Theres a poll on the sprint website for which os Sprint should focus on. Palm is winning right now, and we can't have that. Everyone go over and vote.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/poll.jspa?poll=1079#userLogin
Come on people, we're losing. Rally
I don't understand why people like palm os so much more. Just seems out dated to me.

Palm OS is not one of the poll options nor is anyone talking about it here.
We're still 800 back! Vote people, this may actually have an affect in the future of our platform on Sprint, or at least it couldn't hurt.
VOTE NOW!
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
I just voted but damn, why is Palm OS ahead. It's a nice OS but even my dad who has a Pre wants an Evo after using it... he said it faaast, VROOM!

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!

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.

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..
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).

I think the Winmo 7 phone will be decent. Yes it's a totally new UI for it and the apps aren't backwards-compatible, but hacks will eventually come out for it.

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.

They named the OS wrong...should have been named Windows ME Mobile.
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
In their review for the hd mini found here
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...eview-HTC-HD-Mini-is-smaller-and-smarter.html
the last paragraph comes out with this little nugget..
And, unlike the HD2, this phone will not be upgradeable to the flashy Windows Phone 7 Series later in the year so you're stuck with the current version. Even so, the HTC overlay is so successful, and the phone itself such a joy to use, that it deservedly wins a fifth star.

Agreed. It's a one night stand of an OS to me. Unless it gets hacked to pieces so I have the functionality of WinMo it will always remain a toy to be occasionally flirted with, that will no doubt leave me feeling guilty and dirty the next day and running back into the arms of 6.5 apologising for my weakness.

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.

exactly, that's one of the reasons i voted for it
the other one is because i became kinda attached to it, despite it's flaws and limitations... and i also have high hopes for its future
wow, only 8 votes difference between them at the moment
Voted ..
Man, WebOS is ahead with 8 votes, come on !
ever so slightly ahead now, but assuming all the others vote against WP we probably need another 2000 votes or so
wow close race. I voted.
ok they edged ahead again, time for some bumping!
anyone posted on the WP7 forum?
