first of all, sorry if i'm posting something that has been discussed before. the search function didn't prop anything useful, and as you can see i am a user of this forum.
if this has already been discussed, please give me a link of the topic.
my obvious question is if it is worth it to buy the diamond2 instead of putting its software on the original diamond. besides that, how is the better hardware working ? especially the gps chip ? same problems ?
any thoughts are much appreciated. thanks
What can I say... Diamond 2 is better on every aspect compared to the Diamond. I still got my old Diamond and I just started it up and it felt so bad using it if I compare to the D2.
To sum up everything: D2 is BETTER.
it would be strange to be otherwise. I mean, it's Diamond 2 sooo, tehnically, it comes as an upgrade. It would be strange to be a worse phone. Diamond 2 comes with some solutions to problems in D1.
The GPS is okay, after you have downloaded quickGPS, the connection is within seconds (4-5). I'd use iGo with GPS, it's great. Audio is good, many features. Any more questions? Cheers!!!
I had the Diamond for some days and I hated it. The screen is to small for such a device for my POW. The design is also ugly compared to TD2 (my pow again). I actually only got the TD2 because it was cheap and my plan was to sell it again. But I ended up keeping it. I think it's a great phone but battery life could be better.. GPS is working flawlessly tomtom with no probs what so ever
I used the Diamond for over a year.. it was a great phone however it always felt slightly slow, now on the diamond 2 (which i have now) the specs are very similar however the phone feels much much better!
On the diamond I was flashing roms every couple of days, never satisfied.
On the diamond 2 im sitting on the stock rom!!! ..go figure! Fantastic phone.
There was a dust under the screen issue with D2. Any of you owners still experience it or did HTC correct the problem?

I have not experienced any dust under my screen yet.
u can find pretty nice overview of both over here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=2368&idPhone2=2689
btw d2 ownz))im just so happy for it...
Diamond 2 is much better than Diamond in every aspect. But HTC has announced lots of new phones, Touch Pro 2, HD 2. These are all the nice device comparing with Diamond 2. And the HTC LEO will be announced soon. I believe it'll be a great device.
HTC LEO is one gigantic device. I love what it can do but you need a breefcase to carry it around....might as well just carry a netbook.

Yeah, HTC announces phones larger and larger. At first HD is large enough and a little bit larger for porket. Now they announced LEO.....Anyway if the phone is really top device, the size doesn't matter.
I switched from the diamond to the diamond2, and until now i regret it!
Maybe technically the d2's pecs are far more better than the original, but i've had a lot of problems with it. Freezes a lot of times (T-mobile stock rom), and the promised improved battery life is still bad (charge every 3 days, with normal use).
The worst part are the look and feel of the td2. Compared to the original i now have a brick in my pocket, the original was so much slimmer than this one! The t-mobile design is that bad that i can't use any car kit because t-moile decided to use a cap in front of the usb-port.
thanks for the replies guys. especially yours hellboy1970. it was clear that the d2 would be better than the d1 in the usual aspects - hardware, battery life, minor fixes, etc. but what i was asking was if it is actually worth it switching .. i mean, the differences between a customized diamond with all the apps and roms and all that and a, so far, stock d2.
of course the d2 will eventually receive more interest than the d1, and i'll switch too by that time, but right now, money wise and all that.
anyway, thanks. i'm thinking of keeping my d1 until d2 lowers its price a bit
Diamond 1 it's a joke compared to D2...
I just flashed the D2 ROM (AZTOR) to my D1 and i'm really fascinated about what a software can do with a device. First i had O2 SW, then some custom ROMs, then original HTC and now this D2 Rom. It's ingenious.
I see the only real disadvantage of the D1 in the "small" display.
I don't care about my GPS taking 3 mins to find a satellite - i usually know at least the direction where i want to go.
So in my eyes, the D2 is a good and certainly better device, but if you own a D1 it's just not worth switching.

