It looks like in this version of TouchFlo clicking the Start button calls up the program menu unlike the current list. In 6.5 the Start button calls up the honeycomb interface. Either way it is a finger friendlier option.]]>Feb 16th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/

Already, there are a plethora of phones out on the market that utterly destroy the iPhone in terms of capabilities, and with TF3D, HTC phones also outdo it in terms of usability.

This takes it one step further even.]]>Feb 16th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 8:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/
That sounds pretty disingenuous.

99% of the time, you will be using TF3D, and that rare 1% of the time where you have to see WinMo's native interface, really isnt that bad.

The only times I can think of when you would need to see WinMo's native interface is when running its native apps, such as calendar and alarm, and even then there are countless finger friendly versions of those that you can also implement and set as default.

Why does the iPhone lag like nobodies business when trying to type a simple text message on it?
Why does it lag like crazy when you try to scroll through contacts. For that matter, why does it take like 5 seconds for contacts to show up on it?
Anytime I moved through the interface on an iPhone, it always seems to be a step behind my actions.

Basic reading comprehension will get you a long way.

As to the question, there's a screenshot of a new soft QWERTY in the "Hands on with WM6.5" article. I think it's the Diamond2s, but it might be a new WM one...]]>Feb 17th 2009 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 7:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/

Slightly smaller screen, but still obviously in the same big screen class, and no 3.5 minijack.

I'm just not seeing where this one fits in really.

I own several HTC devices and do not have to hard reset any except when I actually want to. Soft resets are also hardly ever necessary when running a stable ROM.

HTC devices are excellent and there are many methods of customization (flashing a custom ROM, etc.) with tons of info @ xda-developers.com. This will no doubt be yet another great device.

Would be great if people would stop touting the iPhone as some godly creation. Take it from me, I've used an iPhone extensively and own an iPod Touch. I like my HTC's better for just about everything. They work exactly the way I want them to without having to go through the headache of "jailbreaking" and all sorts of crap. ]]>Feb 16th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/

ummm excuse me, you cant drink a fake beer, light a fake lighter, or have a pretty lil rave light on a razr.

the reason the iphone will still sell alot is the same reason that "paul blart mall cop" made 110 million dollars, and thats because this country is stupid :)

i cant blame people, alot of people have an iphone and use it more as a toy then an actual phone and thats why they sell... i myself have a touch pro and dont exactly need all the functionality it has, but i love the phone and wouldnt trade it in for anything...]]>Feb 16th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/16/first-hands-on-with-the-htc-touch-diamond2-with-video/Feb 16th 2009 9:37PM
