Added on May 7, 2008, 1:34 amwhen will it launch??

mmm...the official picture from its website:
[attachmentid=463203]

asia and europe is around June.. that all we know... Price dunno yet...

love the interface. ok with the spec... hate the battery.

price might be set at RM2799 - 3299...

this is good shiet..~~!!! wut the heck.. so beautiful and its perfect..

i dun care bout the battery but gonna buy this 1 no matter wut.. wakaka..

the specs sounds perfect... i think de price oso...

i think it wont go up to 3k... just around 2.5k +-

and it will drop fast too... when sep come...

-------------------------------------------------------------

so far there is only one website having pre-order price..

it state £434.94 .. mean RM2,693

heheheh... wait wat.. bring it in and play play la.. when u buy, we setup a small tt to test..
i sure concern of battery life..

alamak.. forget u from EM


u know why i say it will go up to 3k? simple... look at the spec it has 4gb and latest wm6.1 with 3d interface. and from your price made my estimation half correct... that price isnt include with taxes and stuff... so it will be landed around 2.7-3.2k...
3.2k is because it is Tytn II's price. Of coz we all hope it goes to 2.7k...

Just asked my supplier for tat phone.. they say dunno bout it yet.. wakaka.. they say wait la.. got oredy inform me.. going to get 1 myself.. to good to be true.. better than ipod touch..~ or iphone..~ if dun see memory and battery life la..

kns... liddat oso can...
remember share share ah...
it is already better than iphone... its has 3g~~~~~~ hahahahah

Official HTC Touch Diamond Case:






Credits to PhoneMag

haha.. they will get the info soon.. no worries..

and the pouch.. so nice le.. the phone backside is bumpy diamond type or just a design but flat back..?

...btw on the launch of this phone, iPhone also got 3G-fied already.
mmm...maybe on that time we can see iPhone vs Touch Diamond, both represents different platforms (WinMo and OSX Mobile). what the outcome will be, i'm just waiting.

Bumpy one.. haha.. For the four corner is very easy notice.. Those part around camera lens is still bumpy... but hardly noticed...

it should be flat kua...


nah... i was meant to be sarcastic on that...
haha but the truth is i still think WM is more flexible compare to iphone.

maybe maybe not...

I guess this will be the ultimate iphone killer.. more and more iphone ui have been integrated into the touchFLO 3D.. the coverflo like browsing contacts..awesome!

and my personal fav, conversations in messaging.. killer!

i wonder how much .. easily above 3k i suppose?

looks &@#@^$# good

Very good and nice

shit... i buying touch cruise tis sat edi... now tis pon launch... nooo... should i wait o wat... coz normally 1st badge sure got many problem..

u can opt to wait if u are not in the hurry...

this diamond is more promising than cruise alot... except for the battery

ya.. the battery... but 1st badge... scare a bit.. wait till 2nd o 3 badge 1st...

i wonder how the Diamond would stack up against iPhone 3G, the Xperia X1 and the Nokia Tube!!!

We'll have a super titan battle then!!!

2008 i soooo the year of the touchscreens haha

How dare you forgets the legendary ultimate HTC's Touch Raphael ???!!!

haha... Just wait and see..



Here are some info...

We shall see about that..

compare this with the tyttn how ah ??? this phone looks good .. can fight iphone ...

think i will get this instead of SE X1

this is how the back look like... I still think it's "hardly notice bumpy"...

if its bumpy or uneven, means those sharp edges point downwards easily get skin peeled.. haha.. later the colour at those bump out edges scratched till finish lo..

yup, will be a very very very competitive year.
before this just super boring phones in market.

at least we can see how they can maximise the potential on both platform.
still early to say anything as the unit still not in market. eagerly waiting to see how will it be in our hands.
oww btw the OSX Mobile platform in the iPhone is also flexible, plus it's more stable albeit it's relatively new.
looking at the spec sheet, the Touch Diamond is supposed to be a great phone. another great member of Touch family.
mmm...just wanna see if the touchflo3d on the contact list is really that practical or not. so just waiting for that unit to arrive in our market to see how will it be.

p.s: btw i still have some skepticism on WinMo platform (yeah crashing, need to force close application, lagging, etc etc, the things that WinMo's users are familiar with). but maybe that's all due to insufficient resources. looking forward to see what the outcome will be for this Touch Diamond.

bro.. diamond uses 192mb RAM...
but still i find the video of the interface is slightly laggy. it still has WM's downside for loading times.

i always hope for the best of all..

yup i know from the spec list.
maybe this is what a winmo phone really needs

wah2..nice phone..really want to buy it..

maybe.. because even 128mb doesnt give the snappy performance needed...
its good to see that they put in 192mb... by next year, we will see 256MB RAM... and processor should be around 1ghz...

thats the evolution of technology.. hahahah

got news on the phone oredy.. afternoon will get the price.. estimation, but dunno when will reach in.. wakaka..

Stratos,

Give a review man once you get your hands on this. I still feel that Touchflo 3D is still inferior to Multitouch of Apple.

kns... dunno when reach know price is like got the bowl but no rice... tak boleh makan...

dunno wut info they got for me.. later gimme the specs only..

lol... shoot back them..."i oso got la... i give back u wan mou?"

"I also know how to use already la.... I teach you also can , wan ? "

Shoot them kao kao...

Added on May 8, 2008, 3:38 pmOk... I almost can confirm this Diamond will having price around RM2.7k ~ RM2.9k...

It wont be more than RM3k....

Look like RM3.2k reserved to HTC's Touch Raphael... haha...

the phone June or July will be out, around like tat.. Price will be confirmed soon.. Soon as in 1 week time..

This phone will have memory card slot or not? i read the specs and it only say internal memory 4gb? if no card slot present, 4gb will be tad insufficient since its a win mo device

Feature wise and design wise i say this definitely exceeds the tytnII , and all htc products currently on the market, finally a htc that looks awesome

how well this phone when compared to xperia??
IMO, the specs are quite similar, except for the battery maybe..

Nope.. not memory card slot.. This is one of the reason they able to make the thickness to 11.7mm

do u all think whether the 1st badge got problem o not ar?

X1 has WVGA screen, Diamond has VGA
X1 has memory card slot, Diamond not
X1 has sliding qwerty keyboard, Diamond not
X1 is bigger and heavier

No memory card.. built in 4GB oredy lor.. no need memory slot oredy.. and need VGA screen to make those prictures more real in 3D..

X1 has WVGA screen, Diamond has VGA ( I think VGA is better for surfing while WVGA better for movie )
X1 has memory card slot, Diamond not ( You need to pay extra for memory card and loading time may increase while doing certain reading from memory card )
X1 has sliding qwerty keyboard, Diamond not ( size say it all - 17mm vs 11.7mm )
X1 is bigger and heavier ( One of the reason is cause by the 1500MAh battery... That thing really huge @_@ )

windows mobile apps/games can go as high as 300mb per apps, so for the heavy users 4gb may not be enough for all their apps and not counting songs and stuff

i seldom install apps/games more than 100mb. and i can hardly finish my 1gb card with all apps i need.
4gb? i put songs can la.. if not i wont even touch half of it.

but i do notice if a pda phone installed too many apps/games... one day your phone will be like haywired..

i like my pdaphone clean and light(as in memory wise)...