No problem. With frequent use, I am sure it will break off and the T-Mobile will be just like the HTC
Hey all,
I know everyone here is a Hero user probably. I'm a current HTC Touch Pro user and wanted to switch to the HTC Hero. However, today the Samsung Moment was announced and hardware wise it seems to be everything I wanted from the Hero...but without the software (HTC Sense). I'm very familiar with the HTC interface through Touch Pro rom hacks/upgrades and would want the Sense UI on the Moment (and am assuming it may be possible but only through Rom flashes not just an apk install). Anyway, what other reasons would you all say its worth just getting the Hero? Or should I just wait the extra 3 weeks and get the Moment? Ugh, so frustrating...thanks!
Always have faith in the people here at XDA
That said you have 30 days to exchange......

Except that the Samsung phone might never "feature" here as it's not an HTC device!

I also reached this dilemma, but have decided to purchase the Hero when it comes out on sunday, and if I dislike it, I'll have the 30 days to use it then trade it for the Moment. I too would desire the sense UI on the Moment, and also I haven't read anywhere if the Moment's screen is capacitive or not.
I'm pretty sure both the Hero and the Moment have capacitive screens.
I'm in the same boat as you -- currently using a Touch Pro and extremely sick of Windows Mobile. Is Sense UI a bigger improvement over the standard Android interface than, say TouchFlo is over Titanium? Because I'm fine with Titanium. I actually prefer that it's so much snappier than TF3D.
Also, does XDA ever support non-HTC phones? Will there ever be roms for the Moment? It just seems like a far better choice than the Hero, hardware-wise.
Awesome, if it's capacitive, I am definitely getting it.
I like the Sense UI because of the widgets and customizing aspect of it, easy access to twitter, facebook, contacts, etc...
But I will sacrifice it for better hardware
Capactive yes, but I have yet to read if it supports multi touch. Thats the screen factor I'm most interested in. This makes for much better on screen typing. The on screen keyboard is pretty good in landscape, so I'll live without the qwerty. It's one more mechanical system to fail as well.
From what I've seen the HTC interface on Andoid does not cause much lag as opposed to TF3D does to winmo. I came from a touch diamond to the touch to run the android port and it's sick, even stripped down android is better than winmo imo.
I pre-ordered the hero from Best Buy and am a rewards zone member, so I get to pick mine up tomorrow (they have them in tonight ) Reading that post on the Moment introduction gave me second thoughts, but the phone prior to the Diamond was an Instinct, leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
So which phone does everybody think they will mod the most...?..The Hero since its HTC or the Moment...I do like the physical keyboard on the Moment, but I will be picking my Hero up tomorrow..I am so confused...I hate it..LoL..
Although I'm HTC all the way, I have to say, Samsung has them beat in every category really in my playbook. Yes the 5MP on the Hero is better and the device is more pocketable (plus of course Sense which brought up this original dillemma) but I have to wonder, aren't most of the sense widgets (except say the dialer and the contact interface) just simple .APK files that I can put on the Moment if I go that route? I must say though, I think a phone's software is what makes the hardware shine. That being said, a lot of great hardware implemented the wrong way could lead to a fast but not so useful device. The dillemma is killing me but gladly I do have a Touch Pro, so I can live with a custom rom until Nov comes around and maybe even Dec so I can see the progress of porting the Hero's sw.
for me the question is 800 mhz and qwerty....oorrrr.....htc sense...i reallllly love sense...like alot alot it works great on my magic..but man 800mhz cpu is gonna be really great for flash content and emulators and hopefully somebody starts making a psx emulator for android
...but then again im pretty sure someone is going to port sense to the samsung if the brilliant developers here are able to port moto blur to g1s and magic
I'm in the same boat. I've been planning on getting the Hero since hearing it would be available on Sprint, but just saw the details of the Moment today and it gave me reason to reevaluate.
I prefer the Hero in every way except for the faster processor and the camera flash of the Moment. The OLED screen is a wash because although the picture is better, I've heard the transflective LCD screens are easier to read in direct sun, which is an important feature for me. I don't have an opinion on the trackpad vs trackball. And I think I'm in the minority because I'd rather not have the physical keyboard if it means any additional bulk. I also like what I've heard in the Hero reviews of the build quality and solid feel, while the first hands-on reports of the Moment comment that it feels "plastic-y" and a little cheaper. I've been pleased with the quality of the HTC phones I've had in the past and I think their support is pretty good too as far as getting updates out for their devices. Never dealt with Samsung before.
So, I'm still planning on sticking with the Hero and hopefully will have it in the next few days.
Ehh, if I was a keyboard junkie I'd go for the Moment. But I'm not; haven't had a hardware keyboard since 2007. I will be picking my Hero up tomorrow though.
It's good to see I'm not the only perturbed by this. Until yesterday, I was ready to wait until December for something bigger and better to come along. To prepare, I decided to figure out how much something like the TP2 would cost me. Even with full upgrade credit, I'd have to dish out $350 to get it.
The problem for me is that I'm waiting for something even higher-end (Android, i.e. 1Ghz + VGA+ resolution) than the TP2, so now I'm considering lowering my expectations and going for either the Hero or the Moment.
My problem with both phones is that the resolution (320x480). Why couldn't they have at least VGA like the TP!?
I have the hero and prefer SenseUI over standard Android (gf has the g1). The faster processor on the moment is a nice touch but I find the Hero's speed to suffice for my needs. Plus I love all the HTC widgets that don't come with standard Android..e.g. Peep, weather, etc. I think the next worthy upgrade is the HTC Dragon and the release date on that one is anyone's guess.
I have the same dilemma myself. I prefer the smaller size and virtual keyboard of the Hero as well as the sense ui.
The Moment's 800MHz processor will probably help with future Android enhancements which is important, since I will be with either the Hero or Moment for the next 2 years.
The Moment's camera is also most likely superior to the Hero's given Samsung's track record of decent optics. The Hero may have 5 MP, but every review says that its quality is only mediocre. Samsung phones have generally been very good despite lower resolutions. Since most of the time all my pictures are scaled down anyway, and neither of these are digital camera replacements, I would call the 5 MP/3 MP difference moot.
Also, it appears that the Moment may have better battery life judging purely from estimated talk time.
The camera and battery performance need to be verified though, so it looks like we will have to wait for a proper review.
It's a tough choice. While I would prefer HTC's sense ui, I really don't mind Android's vanilla interface either so it's more of a virtual keyboard/size/battery life issue for me.
If I know XDA well enough they'll be able to extract the Sense UI pretty quickly. Further, I could see rom cooks build this into future custom roms on the Samsung Moment.
Call me advantageous coming from a Touch Pro scene. I have complete faith in custom roms as they have provided real value to the TP with innovation pushing the scene.
After living with a slide out keyboard I find it much more reliable than a touch screen. So I'll be going with the Moment (unless another awesome device is released!)
I too am in the same boat as the others. With the announcement of the moment I am now puzzled at what route to go. I really would like SenseUI and have it natively built for my device like on the hero but im certainly a keyboard junkie. I will have to get both in my hand for a bit to be able to decide. If the build quality of the moment feels anything like the pre ill be off to the hero in a heartbeat.
Buy the Hero now, it'll be that much quicker till your contract expires and you can buy the Dragon in a year (18 months if not a premier customer)...
$.02

