "dogfight" who wins
thanks guys

The Magic is an Android OS and the Topaz ? ( Diamond 2 ) is Windows Mobile. The roms are not interchangable, and for now there seem to be more people cooking roms for the Topaz, though that could change.
Before considering anything else about the phones, " do you want Android or Windows Mobile " study up on that decision first.

I've seen the windows OS and didn't find it nothing special, better than the iPhone for miles.
Android has a big advantage because it's developed by the same people that are responsible for Google, and in my opinion it will outgrow W.M.. haven't tried it but i think it's easier to program in Android than W.M.!!
Finally, yes i don´t know what OS will buy!!!!

Welcome to forums
I would stay with WM meantime Android becomes a more solid and mature OS, by now is too young and limited.
Just my opinion,

6.1 vs 6.5 vs 6.5.x, speed, memory management etc

I know that the general hardware minimum requirements for 6.5 are quite a bit higher than 6.1, but I really wanted to know if anyone knew exactly what has changeed with winmo under the hood. I tried googling it and checking wikipedia and of course google searching XDA...but only found a lot of ROM/device specific answers regarding this question. I believe i read somewhere a while ago that MS had changed the memory management system with 6.5 from what was used in 6.1. And i was just curious to exactly what changes were made.
And as far as the builds that are being released with 6.5.1 and the newest 6.5.3, does anyone have any info on that? I heard one of the more recent builds of 6.5.1 (i forget which one it was, but brandon miniman did a video review)said it was dramatically faster than previous 6.5.1 builds. Right now i'm very curious; i'm wondering if MS is just doing aesthetics updates w/ the 6.5.x builds...or if they're actually changing how it works under the hood as well.

maybe this might help you

I find the simbadogg's question valid even now.
So, is there finally a clear answer? Any benchmarks? Charts?
Thanks

would like to know too

Possibility of ROM porting SE->HTC

OK, now, I've searched the forum, but can't find the exact answer to my question. I have flashed multiple ROMs for my HTC Touch Pro2, but I was wondering. If the Manila leaks and tweaks for the HTC HD2 can be used for the TP2, would it also be possible to, for a say, port the Sony Ericsson X2's ROM to the TP2? Because Manila is tweaked more and more, but I would like to experience what the X2 feel on a TP2 would be like. I'm thinking WM to WM should be possible, but have no idea of the amount of work involved. I'm also curious for the speed it will or won't have on my device.
I know there's some .cab to get the panels item working a bit, but I'm looking for 'everything'..
Maybe the X2 is the wrong example, because the hardspl isn't fixed yet, but the packages are, right? Else: take the X1 for example.
Thanks in advance for any answers!
