I think this will trully be my dream phone. I have an xperia atm, but I believe the Touch HD pro, will really be the best phone if it ever gets released. Anyone know of a release date for this, so that I can know when to sell my xperia?
They announced it, look at my thread below.

That is the touch pro2 I'm talking about the Touch HD pro, which is code named Rhodium on HTC's device roadmap which was leaked.
I know it isn't really reliable...but it will probably be released somewhere in Q3 from this year. does anybody know what the difference is between the Rhodium and the tungsten ? (exept the color )

Rhodium is a codename. Like Blackstone is the codename for Touch HD. Its 80% sure that Rhodium is Touch Pro 2 True Rhodium doesnt have the same back speaker as Touch Pro 2 but those are just mock ups. (look at Citrine/Topaz... They are Diamond 2)
Lets be reasonable here... For anyone who thinks that a slide qwerty keyboard mobile for MULTIMEDIA will come out, is out of his mind. The Qwerty phones are aimed for business users not casual users

So the xperia is a business phone? You couldn't be more obtuse.
Touch HD still doesn't have succesor Rhodium is new Touch Pro 2. Maybe Whitestone will be

Look at the data-sheet, they have different hardware inside.
Greetings
The XDA Orbit 2 is the equivalent to HTC Polaris / Touch Cruise on this forum not the Iolite / Touch Cruise 2.
Differences
The 2 models are quite different
The XDA Guide or as this forum calls it, the iolite has twice as much memory and a faster processor, 528 Meg
Also Called
O2 XDA Orbit 3
HTC Touch Cruise 2
HTC Touch Cruise 09
HTC Polaris 200
The O2 XDA Orbit 2 has only a 400 Meg processor
Also Called
HTC Touch Cruise
Dopod P860
Some of these alternately named phones have slightly different shells, but are basically the same internals
EDIT: (To clarify here, the 2 phones are definately 2 different phones, but the different styles of each of the phones, eg, HTC Touch Cruise and O2 XDA Orbit 2, which are the same phone, have slightly different shells )
I have an O2 XDA Guide and an O2 XDA Orbit 2
The guide is slightly smaller and faster with the software better put together
Both are VERY good phones
Differences
Here are the pics of the phones,
O2 XDA Orbit 2 is the larger one,
The Iolite or O2 XDA Guide is the smaller one
No chance, we cannot make, that these phones will be twince
I say it again:
different hardware = different phone
Maybe the same color, but devinitivly different phones.
Different phones = different OS
Maybe some apps are the same, but devinitivly different OS
Greetings
100% yes, after using the guide now for 24 hours,
There are many differences in the OS, the guide is far better even to a slider to answer calls, one way to answer, the other to ignore, well thought out.
The guide is also a lot faster, leaves the Orbit 2 for dead,
Really impressed with the guide and well worth the money
HTC Touch Cruise 09 Calibration Data Ineed please help.
I can not use my phone in few days, i need calibration data for this model
HTC Touch Cruise 09 or also called XDA Orbit II. Please somebody help
Im waiting for a while now for a followup of my Touch HD..
I want a phone that is faster AND have a keyboard.. are there any rumours about such a phone yet? i can't find em and i can renew my subscription with a new phone soon..
The Nokia N900 should fit the bill perfectly. The screen is already much much better than on the Touch HD.

It looks like a nice device. The question remains, Is the OS worth it? i was actually looking for an android device (mainly because of it's app store)
Any more upcoming devices like this?
Well, I don't think it's going to have a keyboard, but the HTC Touch HD 2 should definitely be faster, and it willl run Android based on the rumors...
Nokia's a piece of junk! you can have your horrible Symbian UI!
Why start another of these topics? on the first page at the time of this post theres already two of exactly the same genre!
Sorry to say ,but you're missinformed:N900 is powered by Maemo,based an opensource linux,not symbian.
For more info,take a look at _www.maemo.org

I just thought that posting this topic would help those people looking for information on this soon to be released phone by Verizon (perhaps Sprint will release thier version too).
I'm sure that this subforum will be very busy soon and this is just a beacon for people to find their way.
I'm not so sure it's the Touch Diamond 2 after reading this lol. Seems we need to rally for our own forum and get out of the Topaz forums hahah.
Review: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Imagio-XV6975-Review-review-r_2280.html
One of the more successful smartphones for Verizon over the past year has been the HTC Touch Diamond. We were hoping to see a Verizon release of the Touch Diamond2 later this year, but it appears that the HTC Imagio XV6975 will take the place of the original model. The Imagio is similar to the Touch Diamond2; however it has grown in size in order to add a bigger screen.

Since the HTC Imagio is not part of the Diamond series, it loses the uniquely designed diamond-cut back that we’ve come to love. Instead the Imagio has a 2-tone back plate...

Either way, can't wait til the forums get rolling with Imagio-specific tweaks and stuff!
Topaz is not the Whitestone. We need a Whitestone section soon. =)
I agree, we need a separate Whitestone Imagio forum
...and move the threads under Topaz CDMA to the Whitestone forum
oh who cares what it's called? the signed ROM is out:

We need a whitestone/Imagio forum.

I'm trying to buy a case and some screen protectors for my soon-to-arrive Verizon (CDMA) Imagio. Amazon has nothing for "imagio" but does have stuff for "HTC touch diamond2" - is that the same thing?!?