The res may be smaller than the Touch Pro, ( which I just switched from ) but the screen is bigger, and it really looks just fine. I have an easier time reading the web with the Hero than I did with my TP. I wasn't really sure I could deal with a non-hardware keyboard, but am finding myself doing just fine with it. That said, November 1st and the Moment are less than 30 days away, and I don't think we've seen all the specs on the Moment, I'm looking forward to some of the Phone review websites getting their hands on one to see what they think. I imagine that someone somewhere will find a way to pull Sense out of the Hero, so it can be installed on other Android phones.
Doesn't the Samsung only have 256mb of RAM to the Hero's 288? That could be a dealbreaker.
So its my time to upgrade with AT&T, and I was dead set on getting a new Android phone from them. They currently only have the Moto back-flip, which I will pass on. Instead of waiting to see what HTC will announce what Android phone they will release, (not counting the Nexus One, too expensive!) I noticed that they have the Pure for only a $.01 to upgrade. Now I will be up grading from a Samsung Blackjack II, so I am used to Windows mobile (stuck at 6.1), I was just hoping for some pros or cons about the phone. Thx
My Pure has been a pleasant surprise..I previously have had 3 HTC wm devices. I found I do not miss the slideout keyboard. Personally, I like both wm 6.5 and the Pure. Device has been very stable, only one Hard Reset, but that was due to a crappy download that locked my device. GO FOR IT.
I think you should depending on what you want or used to. The pure is a well built phone with a very responsive screen, i moved from a AT&T FUZE recently. I can tell you that the phone has all the features you are used to as a winmo user but other than that not much new. You will definitely will want to update the OS and new manilla sense with custom roms to make it more usable.
cons like-
Housing makes phone a finger print magnet- wish at&t would have used metal housing of touch diamond 2 instead.
No flash for camera
Even though zoom bar seems ideal, it inst implemented good enough and used alot by me.
Still no 3.5 audio jack
No physical keyboard-though makes phone thiner-makes typing a hassle at times
Pros-
Keyboard/can be cuztomized by other keyboards like Sw*pe, and ect.
Nice 3.2 inch display
5 mega pixel camera
Gps works better than expected
Quick charging times
Side speaker- since the rear speaker is placed on the side-works much nicer and clearer this way
this are just a few things that i have noticed. Hope it helps.
Thank you jdwilson and alexisprz for you advise. I ordered the phones this morning and I'm sure I'll be pleased. From what you both told me and the reviews, comments I've read, the pro's out-way the con's (ie. no flash, no 3.5mm jack) are not a huge deal too me. Once again thx, I look forward to playing around with my new toy soon!
i'm in the market to upgrade my phone and i'm torn between the two. if you had to pick between the 2, which would you chose?
it really depends on what features you want. hardware keyboard or not? do you care about the phone specs? um stuff like that. i personally like having a physical keyboard so i say the mytouch slide. read some reviews and try to get some hands on the products. they can both do the same things, since its all android, up to you what extra features and such you want.
I have been weighing this same question. Frankly, I have a laptop, a netbook, and a desktop that all have 2ghz+ processors. If i need a 1ghz or better processor, i'll probably need to boot one one them up to do the task. Higher specs such as the 1ghz processor etc = less batt life. As I have read here people are seeing 5+ more hours of Standby/Talk time out of the MT3g Slide then the nexus. Battery life is everything to me. I want a phone that will last 10+ hours on light to medium usage. I want a phone that isn't sold on bells and whistles, but on what a phone actually needs. Battery life, Stability, durability, etc..
TL;DR - MT3g Slide looks more value dollar for dollar then the Nexus. If you have 528 to spend on a phone that kinda wants to be a tablet PC or a netbook. Just buy one of those and call it good.

