Hi, I am a long time TyTN user & am contemplating buying a friends Diamond as he's bought an iPhone.
I've read some bad reviews about the TF3D...laggy interface etc, will I notice this when I step up to Diamond, or because it is sooo much newer than my TyTN will I not notice this sort of thing.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Josh
You can always uncheck TF3D from the homescreen if you don't like it. The main limitation of the Diamond imo is the fact that you'll have a very limited storage of only 4GB. Well...that and the fact that you may be very used to a hard keyboard.
If its a very good price, (i.e. much cheaper than eBay) than go for it! I'm sure you'll appreciate having a much newer phone.

In your place I would stay with TyTN as it has keyboard and it´s more focused to a buissness using.
If you don´t care to loose a great physical keyboard maybe diamond is ok
p.d. my condolences to your friend for the iphone...
Hi all,
I've been posting in a couple of other furms about a phone for my GF (I'm currently running a touch HD, - previously a TP, a dimaond, and an Orbit)
I've pretty much settled on the touch 3G for her, but the lack of posts about this phone worries me a little. Is it not a popular phone? it seems to do everything you could ask of a phone (touchscreen, built in GPS, camera) and she likes the size etc.
why does it not seem so popular?
thanks
Hi
I think that the problem of the jade is the small dimension,that in this moment the people don't like.
The people like a "big" dimension (Hd and iphone stile).
It is the best PDA phone I have ever had. (With a new LITE ROM )
I think that it is not so popular because people who would like it bought Diamond or another nice PDA phone just a few months ago. They do not need the new one, especially when it has the same "power" .
I upgraded from Artemis, so the change was worth for me.
I think Jade is mid-entry PDA and it have nothing special e.g. big sceen, good camera, hi quality sound
So people may pick the cheaper one or the rich feature one.
But I really love my Jade, it very suit to me.
I love my Jade too
I have no regret in buying this phone, and after almost 3 months of owning one, still busy customizing my Jade.
I thing that there are not many posts, because in PPC forums discuss usually people whose understand to PocketPCs. Those people usually buy something better than Jade. Touch 3G is really mainstream. It's for everyone.
And maybe it's so good that it hasn't so many problems which than couldn't be discused on forums
I have one for about 3 weeks and I'm really satisfied with it. For it's price it's really good (I'm student so I haven't money on something like Touch HD)
It's simple: The HTC Touch 3G is _not_ being sold in the USA.

Just buy it for her. She'll love it. This is the most VFM pda phone on the market... and the most cute looking.
I'm also having one and I'm absolutely happy with it. What was attracting me was the small size, the design but still having all the nice features...
well, it's here!!
I will spend sometime setting it up for her and installing all the apps I put on the Orbit for her, it actually looks pretty good. Small and need with a decent screen so hopefully she'll love it.
Trying to find a pink skin for it at the mo. Skinit.com have great features and allow you to design your own skin, but they don't support the touch 3G.
Might have to stick with a silicone case for her, not quite as nice but should do the trick.

There are at least 2 pink skins...

Congratulations on making the right decision! Please tell here to enjoy it! It's a great phone! Cheers!
sorry, when I said Skin, I meant a case...
a bit like www.skinit.com, but they don't do the 3G model
I think the main drawback of touch 3G when compared with touch HD is HD has a built-in G sensor, this makes HD can compete with iPhone.

I am not sure, WinMo is something that doesn't appeal to everyone, most people prefer the likes of Nokia or the iPhone. MinMo is more attractive for geeks/people that need office on the move, and a lot of that audience will be attracted by the more powerful larger devices.
For me however I don't want to be carrying around a brick, the 3G is small, unobtrusive and does as much as I need as any WinMo device does.
Guys,
I appreciate, "you are doing wonderful job here".
I am planning to buy HTC HD2. But I am confused why i should buy it rather than an iphone. What are the benefits? As even we are not sure whether HTC would provide upgrade to Windows mobile 7 for this device.
I have been using HTC tytnII for last 2 years so I am familiar with windows OS. only issue is these OS are not upgradable. Like apple keep on issue OS upgrade for iphone users.
Isn't it bit problematic to have such a big screen without stylus?
From where can i get cheapest HD2 in UK?
Please guide me in right direction.
Thanks,
If there is nothing you would miss on iPhone, then I would not hesitate.
I would miss many things though.
Get the HD2 & have the support of XDA at the same time! If you read the threads in this Leo section, then it's a no brainer! Good luck.