No. The TD2 is codenamed Topaz. (see AT&T Pure) The Imagio is a derivative of the TD2 with a larger screen and such, codenamed Whitestone. Due to it's larger size, stuff like cases will likely not work from TD2s.
There is a belt clip on Verizon's website that I just ordered today for my brand new Imagio; just search for accessories under the HTC Imagio there. I did find custom screen protectors by searching on Bing.com. The clip should be in tomorrow and I'll post a 'review' but I haven't had trouble with Verizon's after market holsters.

The Imagio is a derivative of the Touch HD! It is NOT a topaz, there are fundemental differences from the Topaz!

It was a link from bing actually to e-bay. Here ya' go:

I got the single one as had good luck with this one on my Mogul. Hasn't come in yet but I'll let you know...
Ok, got the aftermarket holster from Verizon and it fits great, feels solid, and costs $19.95. Part number was VZW6975HOL and is rubberized plastic. I'll post back after I get the screen protector in.

Notice I did not say it was the same as Topaz and called it Whitestone. I said it had similar internals to a Topaz but has a bigger screen. If I recall doesn't the HD have a MSM72xx CPU and the Imagio has a MSM76xx? Both running at 528MHz however.
Looks like PPCgeeks moved the Imagio threads from the Diamond 2 forum to a new Imagio Forum.
yeh they did...now we gotta get XDA to do the same...
A mod already shot that down under the general discussion forum. I don't understand why as they are not the same device as stated. I guess too much work to add it or something. I can't imagine a new user to this site looking for info on their Imagio would ever check the Diamond 2 forum instinctively...

as a new user specifically looking for "whitestone" information, i agree.
after a quick search i was directed here, but was a bit surprised to see it didn't have it's own section.
Also surprised to see Whitestone without its own forum, although I had to try and figure out what the codename was. Shows you how much I know.
I remember reading somewhere that when the spy photos came out last February or March even HTC said "Whitestone not a Topaz" next to the photo or in the summary. In a forum where master brains will spend countless hours reworking roms from other phones, it can't take that much time to start a new forum. Hopefully the mods will come around before this forum really gets rocking!
Maybe we should see if we can be placed in with the Blackstone folks - after all, aren't the Whitestone and Blackstone virtually identical?
Goodday everybody,
I'm consider to buy the HTC HD2 or SE X2.
I have all ready the X1, what i most like is the keyboard.
Can you guy's tell me what the best choice is to buy!?
Greetings,
Rob
If you like a physical keyboard then why are you even considering an HD2? Stick with your X1, or buy a Touch Pro2, or consider a Samsung OmniaPRO B7610.
Thanks for the reply!
Yep you are true, but the X1 has for me to many faults in it.

Fully agree. I would go for the Samsung.
The X2 is and X1 with an "improved" camera and an upgrade to 6.5. Rest assured that all the faults you got in the X1 are gonna crop up in the X2. Look elsewhere.
I thought I was going to miss the keyboard too, but heck not at all.
Aren't you interested Motorola MILESTONE?
Thanks for all the reply's
I'm reading allot, but don't know jet, and the Motorola MILESTONE doesn't come to the Netherlands
I like the comparing with the Iphone but the X2 isn't compare with anyone.
Greets,
Rob
I moved from Xperia X1 to HTC-HD2
Keyboard on the big HD2 screen is good for me (but 1 year ago the keyboard of the X1 was one big reason to go for the X1)
I want to stick with the xda support

I made the switch from x1 to HD2, id say go with the HD2! the x2 uses similar hardware to x1 which feels so slow and laggy compared to the HD2, sure you lose the hardware keyboard but it wasnt perfect to begin with and id usually pop the stylus out rather then slide the keyboard out because the rotation switch felt too slow
Here's a side by side: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=1932&id2=1783
my friend
the X2 have the same SLOW CPU as the HTC DIAMOND
the X2 is a X1 with only some improvment
go for the samsung omniaPRO B7610
dont even think about the htc touch pro 2 its slow
i mean really slow cause of that CRAP processor
If you absolutely need a keyboard: Get the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610.
If you can live without a keyboard: Get the HTC HD2.
Do NOT buy the X2. It's got the same old, awfully slow processor that has been annoying us for years now. You seriously shouldn't spend money for a device based on that crappy Qualcomm MSM7xxx chipset.
If the keyboard is important to you I'd imagine you'd get annoyed with the HD2 pretty quickly, but it may be worth trying it out for the many other benefits, as if you don't like it, stick it on Ebay and you'll be able to get a Pro2 / Omnia pro / X2 / Milestone for the same money you get from the HD2 sale!
I've got a Pro2, and would highly recommend it if Keyboard is high on your priority list. As far as I know it's the best keyboard on a phone right now, and has the tilting screen too. I think I would miss it too much to get the HD2, but would not be against trying (About a year ago I tried an HD then loved the move back to my trusty Kaiser).
Also I doubt the X2 would be slow; contrary to the two posts above, the Pro2 is not slow. While clearly not as fast as an HD2, it's simply untrue to say the Pro2 is slow for general use. A snapdragon won't help an HD2 user type faster & more accurately than a Pro2 user