keyboard, fastest gpu

Wait until Froyo comes out for the slide then ask that question from what I hear its coming pretty soon and for all mytouches not just slide.
Im glad other people agree with me about this being better than the n1, also it should be taken into account that if this phone is anything like the other htc android phones its underclocked the original clock speed of the n1 is only 768 mhz so rooting should do alot for this phone
I personally like the slide a LITTLE bit better just for personal preferences. I used the N1 and loved it! It saved me from my WM past and I have not looked back. I finally got used to not having a keyboard once I installed swype on my N1 (without it is very frustrating for me). But it still sucked to type a long email or something. I now use the MTslide and I like and use regularly some of the added features:
Physical Keyboard (although I use touchscreen a lot since swype works so well)
My Modes (is awesome for me, not for everyone)
Genius Button (about 1/2 of my texts are voice so it makes this very simple)
I have not noticed any difference in performance. when I kill my apps I still have 225MB available or so with several apps installed. the N1 with froyo had a little more but there has been no difference in performance.
With Froyo coming soon and possible root soon I would go with the MTslide over the N1 at this time.
Nexus One, hands down. Granted I have not run a full diagnostic with numbers and stats and whatever, but I have used both for an entire week day under very similar conditions and here is what I found...
Software
Nexus One: I am a developer and love to mess with my phone. So far, this isn't possible with the MyTouch Slide and the second it is, I will remove the ridiculous ROM they have on it because its pure crap! Hello confetti theme. Something are T-Mobile Sense blue, others HTC Sense green and the rest is covered by your "theme". Its all over the place.
Hardware
Tied: Hardware keyboard is nice, touchpad and camera button are nice on the Slide but overall build quality feels cheap, though I will say the slide out mechanism feels like it will last years. For the Nexus I really like bigger screen/higher resolution, soft buttons and slim profile. For storage, Slide at 8gb
Performance
Tied: Even though specs show the two to be very different, both feel snappy but you can feel the Nexus' speed in games and multimedia applications. Reception is same, call quality goes to Slide and battery life goes to Nexus. Nexus wins camera for responsiveness and ease of switching between still and video
Overall feel
Nexus One: I have grown accustom to its slight tacky grip where as the slide feels like a wet bar of soap at times. Haven't dropped either yet, but I imagine the slide is the first to go down.
I went for the white Slide since it looked slick in the pictures/videos online, but in person it looks cheap.
And in closing I just have to say I like a stock Android build. If the Slide ever get its, it would probably tie it up. For the price at $479 vs. the nexus at $529(?) I'd go Nexus
I just noticed khtims' sig
Nexus One (I love android now)

