The Diamond runs the new TouchFlo 3D overlay on top of Windows Mobile which in many ways is more like those Vito apps than the old TouchFlo. Anyways, my point is that the integration of this new TouchFlo 3D into the phone coupled with the faster processor really make for a brand new WOW experience for me. HTC has really outdone themselves! So with the TouchFlo 3D overlay, an even faster processor, and the even bigger screen the HTC Touch HD will go far beyond just killing the iPhone.

One more thought on the Diamond...
With 640x480 pixels packed into the 2.8" screen I'm loving the web surfing. I don't even need to zoom in as much as those little pincher buddies of mine do on the iPhone to read small text.]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
I'm not entirely surprised either, Opera has created a great web browsing experience on mobile phones.]]>Sep 18th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
My point here is, what make a good phone is not just hardware, but also software. It's the whole user experience that WinMo is missing. The Apps store, for example, does not exist in WinMo. If you really think about it, iPhone is the only phone that a company have been updating and adding new features for. Most other phone when does not improve after you buy them, and some do update firmware for stability, not new features.

I think the real iPhone killer, is the HTC Touch HD + Android. I will be looking forward to that phone!]]>Sep 18th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
Not only that but the colours on the iPhone were really washed out in comparison to the Touch HD. The iPhone displays grey where the Touch HD displays blue.]]>Sep 18th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
I had an iTouch and I felt it (and iPhone) can use a stylus. There were times I was surfing and wanted to press a link, but it was way too small. I had to zoom in just to click the link. A stylus would had allowed me to directly click link with zooming...time saver!]]>Sep 18th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/"If you really think about it, iPhone is the only phone that a company have been updating and adding new features for.

I don't know why you are highly ranked despite talking such crap. Did the Sprint Mogul users imagine things when they got GPS added to their phones? Thats not a "real" new feature? How about Sprint Touch users who got Opera Mobile with their Windows Mobile 6.1 update?

The only reason the iPhone has so many updates is because it lacks such a lot. I mean, why should getting 3rd party apps be not only an update, but news by itself? A modern smartphone that launches without 3rd party apps is a joke.]]>Sep 18th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
WinMo has been skinned so heavily that the regular user isn't going to see WinMo and, hey, that's just the first generation of well skinned phones. What do you think the next ones will be like?]]>Sep 18th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
sgumer - good luck getting Sprint to give you the Touch Diamond for free...It's not easy. You might have better luck asking for one of the original HTC Touchs they're probably trying to unload. Last year they hooked me up with that one for free too when it launched. If you go that route give those Vito Technology apps I referenced above a shot as you'll most likely be impressed.

Good luck]]>Sep 18th 2008 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
TouchFlo is OK, but if I get a Touch I won't be using that because I don't like that interface. The good news is there a jazillion other apps I can install in its place.]]>Sep 19th 2008 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 19th 2008 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
Makes me want one!

O wait the rip off data plan that costs $80+ a month no matter what smart phone you buy is not worth it lol.]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
buy you get billed 5 times a month for it...so your really paying $35.00


Ive honestly never delt with a company billing me three times in one month like sprint did]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
SEP 450 - 450 minutes, unlimited weekends, unlimited nights (starts at 7pm), unlimited data, unlimited SMS, unlimited navigation and unlimited Sprint TV.

AT&T is thinking whether or not to take it (leaning towards no at the moment), they (att) are thinking of a packaged plan (like iphone plan) for it if they do, but they want to charge a lot more fo rthe phone even subsidized. they plan to court apple so they get the exclusive again on the next gen iphone.]]>Sep 18th 2008 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Awesome Speed

It's surprisingly fast. Look how fast the orientation changes, compared to the 6-second lag on the webcast video.]]>Sep 18th 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/

Thats hilarious. Not only does this phone have a screen with 2.5 times the resolution of the iPhone, it also fits a removable battery and 5 megapixel autofocus camera in a device the same size as the iPhone.

It seems Apple is falling 5 years behind, doesn't it...]]>Sep 18th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 19th 2008 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/
Wrong! They clearly touched a few times. I thought I saw them rubbing the TouchHD and the iPhone together in that video when comparing two pda-penis. The TouchHD can piss its name on the wall. ]]>Sep 18th 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/htcs-touch-hd-makes-its-video-debut/Sep 18th 2008 10:43AM
