prices range around RM1800-1900 for new set at the garage sales. depends on seller, sometimes might include a bigger capacity memory card or extra battery.

yeah, probably due to the new models released by htc this year.

yeah, even now it's already a bit hard to get at some shops. one of the shops i checked out at my hometown doesn't offer touch pro already. starting to bring in the newer ones.

if you don't mind a smaller screen and a lower mp camera, i think the touch pro should fit you well
not aiming for touch pro2?

my hometown is ipoh. i picked up a flyer from the shop, newer models are on the list, but not touch pro or diamond. maybe have to ask them directly, i'm not sure.

specs wise seems like both of them are almost identical. except for the camera, and different processor model. but processor speed same.

maybe other members here can help, especially those who have used both phones before

yes, diamond 2 current price is about RM2.4k

i totally agree with your statement
when i bought my tp, that time it was quite over my budget, but i decided to go ahead instead, and i never regretted it.
now i have all my appointments on my tp, birthdays, etc etc. really helps a lot. have to be wise in making decision and spending the money lor, if overspend then must know how to cover back

if change also i think the same colour only. no different colours like nokia
another alternative is to skin the phone
probably would be cheaper too

you mean 2nd hand touch pro?
got some selling at rm1k or below, above 1k also got

haha, maybe, but not now. very happy with my touch pro now
and also no money to upgrade

@Shufflerz,
how's the TAEL rom? smooth? got any bugs? planning to flash to that rom, the sense edition one. i like the home weather wallpaper

currently using HD rom, forgot by who already..

well i wouldn't say that it's problem free, there's still some minor bugs here and there, but the main functions are working well.

i have this weird problem with my tp now, suddenly the battery is draining super fast, it can go down to about 50% overnight :confuse:

is it a problem with my rom/radio? previous weeks when i flashed this rom it was ok..

yeah, agree with that. my first custom ROM was energy, at first it seemed ok, but then there were lots of advanced features which i didn't use, so now change to TAEL. before TAEL i was using some HD ROM..forgot the exact name..that was ok too, but too bad no Manila 2.5. Really like Manila 2.5!

seems like this problem affects quite a lot eh? a design flaw perhaps?
mine too, certain keys are a bit insensitive, but i still can bear with it, just need to type slowly sometimes.

yeah it auto detects. i'm on maxis too. when 1st boot, it'll ask in the config window, to choose maxis or maxis 3g. i personally go with maxis instead of 3g, and turn off all 3g data connections, so that my credit won't run out

TAEL's one is pretty good too, there's no rom that's most stable. bound to be some bugs somehow somewhere. i was using energy too last time, found that it's too advanced, many features that i dont use
there's another one which i used, but i forgot what's the exact name of the rom. that one's quite ok too.

oh yeah, now i remember. the other one i used was chrome. yeah chrome isn't bad at all, less advanced features, and looks quite close to stock rom, which i like
just that some features are missing.

maybe you should give the chrome rom a try
i was previously using TAEL v3.28011 (15 Dec 09).

there's a few processes that you would need to go through.
as 6.5 isn't officially supported by HTC, so there's no 6.5 ROM for the touch pro by HTC, therefore you would need to put in a custom 6.5 rom.

1. you have to hardSPL your touch pro, i don't really know how to explain it, but it's something like unlock your phone to make it able to be flashed with custom rom.
2. checkout other forums like xda-developers, they have many custom roms for various phones, check out the ones for touch pro.
3. see which ever rom that suits you best, download and then follow the instructions as posted by the xda-developers members.