With Android being so much better than WM I think any android device would have turned my head. I am very impressed though with both the N1 and the MTslide. It is a hard choice for me.
I came from having 2 hd2's (I thought the bug with mms sending and crashing was just the phone I had, nope - sense) and I prior to that I had my g1. Having said that, I would hands down choose my slow, tiny g1 over the hd2. It felt great albeit super thin (I like thin but it felt almost too much so) The OS itself had so many bugs I can't even compare it to the android's os on my g1 and I think I only had cupcake on it. Having a keyboard will be a plus and I think the processor is at a 600 mhz speed which is marginally better than the g1 but still on an android device ='s win.
Question:
I had the HD2 until my neighbor dropped it in the pool the night before last (yes, I tried all the tricks to dry it out). It's dead.
He's gonna' replace it. So money isn't the issue (tho' the slide would save him about $20). I've had the HD2 since it was released two months ago, and had a g1 before that. So I'm familiar with both phones and OS's.
Question:
Should I get another HD2 or go with the Slide?
I know that specs on the HD2 kick-booty, but I really don't care for the Windows Mobile as the backbone behind Sense. The WM selection of apps/games is really poor and it seems like an OS gasping for life with little support from Microsoft.
If you were me.........?
slideeee!!! got mine yesterday, been a die hard mt3g user since it came out, rooted it and all... until my sd card slot decided to magically not work anymore yesterday, and i had to get a different solution. Loving the slide, think it'll be my favorite for years, and hopefully within the week it gets rooted ^^
I think the HD2 is a superior piece of hardware all around. I do not like WinMo and will not use a WinMo phone. I was hoping someone would be able to run the HD2 with root and Android but that seems quite a way off. As for the Slide (Espresso) phone; I am returning the 2 I've purchased because they are collecting dust under the screen. Man am I upset about it because I really liked the performance and setup of the phone. I would wait to check out a Samsung Galaxy S that will run Android but I'm extremely skeptical of Samsung's products and support for their devices. Looks like I will be using my rooted G1 for some time to come. I'm actually considering leaving Tmo due to the superior HTC devices available on other carriers. Honestly I say save your money and wait for a proper HTC Android device to be released. I have spoken to several people who own the Slides and the dust issue is happening to them as well.
The slide hands down. My wife had the hd2 for about a week and took it back. She didn't like the battery life, keyboard cause it would miss type a lot even after calibration. And it might be me but I have heard all those 4.3 screen phones have had poor battery life. If u loved ur g1then u will love the slide. I get around 12hrs of use out of it a day and I'm a heavy user I'm always online. If anything buy a slide try it for a few days and see if u like.

