I seeked for htc touch 3g in ahmedabad but no info available :( .. there is no accelerometer is 3g, this feature is available from diamond model onwards.

I would like to ask you how was your overall experience with htc touch? Battery life, touch flo experience and video playback..

I saw HTC touch diamond.. its having best GUI on windows phone..it seems cool.. but its around 25k

Thanks :)

that must b HTC VIVA or OPAL... same hardware as HTC touch(elfin) with new software...
touch 3g is HTC JADE... both r different...if touch 3g is around 16,000 than its d best deal one can get... do u knw whn tht phone ll b available???

Yes.. thanks for info.. :)
I was googling abt this and found some informative sites regarding this...

I too thought the same way like you... but seems there is some memory enhancements too.. New version must be having 256MB ROM and 128 MB RAM..

Many websites tells, it will be launched early october.. so i think this is the model we will be looking for..

Yeah u r correct.. HTC 3G wont be available at this price..

Another confusion..
*news.infibeam.com/blog/news/2008/09/16/new_htc_touch_3g_htc_touch_viva_introduced.html

in this site.. it tells Viva has GPS too.. will it be available at this price of below 16k??

*www.mobilewhack.com/htc-touch-viva-aka-opal-gets-official/

and one more...

*www.mydigitallife.info/2008/09/20/htc-touch-3g-and-htc-touch-viva-overview/

so wat u all feel...? and think?? ;)

dont get confused go to htc official site for configuration... and if u r waiting for touch viva than u r wasting 2k extra money for same hardware piece as touch which is available at 14k... bye touch instead of viva... if u wanna wait than wait for touch 3g dont wait for viva...

Hi..

How can u say 2k is waste??

we are getting more memory for 2 K.. (Less memory is one of drawback of touch isnt it?)

And also we get 3d touch flo, i think!

and some site say say.. GPS too.. is it? :O

go to gsmarena and compare both (touch and viva). same 128/256 touch available in 14k.. and no gps in viva...

its not touch flo 3d as in diamond.. its touchflo 2d... thats diff.. u wont understand d diff until u c it... its not major though...

that means it is htc touch(3452) or elf first touch released... the next touch (3452 or elfin) released around end of 2007 since then elf was withdrawn... that may b one of them.. otherwise now generally touch means 3452....

good news even on htc touch (elfin)3452 u can install same software of HTC viva yet to release... so buy old touch and save 2k.

Oh ...

But isnt the Old touch comes with 128 MB ROM, and 64 MB RAM ???

so i can go for 256MB ROM and 128 MB RAM model by paying 2k Extra..?
