unfortunatly tru...it still is windows...but htc is doing incredible things with the today screen...i loved the original htc home...and now this is so much better...
hopefully there will be a cab soon to use this home screen on my touch.

Wrong section?
And im not impressed, i can youtube already on my phone, i would like if it had a rewind feature, i hate watching youtube and cant go back.

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. "For peat sake" go out and buy an iphone! I am!

So the iPhone has done GPS, 3G, 3rd Party apps before has it
Yes I've played with my mates iPhone, it was nice, slick and I wont deny was a nice phone but come on your starting to sound like Steve with all those copyright logos

Lets be nice guys. All i was addressing was, how many phones came out ever since the iphone, that didnt remind you in some way of the iphone? This Diamond is nice and all. I just see a wannabee iphone. Not being mean just saying. So please, lets respect each others comments.

Lets be nice? Why come in here and make comments that you know will cause backlash if you are trying to be nice?
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..

lmao at winmo fanboys

just had a guy at ppcgeeks tell me Android is to the mobile market what Linux is to the desktop market. talk about having your heads in the clouds. im soo glad i ditched winmo and moved to the hero. after seeing the disaster of wm7 today i made the right move.

Wow haha... that man has been misinformed obviously. MyTouch 3G? Droid? Nexus One? The only Android phone I could really say that would fit his description would be the Samsung moment (haven't heard of many people with one).

Sound like the grown adult man working as a parking lot attendant living on the days of his tenure as a high school football player who scored the winning touchdown.they will catch up soon or later

Cant and wont agree with the comment from the guy at PPG, however the 7 phone is far from a disaster and I fully believe that it will bring WinMo back from the dead...even more so than WebOS did for Palm. Its look features, and functionality beats the **** out of everything on the market except Android. Anyway, I'm with Android to stay (though maybe not Sence next time around).

horton hears a who
Recovering the costs of new development, and gathering anticipated profits to MS (or any other large company) will have to be realized before any new stuff is released. So they will slow the industry momentum down in order to maximize the money that can make. Money is fine. Slowing everything down sucks.
Now they can slow things down by screwing up others, ie.. specifications for open systems designs and so forth.
Only when they see their customer base being reduced (-14% winmo) will they react.
Google on the other hand supplies a "cloud base" and should be impervious to change costs on platforms. That could mean the introduction of new platforms and system upgrades. Certainly a more open environment.

don't hate I love my andriod more than my old winmo phone, but when html5 getting running everywhere. Now I say this with a tear in my eye(of happyness) there won't be a need for a closed app stores and alot more web based apps

Swype might already be obsolete

Have you seen BlindType? I think I need it!!!

Watch the whole video. It will blow your mind.

WANT!!!!!!!!!

wow that is crazy... not sure what I think of it so far, the keyboard thing is interesting and I'd love to play with it.
got to say the keyboard that I really like is skiftkey it monitors how you type and predicts your next word. I keep switching between swype that swiftkey.

Ahh, no thanks. It's always good to have options and competition, but I could never use that keyboard.

So far ShapeWriter seems fastest for me. I wish it had better prediction though.

Wow, how did they do that, lmao.

not bad. I still like swype better =)

The phrase invisible keyboard sounds really cool until you take a second and realize how silly it actually is. Additionally what if I meant to write tao and it thinks I must surely have meant tap or rap or yap, or maybe I meant tso as in the general's chicken or tsp like the measure. As far as I can tell this new system is nothing more than unmitigated sillyness.
Magicked from my Vibrant by tube traversing XDA elves.

this looks like a good concept but i dont think id like it for real world use for same reasons as posted above. I still love swipe not sure id want to change

This has alot of potential, ill give it a try when its released.

Looks amazing, but also looks gimmicky. I have gotten a but too used to swype to try another"hunt and peck" keyboard.

Haha I was just about to point this out. Looks like we might be seeing and hearing more about this now. I saw that demo video a while ago and totally forgot about it till today. Seems cool but I do agree it is a bit "gimmicky"

SwiftKey implements this right now, probably in a more efficient manner.

Either way, who cares? Who would honestly want to run that bloated piece of junk on a real phone? All other things aside, this should probably be in general.

I agree it should be. I apologize. Mods please move.

I'm willing to bet that it's an Iphone put into an HTC case...perhaps hooked up to the OEM HTC screen. Still a very clever hack if that's the case. But still not as impressive as porting the entire OS with everything working.
I'd certainly flash it and keep a nandroid of it to show off to my geek friends, but, I'd never use it.
Once again, it's incredibly doubtful that it is exactly what it seems to be, though I know it's far from impossible....just improbable.

Last time I checked, iOS isn't open source. You would need the source to compile it to run on an ARM processor. You guys are noobs.

[Q] What do you think of the new market?

To me it just seems much more cluttered and slower.
The slower part really doesn't bother me as much as the cluttering.
Plus the "carousal" hangs too low allowing only a few apps to be seen at a time.
I expected better functionality not a "prettier" design.

The design really is awful. Some complaints:
1. Why isn't the full description shown? It's one of the most important things! And you only get maybe 12 words by default. Useless and annoying to be forced to hit "more" every single time.
2. The labels are just as annoying. Single words without a description would have been fine, we end up seeing more text about what a generic UI labels means instead of what the actual app you are looking at does.
3. Bring back the old tabs. Way too much information at one time. As you said it's cluttered.
4. Again like you said, the top carousel occupies up to 1/2 of the screen. Why?
That said, the new Market looks A LOT better in landscape. Still has a lot of the same problems but at least the huge space that the carousel takes up is a little more forgiving in that orientation.

So, others think the new market is flawed but their opinions are "stupid and crappy" and if they don't like the new market, they should "code one themselves" and "stop whining"?
However, you like the new market just fine and, of course, your opinion is not "stupid and crappy" at all.
Got it.

There are both good and bad on the new market. It seems like they rushed it out instead of trying it for a while to see if they even like it. I agree that not being able to see the whole description without hitting the more button is bad. The more button should be used to view the other less useful stuff at the bottom of the page like the developers email and similar products and not the product description that you are trying to view. I do like the new look, but do agree the carousel hangs too low and does not allow for more apps to be viewed on the screen. I do like the looks of the new market, but they could have done some things differently to make it a better user experience. I know that this is what it is and I will deal with it, but I do have the right to complain about the things I don't like. I will deal with because I have to, but I feel that a lot of folks are going to complain and that another update fixing some of these issues is imminent.

There are a lot of devs that are royally pissed off about this update, people outside the US were having almost all of their orders declined and in turn losing money.

how do u install the new market

I already dumped it myself. To much going on. Half the screen is gone by the carousel. It will prolly grow on us once we are all forced to have it.

Change is good? There's good change and then there's bad change. I usually love any change - I don't love this.

Dear Google,
As much as I like change, this new market design is simply atrocious. Nobody is going to use the scrolling view on top, and it takes 2/3 of the screen. You tried to fit a square in a circle, and did so poorly. It reminds me of a xbox marketplace; just a bunch of graphic throw up. Now, I like having everything on one page, but why minimize the description? The most important part of buying and or upgrading is the description.
On top of that, the placement and order of the pages feel like a maze to me. There is no indication how far back you can go in the application without being sent to your home screen.
While I am sure this app will serve its purpose, I really do expect more from Google come next market update.
From,
A concerned Android enthusiast

How do i get it? i still have the old one...
