How many other phones have a screen resolution higher than VGA currently? And btw, VGA on a cell phone is awesome anyways.

Not trying to diss on the Touch HD, but seriously, that phone will be like a grand when it comes out.

With the economy being complete crap right now, why would you want to buy a phone that expensive?

I agree....

Unless Sprint or someone picks it up and gives us a good deal on it, I'd rather just keep the diamond and buy a Ipod Touch for multimedia.

I can't justify dropping 1k on a phone......

If u look closely its a full screen device similar to the iphone. I hate to say it and use the cliche ....but is this a possible "Iphone killer" ? Modaco also posted some info too. Check out the links below.

Ok, now I am just dubious as to why HTC even bothered to make the Diamond ... The HD likely won't be released for another 4 months, but still ... why make the Diamond only to make a 50x better looking device that will be even better .... but still running WM6.1??? 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.

Say it isn't released for another year ... who will still want to put up with WM6.1 a year from now? No matter how much lipstick (TouchFlo 3D) you put on a pig, it's still pork (WM6.1).

Isnt the weird pixle ratio gonna make app sizing hard? causing xvga apps un-usable?

if so, ill wait a while to get a phone that old apps wont work on, cause i got an s60 V3 phone when it first came out, but all s60 V2 apps or below wouldnt work on it, and it was ultra lame to wait for apps to come out, because it took months for basic apps to work on the phone...

thats also another of my concerns. Maybe someone will come out with a utility that'll work in the background to allow programs developed on lower resolutions to automatically be redrawn to fit on th wvga

Yea but is the HD coming to sprint? i know the pro is coming out in a few weeks which i will probably get, but what about this big screened monster? will sprint even be able to get their grubby hands on it or will someone else snatch it up........like always