It's less problematic than a smaller screen without a stylus (such as the iPhone).
Replacing HD with HD2?
I would like to hear from the experience of Previous HD(1) owners who had migrated to HD2. Is it really worth it? is it a major or a minor step ahead?
I'm asking that because currently I have no issue with my HD (WM 6.1), it is a very responsive PDA which serves most of my needs (phone, mail, messaging, web, video, slingplayer,fring, etc.)
Thanks

I have both and have been trying to decide the same thing for the last few days. My test was to use the HD2 for 24h, and then go back to the HD1.
I listed my HD1 on eBay this morning... #1 deciding factor? Capacitive. Closely followed by speed.

I totally agree. The screen itself is worth upgrading from the HD to the HD2! The speed is a welcome improvement, and the whole UI just seems a lot more rounded than previous versions.
I know a fair few people moan about HTC, and a lot of those moans are valid, but in my opinion they've really improved on the HD, as if that was almost a test for the HD2 which is the real thing.
Not knocking the HD - don't get me wrong. I loved that phone, but it's going in the post today, after selling it on eBay the other day.
I can't see myself wanting to upgrade this phone for a looooooooooooong time!

Reports vary from Q1 2010 to Q4 2010. The only consistency so far is 2010, so I wouldn't hold your breath for it.
Hehe, we are in the same shoes Next Monday I'm going to get a HD2, distributed in Vietnam. Although there are some problems being complained everywhere, but it's no doubt one of the hottest device this quarter. Let try and experience!
i've got a hd1, and thinking of upgrading to hd2
but my hd1 on uk orange is rubbish, and is a total pain.
i've discovered that orange has tweeked the rom so much it's not good.
so my question is, does UK Vodafone alter the rom, and is it supported by HTC unlike the orange hd?

I kind of have a similar question. I'm kind of on the brink of switching to the HD2 from my magic 32b. Basically the hardware specs make the HD2 a beast. I like android and have rooted my phone and am pretty much getting all I can out of it. I'm wondering if it's worth the switch to WinMo? I could really careless either way on the OS. I'm not really a fanboy of one or the other. If I do buy an HD2 I will load a custom ROM. What are the advantages of this? (I know there are many for Android Devices.) I just want to make an informed decision.
Thanks for all your help guys.

I made the switch from the E90 also (with a brief X1 stint in between) so if you have any comparison niggles, pm me.
Hi there,
I'm hoping for some advice from current phone users. I need to upgrade my dying Artemis. I'm deciding between the HD2 and Touch2 - because they're both WinMo phones (I know, I hate that, but I depend heavily on outlook and little baby won't give me the time or chance to change my ways).
Can people guide me as to why I should buy either phone (needs to be T-Mobile)
I need standard phone functionality, along with GPS/Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Wifi would be nice
Thanks
Both of them have the functions you are looking for.
If you plan to write emails on it and you have the budget for the HD2, which is way more expensive than the touch 2, you should go for the HD2, because the Touch 2, with the smaller screen presents more problems on text input.
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
I own a touch 2, but i played a lot on an HD2.
Best Regards.
I own both.
my Girlfriend has the touch2
I have the HD2
I prefer the HD2 because of the bigger screen, better resolution better camera, ...
but the touch2 is a fine device that can also do whatever is needed.
my girlfriend prefers the touch2. ironically also because of the size (she prefers smaller devices)
it all depends on:
*how much do you want to spend on it.
*how big are your hands ;-)
Do not buy Mega for its camera, it really suc!/;##ks, at least mine does ....
for some people the camera isn't important ;-)
If you are willing to spend the money on the hd2 then go for it. It is the highest end winmo device available, supplying everything winmo has to offer, including some new features such as multitouch. The touch2 is a midrange phone, but fully capable of everyday tasks, but is nowhere near the power and multimedia capabilities of the hd2.

looks good.
have you used this? how is its performance?
(dont trust the websites user feedbacks..)
Nope, I don't need one
I've been looking to buy a good stylus myself. Having done a bit of research, I have narrowed the choice down to Kensington Virtuoso. I haven't used it myself yet, but it seems to be getting the best reviews.
