I guess I'll hold off on getting the Pro to see if there will be an HTC Touch HD Pro  . I want a device with a sliding keyboard, but if the new device will have this kind of resolution, and there's a chance that it'll also be expanded to have a version with a QWERTY keyboard like the Pro, I'll be rushing into oblivion by getting the Pro when a better device is not too far away. HTC is doing too much it seems. It reminds me of the time Apple released the 4GB iPhone only to discontinue it only after a few months and offered all those who had the 4GB the option to upgrade. Doing so could be carrier specific for that to happen should the Touch HD be released on the same provider as the Diamond ... but that'll still cost HTC in the long-term. Ok ... sorry for the rant, lol. |
i think the MAJOR point a lot of you are overlooking is they made the diamond/pro to be released NOW, in 2008. This new HTC was just showed off today for the first time. Who knows when it will even be available overseas, let alone the US or CDMA if it ever even comes to CDMA). Id be willing to bet you dont see it even overseas for a release until 2009, meaning IF the US sees it itll be a year from now for the next yearly HTC device round.
Cant jump the gun yet the thing was just spotted for the first time, its not even out yet at all anywhere in the world let alone the US which is known for getting technology dead last.
