By this.
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/23/htcs-raphael-and-diamond-coming-to-sprint-and-looking-good/

Unless my reading skills are failing me,E-mobile said the diamond wouldn't have a keyboard,rite?
This does have a keyboard,and last time I checked it didn't say anything about a touchsreen.
So wouldn't those pics shown be the Raphael,and not the diamond?

Please correct me if I'm wrong,cause I would like to know where I possibly messed up]]>May 3rd 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/

It will have a touch screen but no hardware keyboard (if they do a Dual type thing then it may have a keypad, either 12 of 20 key version).

The Raphael, apparently will have a sliding qwerty, making it the replacement for the Kaiser.

This is speculation/educated guess work. I am sure all will become clear in a couple of days when HTC have their day in London.]]>May 3rd 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/May 3rd 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/Titanium = vertical numeric slider

Wait, just wait, of course it has a touchscreen, where do you think the name "HTC TOUCH Diamond" came from?!]]>May 3rd 2008 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/Gee,when ya say it like that ,ya make it seem like we don't want a touchscreen.

It always amazes me how long it takes for these things to sync too– just to update a few calendar changes on a very fast Vista machine, it takes at least 20-30 minutes.

Are you kidding me?
My iPod syncs the calendar in about 30 seconds.

I just hope the 3G iPhone comes out soon so I can finally switch to the dark side.]]>May 3rd 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/May 3rd 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/

Either way, even the biggest Windows Mobile zealot can agree that the sync system needs to be re-written from the ground up.]]>May 3rd 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
Since you find it so difficult to understand, let me break this new concept to you– PCs are made by many different companies using many different combinations of softwares and hardware configurations, and thus it is not a mystery when someone has an experience that is slightly different than yours.

And no, I do not have a shitty computer– 2.4 quad core, 3 gb ram, 500 gb 7200 rpm, etc etc.]]>May 3rd 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/May 3rd 2008 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
Do they even make the 8125s?

Since you're a mac user, so perhaps you don't understand that there is significant heterogeneity among PCs and due to all the diversity, someone may have an experience that is drastically different than your own.

Was I claiming that 30 minutes was the norm for everyone?

No.]]>May 3rd 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/May 3rd 2008 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
Windows Mobile sync acts up and a perfectly working machine is now a broken machine?

Also who made you the one who determines whether someone can comment or not?

I will comment whenever the hell I want to, thank you, "Boy."]]>May 3rd 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
Saying that your computer config made your syn take 30 minutes is pure stupid. That is like saying that PC configs make a huge difference in web browsing speeds.... unless you computer was built 10 years ago, the config will have barely any effect on a low end task like that.

So stop insulting people with your bullshit and pretending that you *know* so much about PC performance.]]>May 3rd 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/May 3rd 2008 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
You are not stupid, nor we are, but when many WinMo users tell you that the process of syncing dose take a max of 5 minutes in worst case scenarios, where a PC is encoding a file and Photoshop is running along, this means that either your WinMo or your PC is "damaged".

My Advice: do a check up on your PC, or change your WinMo device from your retail shop.

Don't talk anymore, just do exactly what I said; it is the best and safest solution for your money. You should have done this 3 days max after you faced that problem.

Enjoy your time.]]>May 3rd 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/

Update Windows Mobile Device Center, you should be able to Sync your WinMo device just fine then.

MMS, better Bluetooth, higher res screen, modem support? Citing these as advantages over the 3G iPhone that's yet to be revealed must mean that you have exclusive access to the specs.

Either that or you're talking out of your ass.]]>May 3rd 2008 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
That HTC Touch Diamond looks like something Ugly Betty would use.

Maybe because firmware 2.0 is out, and there is no sign of improved bluetooth support and MMS, and the cheap data plans Apple negotiated would not allow them to let people use their phones as modems? Also developers would need to be warned of to code resolution-independently if the iPhone 2 had a different screen.

Unless you know differently of course, which I really doubt.

Hey maybe you know the iPhone 2 will come with a kitchen sink and fridge too? You know everything is possible, no matter how unlikely, isn't it.]]>May 4th 2008 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/03/htc-touch-diamond-shots-and-specs-this-weeks-big-announcement/
