288MB RAM

OMG~ Why can't do these sexy hot specs for Diamond? (I don't like the keyboard )

SE X1
this is the HTC version of the SE XPERIA X1, some of the specs are exactly the same, great device none the less

Hi
How big is resolution ?

is it just me or do all these photos look photo shopped? it seems like ive seen all these pics before as just the diamond...

why do the new devices from HTC use all VGA? Available software is mostly optimized for QVGA or am i wrong and all QVGA-Apps also work on this device

I know what PHone i want next now... lol...

when does this come to the US ???

it will probably be out in shops by mid summer
i noticed, sizewise, it's a little smaller than TyTN II
TyTN II is 112x59x19
Diamon Pro is 102x51x18
plus it weighs less: 165 gramms compared to tytn ii 190 g.

This is the perfect upgrade to my mogul

isnt this phone working on cdma only?
as far as I can remmber it is only cdma!
if not
I want 2

the problem is its VGA not QVGA

You guys know how this goes... This phone is a must for me, and as i saw it's kinda same for you. But i'm a poor little guy over here, someone should buy me one
I promise i will tell you how good it is... Mutually beneficial, isn't it?

EDIT: nvm.. changed my mind.. lol

i love the diamond and i was waiting for that but i like the qwerty think i'll go with this bad lad
thinks its only we t-mobile tho and their poo
i know voda is getting the diamond
have to wait and see

Which phone to replace my Universal

I have loved this phone but it is getting too tired and I need something up to date with more power and storage. Alas HTC don't seem to be doing anything comparable.
The latest Athena is too big for me and anyway no UK network seem to be providing it?
The Kaiser seems neat but the screen is too small, any thoughts anyone?
Jon

I have a Jasjar too but I dont think there is any replacement for it yet. Its a powerhouse truely meant for corporate people or the people who love to experiment.

Stick with JasJar (Uni, O2 Exec etc), give it a ROM upgrade, new body if you feel it looks too rough and enjoy. I know I am sticking with mine, especially considering I fully assembled it from parts, so now it's my baby in more ways than one

I hawe set the same question on another forum.
And the answer was the same.
No one has the will or space to carry Shift or Athena they are just too big.
Uni is the biggest thing i can wear in my pants expect my JoyStick offcourse.
I heard today that Htc is planning to release 10new devices this year so we can only hope there will be something like Universal Enchanced like they done whit Advantage.

I'm now using a T-mobile Vario III (Kaiser) as a replacement for my Exec and I'm very pleased with it. Yes the screen is smaller but it's improved clarity along with the general ease of use of the device means it's not too much of a disadvantage for me.
I'm still keeping my Exec though, it makes an excellent satnav and micro-laptop.

The only phone that can match the power and specs of the HTC Advantage X7510 & Athena as of now is the Samsung Omnia: http://samsungomnia.com/
You can check youtube for the videos and see how fast this baby works. Not to mention it supports DIVX and XVID movies out of the box, with a 5MP camera.
...

Since Samsung is contracted to make a phone that is quite similar to another phone the resemblance is uncanny isn't it?

Omnia have a latest PXA320 processor which default speed is up to 800 MHz, a 256 KB L2 cache, and a 32-bit DDR memory interface, that is more powerful with comparation of qualcomm bulls***s

how about my recommendation
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

The Sony Xperia is a solid, well designed phone, but one thing I noticed from watching all the videos of the demo use of the Xperia in youtube, IT IS REALLY VERY SLOW. So unless they can do something with the speed before it's release, they can't convince me to buy this phone.

wow...
its seem we got another friends from sony ericsson that hv window mobile as its os...

Hi - there's another discussion about this going on that's worth a read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378639

This could be a good option too
at least I like it much more than sony experia

Blackstone, here comes Firestone!

Hey fellas,considered getting an aussie Blackstone.then my evil side says checkout pdadb,up pops the Firestone 100!! says it will replace T8282.600mhz CPU w/1000 max overclock.10/09 release.crap, it isnt even spring!!! evil says 50 usd from wife to hidin spot.that aussie Black still looks good though!

i didn't even understand your post sorry.
As far as i can tell, the only major upgrade is the 8mp camera, other than that, the screen is downgraded. The processor is faster by about 80 Mhz but again, who cares. If they don't provide the drivers then it's wasted potential anyways.
Knowing the camera off the HD, i don't think anyone will care about the 8mp camera on the Firestone.

I have a HD and absolutely agree with Post # 2 above. Personally I will wait till WM 6.5 is out and I have seen actual user reviews and also compatibility of my existing programs with 6.5. By that time I am sure HTC would have come up with a model which I can call a real upgrade to the HD. Just my views

I'm really hoping for a Tegra successor to the Blackstone with the same screen size (I believe Blackstone hit the sweet spot, Toshiba TG01 is waaaay too big).
Before that arrives, I think I'm good with what I have.

