HTC touch Diamond with TouchFLO 3D

3D effects of TochFlo-jus amazing! Must watch in youtube videos!

Suprising to see only 900mAH battery with this powerful device????!!!!

Nice to have 192MB RAM & 4GB ROM.

(I believe old HTC device P6500 has 256MB RAM??!!)

Anyway,expecting an early release in India!

looks amazing..device of the year for sure...but fact is HTC never really delivers what they actually announce to do..touchflo is extremely slow on HTC phones..lets see what have they done..if its good..i may switch brands..

^^^ +1.

Touch has always been a slow device and hangs a lot.

^^^ disagree..
if you install lots of junk in your phone then they would be slower.. (at last its in windows )

And this diamond is masterpiece... I am gonne buy that for sure..

looks like iphone killer..

one thing you have to realize is that a phone is different from a computer.But the diamond has 192mb ram..will play a part i guess..will cost more than 30k if i m not wrong

iphone is going to cost the same..
then why should buy iphone.??

please dont compare the diamond to the iphone..its comparing an automobile to a human...they have no similartities and are targeted at different peaple..and yea..peaple will buy the iphone because its apple and more peaple know about it.. how many of us has actually heard of the htc touch??

I saw the video, and feel that the iPhone interface is like waaaay better.

and have you ever visited xdadevelopers.com site ?? check the number of users there..

The Diamond is a damn good device. Hope they manage to integrate TouchFLO with WM better than they did in the Touch Cruise.

Thank YOU! Not for praising the iPhone, but for looking beyond the flashy crap that everyone else gets so easily dazzled by.

I can't imagine myself using that phone on a regular basis. I'd just be sitting there waiting for it to display its fancy “3D” animations every time I do so much as move a muscle.

Seriously, is there no other company on Earth with Apple's sense of usability?

SteveJack, of MacDailyNews, nailed it with these words, “You can judge the distance behind and overall cluelessness of iPhone's future roadkill by the amount they copy the iPhone's exterior... This ceaseless quest to dress up antiques in Apple veneer is pathetic and sad.”

Spot on, I say, spot on.

pretty sweet for a Win Mo, definitely better than the first HTC Touch, i wonder why can't these guys get better menu icons & colors

some people here are so blinded by iphone that they cant see other good and usable phone around !!

Ok, come on, I can't see how anyone would argue with the fact that the iPhone has the best interface on a portable device whilst using a touch screen.

Two things that absolutely made PMPs such as the Cowon D2 out of the question for me was the need of a stylus and the horrible scrolling mechanism. The iPhone/touch totally fixes both.

Of course, the lack of features and performance [noticeably SQ, which is something I am completely appalled by] is another topic all together.

@Aayush, before you start off on your "More is less" speech, please don't. All of us have read it two times too many. No offense.

saw the whole vid, the thing lags during net browsing & has been ir-responsive on a quite a few occasions, but WTH i can change the ringtone to a simple mp3 without opening a garage band

The iPhone is not so expensive after all, even if it sells for Rs. 28,000, and word on the street is that it's going to sell for much less.

Aayush Arya : Our friendly neighborhood Apple salesman who won't miss a chance to Brag/Advertise/Shove an Apple Product even when no one asked for it.

^^ you said it right.. many people just wants to be apple eater..

Phone looks yummy!

One downside I can see is 65K colors. Why can't HTC guys just chuck WM and design their own firmware, grounds up. I am sure the UI will look better. WM seriously sucks big time. Most of the time it looks very vanilla, its sluggish, color depth is low and tacky UI. IE on it is equally bad.

… and yet people keep on buying them. Explains a lot about how Windows on the desktop manages to sell.

Which explains majority of people buy phone to work & not to drool over it.

The iPhone is so fat compared to HTC touch
