Technology move faster and faster each day. If you wait, you'll still have to wait later.

I am looking for a replacement of my TyTn II.
I will wait to see when both the HP Ipaq 610C and Imate 9502 are out. And both these models should be out very soon, say less than a month.
I will then try to go through reviews to see if these do not have major problems and decide on one.
The SE Xperia is a bit too much in the future to wait for.

You may want to wait a little longer

It really depends which Touch you are refering to...The GSM Touch with the OMAP 200mhz processor? or either the Touch Dual or Touch Cruise? IMO, they all have thier problems. OMAP is too slow and seriously outdated, and the Touch Dual/Cruise lack proper video drivers. If you have a good phone I would wait...
If you have an old phone with some issues, I would get the Touch Cruise today. Which is just what I did

i was talking about the HTC touch from sprint

Depends on what you're looking for...
...and how long you're willing to wait.
Possible cool phones that will probably show up in the next 6 months:
- iphone v2 with 3G
- more VGA phones
- Sony Xperia
- iMate 9502

You're right I got the new HP 614c since 1 week now. Works like hell. Only misfit in this : the camera is BAAAAAAAD.

What is the absolute best WM touch phone available?

I know this sounds like a very open and subjective question, and sorry for that, but I make enough money that really cost is not an issue for me. As such, while I am dreadfully happy with my XV6800, I am left wondering what I could be missing.
I have looked at the HTC Touch HD, new Omnia Touch, Touch Pro, Diamond, etc. But there are so many choices that I would like to solicit a little aid.
Here are my criteria:
1. Money is no object.
2. Any major US carrier is fine.
3. Touch screen absolutely necessary.
4. Hard Keyboard helpful but not 100% required.
Is there some WM phone out there that just has everything someone could want even at a huge pricetag? Some monster with Wifi, VGA screen, loads of RAM, 3G, and a 5+ mp camera?
Thanks in advance,
Devin

Well by looking at your criteria, I think your best bet would be a Touch HD. You can easily import one that'll work on any GSM network and it has a HUGE screen, although it does have a weird resolution, and the camera is said to be a 5MP.

touch hd is good but i don't think it is available in the us. try the touch pro aka diamond.
it is available through att as the fuze. (sprint also has a touch pro i just like gsm networks better)

Is there a somewhat easy and non-technical way to get an unlocked and imported Touch HD to work with Verison or Sprint in the US?

I thought the Touch Tro and the Diamond were two different phones? The Touch Pro has a hardware keyboard no?

Nope. The Touch HD is a GSM device, while Verizon and Sprint run on CDMA. Two different technologies.

This is true. I'd go with the touch pro (Raphael) if you want a hardware keyboard at the cost of the device being slightly thicker, but the diamond is nice as well (I've used both but only own the pro, and in my opinion I like the pro slightly more.)

If you take a peak here, you´ll be able to see what XDA members think about the best device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446362 (Only HTC models)
Hope it helps,

1. Ditch Sprint and Verizon immediately if you want a good phone
2. Order the unlocked Touch HD from Handtec ($700 delivered to your door)
3. Put in your ATT simcard with unlimited data package
4. Enjoy

The best option.

What phone to buy (TYTN 2 or TOUCH PRO)

First of all let me apologize if this topic is in the wrong section.
Ok , now that i have that sorted here's my problem.
I wanted to buy an HTC phone on ebay. Had an HTC a while back the first TyTN and lost it (I know.....kill me )
Now i pretty much narrowed it down to HTC TyTN 2 and Touch pro.
Is the touch pro really worth that much more money wise i dunno and therefore i cant make up my mind.
Please help me out. Should i buy TyTN 2 or wait till new touch pro 2 comes out and maybe 1st one will be cheaper to buy on ebay.
In my country (Bosnia) there are no plans with gsm operators unless you going for a stupid Nokia.
Thanx in advance

all depends on what you need. the touch pro is a wonderful device.... useful.. TV out, good camera, flash... a tad slow GPS.. but it's VGA, with a keyboard... and much more..
the kaiser has less memory, is a QVGA, slower processor, larger and heavier.. doesn't have a TV Out...

thanx for the advice. Hopefully touch pro 2 will be out and then i can afford the current touch pro.

well.... i know a man with a Touch Cruise for sale...............
sorry.... my bad!

yeh, go for the touch pro or the touch pro2!

Just go to the marketplace forum and try getting a Touch Pro... they are selling for a good price.

Touch Pro 3 to have snapdragon?

Is it likely that the Touch Pro 3 will be Snapdragon powered like the Leo?
And I suppose that as the TP2 hasn't been out that long, I guess we will have a long wait for the TP3? At least a year?
I'd like a Leo but will really miss my Kaiser keyboard and D-Pad / Extra buttons.

I doubt the Touch Pro 3 will have a D-Pad. I would expect it to be Snapdragon-based, and to be released sometime around next May (but that's purely a guess based on the relative release dates of the Touch HD, Touch Pro2 and HD2).

Well if you want to wait and buy a US branded version than yes I'd say you are going to have to wait a year for it. But come April-May the GSM EU/Asia Unlocked versions should be arriving. Seeing as that is when the Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2 originally went on sale.
US carriers are usually always 6month-1yr+ behind on sell phones and Technology.

does anyone have any specs in the touch pro 3 ?
i could hold off upgrading my xperia if there was something cool and exciting round the corner ... ?

Well, if you look at HTC's past it will be likely that all high end devices from now until about two years from now (initial EU release dates) will use that exact same Snapdragon processor, yes

yes, Snapdragon cpu is the way to the future

It's not even a phone yet. This is all pure speculation.

htc touch pro2 or htc hd ?

hey guys
how you doin all, hope u keeping well
i just wanna ask ya cuz i wanna buy new htc which is better
htc touch pro2 or htc hd
thanx in advanced

Rhodium is much better on my opinion!

TP 2 , HTC should always keep a hard keyboard in the Android and WP7s product line.

Cold not be more agree!!
Hope HTC comes soon with something interesting for both platforms

I would probably go with the HD2, simply because of the much larger screen (which is also capacitive) and the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The Rhodium is a fine device, and the keyboard is unparalleled, but the internal processor sucks to say the least, and the resistive screen cannot even be compared to the capacitive one on the HD2. Both devices are excellent though, so no matter which you choose, you can't make the wrong choice.

That's your real decision in this...do you need the (world's best) keyboard bad enough to accept some of the (still awesome) TP2's relative shortcomings? Or can you get as comfortable with typing/swyping on this big gorgeous screen as many of us have done now.
EDIT: and just so everybody knows (and as you can see), orb3000 has arranged for some custom scripting that auto populates any thread with "TP2 vs" in the title, with a post of his saying "Rhodium is much better in my opinion!"...automatically and immediately as soon as the thread is posted lol j/k...he's just very passionate about his qwerty, and with good reason!