I had the HD2 as well. I wanted to love it, I really did, but coming from a rooted G1, it just didn't work as well. WinMo was terrible, but the quality of the HD2 hardware was great. If it had another OS on it, it could've been a great phone. I returned it a few days later. I recently bought the slide and I absolutely love it. It's a great, slick phone, and I love the keyboard. It doesn't hurt that it's ridiculously fast and also has some graphics muscle as well
Slide and HD2 are 2 very different beasts. First thing you have to think of is what APPs you plan to run on it. Sorry to point it out but HD2 uses WinMo and the Slide (I'm sure you know by now) is Linux based. I would suggest look at the forums or do some research. Check the Apps section as to what would benefit you and what wouldn't. I use the HD2 for work due to applications I use that isn't supported by ANDROID yet. And then there's WinMo 6 that is fading away. But that's what XDA is for D), hats off to the CHEFS and DEVS. They are both wonderful phones except for some quality control issues that has been brought up lately. Don't worry almost all phones has this. Also don't go purchasing the HD2 again thinking that Linux would be running on it pretty soon. Reality is it might take a long time for this to happen. Use the Touch Pro 2 as an example, they are able to run Linux on it but not the complete functionality of the phone is there yet. Just use your BUYER's REMORSE period wisely.
Good Luck in your endeavor.
i had a mytouch 3g, then decided to get and hd2 because of the hardware. i tried so hard to love it, but i couldnt. so i recently switched to the slide and havent looked back. honestly the hd2 might have the hardware advantage but if you cant use it for anything other than basic phone uses, its pointless. the slide does everything my hd2 did and more minus the large screen.
If you want apps = mt3gs
no apps = hd2

I beg to differ, there are still apps for the HD2 or I should say WinMo. Just google it.
As of the moment, phone systems I work with don't even have apps for android and yet have them for WinMo (softphones). It all depends on what apps you are looking for. For me WinMo is more for business oriented applications.
SLIDE SLIDE SLIDE !!!
I bought an HD2 for my girl, she hated it...
I played with it for 2 days and hated it.
Traded it for a Nexus one and bought my girl a slide.
Lets just say, It was a great night for the BOTH of us
My dad just returned his HD2 within the grace period for the slide. The phone lived on the charger. Ive posted this here somewhere before about the HD2 but yea, he was that type that would have BT WiFi and GPS all enabled on his G1 and it would still last him the entire day. He doesnt text and doesnt use the internet on it much, just talk yet the HD2 needed a recharge at least once a day. The UI was also crazy for him to learn, and for some reason the on screen keyboard sucked, like the one on the slide is easier to way easier to use. Dont know if its because the screen was so wide that to type with one hand you had to stretch and reach or what
Having worked for T-Mobile I can tell you that people with the Slide are FAR more happier with it than those who get the HD2. About half of the HD2s that are sold have issues and end up being returned. The Slide is a damn good device and better all around. I know there are some that rattle on all day about hardware, but what good is it if you have to keep cleaning out memory, charging, and pulling out the battery cause it froze up? The Slide works, hardware or not.
I have both
I have both the HD2 and the Slide. I am currently on my 3rd HD2 ... 1 Warranty and 1 Insurance replacement. (cracked camera lense).
I wanted the HD2 for the Screen, and the Winmo integration with Windows, I felt it would be easier for me to master as my first smart phone. What I hate about Winmo is the lack of apps. Setting up Exchange Active sync is alot more buggy than I thought. My experience with the HD2 and the link to the TMO network is far from being desireable. HD2 camera is a SOLID performer. Everything else about the phone I love. So while I was waiting for the insurance replacement I bought a slide.
Mytouch slide - nice phone, easy to use, love the Qwerty Keyboard, but it also has Swype and touch keyboard as well. Love the App choices I have. Sync'd better with my Exchange server the 1st time than the HD2 did on any of the subsequent resets I had to do. Screen is small. If you forget to lock the screen, you always pressing something you didnt intend on. I like the Hd2 touch screen better. Camera is sketchy at best for a 5MP ... in fact I would say it has the worst 5MP camera on a phone I have owned. (Moto ZN5 was the other one I owned).
If I had to choose ... I would switch to sprint and get an EVO
Lol seriously like a lot of things about both, but for now Droid wins.
Get The Slide!!!
I have the HD2 and hate it
i had a G1 and iPhone before.
Slide hands down!
decision made...thanks everyone
SWell....I have owned the Slide for about a week now. I did NOT make a mistake. It's soooo much better, we ended up selling my boyfriends HD2 and now both have the slide. Sense on the HD2 helped, but it just still felt like WMobile trying too hard. I miss the large screen a little, but that's it. No buyers regrets.
Thanks everyone!
Coming from a guy who went from the Wing - > mytouch -> mytouch slide
i thought windows mobile was amazing till i touched a android phone, the only reason i didnt like my original mytouch was because it lagged to much, but with the slide, its alot faster than i expected and so far has been great.
