Now that sounds cruel, be nice, and anyway it's not what we need that matters, none of us need ANY of these devices or virtually any fancy technology. We just WANT them and we want them NOW.
I bet sectorlord even has a pet name for the old Universal. Here Snookams Daddy's going on a trip and you're invited just don't let Hermes see me sneak you into this Laptop Case - there you are now fits like a glove!!!!

I have a Jornada 720 Handheld PC which is about 6 years old and I still use it even though I have new devices. I nearly always take it on trips I can't explain why but I do.

Really sad attempt to bilk people of their hard earned money. If you want your WM6 Device to look like an iphone just search this forum. I mean really it's not that hard.
ha! i laugh at the idiot who pays for it, its actually just some theme for wisbar advance, I bet somewhere along the lines, someone took A_C's S2U2 and converted it for themselves
hidiot.......
Most of that material is someone else's work.
The sad thing is, that many people will end up buying it.
Specially those that dont know about XDA DEVs
Why do people want their phone to look like an Iphone? Its like buying a lexus and modding/painting it to look like a BMW.
its more like buying a honda civic and trying to make it look like a toyota supra! lol!
its more like buying a car and wishing it were a bike.

Its sad that from here on out every single phone will try to be like the iphone. Wouldnt that just make people want an iphone more? This has all been done before with this phone called Iphone® made by a company called Apple® you should check it out.... this Diamond Touch is nothing that hasnt been done before.

Actually, I think the iPhone took a lot from older HTC phones and put it in their own package.
awww get off his back
he said nothing offensive...nor did he put anyone or anything "down"....just stated his opinion...to which he is entitled....that said...I agree that the apple more or less tends to miss quite a bit of what a ppc can do....even after it goes 3g there will be much to be desired.....just my opinion

I understand what you are talking. In my opinion, Iphone also trying to be more like windows. Apple tried very hard to add Microsoft office into their phone. And they also start to open their app to 3rd party (windows had done it long time ago). I think that each phone is trying to add as much as ability they can to become the most powerful phone. It is hard to say which phone copy which phone.
i think we shouldnt start the old iphone discussion again, but:
The iphone was more innovative than any other phone. Appel was the first that realised that mobile Internet will be the future.
But i wont even buy a iphone, okay
But what the hell did htc with windows mobile, its unbelievable and great, so please hack that **** and make me cab or buy me a Diamond
oh i forgot, make some drivers for mit touchcruise too, because i cant wait 1 hour for reading a email

Holy crap! Apple invented mobile internet!!
IMO....
I don't think it wants to be an iPhone but an iPhone killer. Personally I (for the first time) skipped a generation and didn't get a Kaiser upgrade from my Hermes (AT&T branded) as it didn't seem as impressive as the upgrade from my Wizard to the Hermes... actually my Wizard from the Blue Angel was the most impressive jump, then I met Jose Faria ...
The HTC Raphael (Diamond with a keyboard) is definitely worth the wait I believe.
As for the iPhone, big deal. To me it's just an iPod that can phone home. The browser IS nice but that's about it. As a phone it sucks. Edge sucks. No DirectPush email sucks (so what that it'll be available in June or so they say) And the lack of a real keyboard.... SUCKS! Very few people I know are really happy with their iPhones, but then that's probably just the crowd I hang with...
Just my two cents ...

simply no
their have been a handful of phones that try to imitate iphone... but the majority that dont far outway the majority that do...
simply put i think users want to imitate the iphone more so than the companies
Personally I believe discussing which phone is best, without specifying your needs, is pointless because it's all due to perspective. However, as far as "comapny's and people trying to imitate." Thank god they are! That's the type of competitive marketing that brings new ideas and technology. Hell, that's why the iPhone is here. So please stop complaining "Th3yr try1ng t0 b3 li3k if0ne!" because after all, the PS3 is just trying to be like Atari!
That being said, I am more interested in the Raphael than the Diamond. I wasn't impressed with trying to use the OEM keyboard on the Touch, so unless they fix that, I'm loving my QWERTY. Although, if they fix it, it WOULD be nice to be able to type single-handedly..
I have the option from T-Mobile to get the G1 for $150. This is to replace my HTC Wizard that I currently have.
Here's my questions.
#1 Are there working N64, PSX, Gensis, SNES, and Nes emulators on this?
#2 Is the App Store required to install software on the phone?
#3 How's the port of Quake 3, 2, 1 on it?
#4 What's the coolest thing you've seen it do?

For #1 & #4 Look at this webpage. I can't live without navigation, this phone just makes it easier
#2 No, you can do it through SDcard or USB. Most of them will have the market(app store) on pre installed though.
#3 Quake 1 has been released, very playable.
And regarding the coolness factor:
I just got it managed to install debian with bluediving and metasploit on it.
Now I have a portable BT-sniffing-and-hacking-machine.
At least imho this is quite nice

Haha, just as I read your post the new iPhone ad came on "This is the new iPhone. It can do some pretty amazing things, like copy and paste!" My God!
Yeah they are everywhere, everyone has one, I don't want a phone that everyone else has...
No idea why so many people are angry. I'm not here to make fun of the G1.
The phone to me is superior to the iPhone. Apple has too much control of the app store. So much so that it caused this very person to fire bullets at his 3GS. Not to forget that this phone has a qwerty keyboard and some external buttons.
My concern is over software. I've seen a video of Quake 1 running on it very slowly, and I can't seem to find any ports of N64, PSX, Quake 2/3. I've heard that some people say it's because code is written as Java?
The price is also right. I just don't wanna go buy the phone and find out 1 year later a G2 is released, when the above mentioned applications are finally written and running full speed.
I just switched from touch pro 2 and let me tell you... There is no comparison. I had TP2 for a year and almost everytime I had to do something fast, look something up or do somehing more complicated than calling - it would fail me. It led to a constant feeling of doubt and being unsure if it will just freeze when I need it the most.
N1 is freaking fast. Everything on it JUST WORKS. There is no guessing, like on TP2 - "omg I hope this launches.. I hope I don't have to soft reset.." - everything is integrated, every transition happens in a snap, every task you throw at it is handled immediatly and with style. It's a reliable life partner.
If you are undecided like I was a week ago about switching to N1, do it - you'll wish u've done it sooner.
Android FTW.

Yes, I was pretty undecided up until now. I have a SE X1 and really, I know what you're talking about when you mention "doubt". I just hate the thing and WM makes it a nightmare. When I got my X1 I was thinking of keeping the phone for a long time, I wasn't expecting a $900 phone to turn out to be complete crap both hardware wise (flimsy, crappy keyboard, crappy paint, etc.) and software wise (WM!!!). Hopefully, I can use the N1 for a longer time with the updates and all...
I guess I'll be getting it now for sure, the only thing left to decide is whether or not it's worth it to wait the extra time to have it engraved...ha!

And to fill that final need.......

Dude, be VERY careful about the engraving.
Read the warranty policy - if you engrave it, it becomes a non-refundable phone that can only be sent in for repairs, if needed. Also, think if you'll want to sell it in a year or two.. nobody wants your "My name is John and I have a 12" tool" engraving.
Not that it's a bad service, just make sure you consider that.

I'm thinking that if I do want some "engraving" on it, I could get away with a transparent acid-sticker of a sort.. at least that I can remove and sell/return if need arises.
Although only death can separate me form my N1 at this point.
If Adobe would hurry and release the fully gpu accelerated flash player for this phone, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Seriously! The ipad / iphone guys are crying so hard about wanting html 5 everywhere because they're not allowed to have flash.. I worry that Adobe's missed the boat on this one.
Not a single developer leaking the gpu flash 10 player for android either..