The OP didn't make any sense.
But just FYI the Chip used is a SnapDragon clocked @ 600Mhz.

is this the firestone

I think is the YOTA model, which is only sold in Russia.

It is a WiMaX handset... nothing special about it
Processor -- Qualcomm ESM7206A clocked at 528MHz
Memory -- 288MB of RAM, 256MB ROM, and 8GB of flash storage
Display -- 3.6-inch touchscreen display with 800 x 480 resolution
Cameras -- 5 megapixel main camera with secondary VGA-resolution camera for videoconferencing
Wireless:
WAN -- Tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Yota Mobile WiMAX (2.5 to 2.7GHz)
WLAN -- 802.11b/g
PAN -- Bluetooth 2.0
GPS
FM receiver
Other I/O:
3.5mm headphone jack
miniUSB port
Video output (connector unspecified, but likely uses special dongle attaching to USB port)
Dimensions -- 4.46 x 2.48 x 0.54 inches (113.5 x 63.1 x 13.9mm)
Weight, with battery -- (151g)

HTC are shipping out to many phones to close to each other with no great improvement between them all.
Personally I would wait till WM 6.5 is released, let some cook do his thing then flash it onto your Blackstone. Why waste money on a new phone which isn't any better than the one you have!
Think I'll wait a while until something really special is released, until then I'm gonna sit on the blackstone!

Thatz the Quartz.
Firestone:
IMO, not that innovative. CPU and Camera upgrade, that's all.

HTC Hero/Lancaster

HTC's hipsteriffic invitations for a June 24th event in London contained precious few clues (DUDE'S WEARING A ROSE), but the Economic Daily News is now reporting something totally reasonable: it's for the Hero and Lancaster, HTC's presumed next Android phones.
Curiously, the paper refers to the two phones as one device, in two versions differentiated only by a keyboard.
The HTC Hero will be available in two versions, with and without a QWERTY keyboard. The model with a keyboard will be named HTC Memphis, or HTC Lancaster for sale by AT&T exclusively in the US for six months starting the third quarter, the paper indicated.
It certainly looks like there'll be a bit more than that to set the devices apart, and for the sake of variety, I hope there is. In any case, we'll be there. [Economic Daily News via Digitimes]

Looks like we won't be getting the Hero, or we have to wait until after the 6 months AT&T has it exclusively?

that phone is UGLY!! the mytouch 3g or what ever their calling it . looks way better

The version without the keyboard will probably be Hero, since the Lancaster is the one for AT&T.

how about this one?
http://ow.ly/b3EG

Anyone noticed that at least the Lancaster version has only a 240x320 display?
If this is also true for the HTC Hero version, it would be a clear disadvantage.

Confirmed X2 Pics....LAtest

X2
Nice pics...
But going by SE track record and add to that the lag in release of WM 6.5, I dont think this device will hit the shelfs before end 2009

Hardware doesn't seem to have changed much - just the design. Hmmmm..... I actually think the X1 looks better....
EDIT - From the other post concerning X2:
'According to insider:
-8.1mpx auto focus, VGA @ 30fps (MP4 HQ)
-3.5´ WVGA OLED (increased from 3.0 from X1)
-GPS, aGPS
-Accelerometer
-Faster processor
-512 RAM
-Custom Windows Mobile 6.5 (SE engineers customized Win6.5 which runs very. very speedy. in par with iphone and better in some cases)
-XPERIA Panels are modified with plenty of innovative features (PS3 remote play being one of them)
-Upgrading to Windows Mobile 7 is supported by Xperia panels'
But according to the above screenshot same processor???? Maybe I'm wrong but if the above is implemented then it should be good. design still looks crappy though IMHO....

Great info there. Thanks for sharing it.
By the looks of it... X1 is much better. But in terms of specs if what was stated is true then it'd be great, although I don't think many of us X1 owners now would feel the need to upgrade.
Looking at the keyboard's buttons... is that design supposed to give a better tactile feeling? hmm... I still prefer X1's current keyboard. Took some time to get used to it initially but heck... like it in the end.
Faster processor... well... with all those wonderful cooked roms we have here... guess the difference won't be that much compared to X1.
Oh well.. just my 0.02 opinion. Still love my X1...

With a little improvement from x1, i think almost all the x1 users will stick with their x1 because its not really what you call an upgrade this year.. But if they are saying that you can upgrade the OS to WM 7 we may think about it..

wats up with ur post saying 512mb ram and the phone saying 200(256mb) ram lol

In my opinion X2 really looks cheap. Its like poor sister of X1. I love design of X1.
Btw. check out the Panels button. There is no X anymore. And I would also miss softkeys.

gee...this is the 3rd thread about X2 on the first page already. How many more do we need? lol
