I wanted the Diamond until the Touch HD- much much better IMHO

I really have wanted the Diamond since I found out about it last December. Now as this year begins to wind down, and the Diamond is about to be released I'd much much much rather have the Touch HD which is being released in Europe in December. This thing has about twice the screen real estate compared to the diamond and the phone isn't really that much bigger than the Diamond. The Touch HD is about the same size as an iphone but of course the iphone doesn't have nearly the resolution of the Touch HD. That isn't to put down the iphone - the iphone does many things very well. The Touch HD is the absolute best competitor to the iPhone in my opinion.

I'm not sure if people would be offended if I posted a link so I'd suggest you just google the HTC Touch HD and look at this bad boy! Makes the Diamond show its age (even though it hasn't been officially released in the US yet. If the moderators say it is OK - I'll be glad to post some links.

Re: I wanted the Diamond until the Touch HD- much much better IMHO

I think we are all onboard with it too. But to wait for it is another story. Plus I think it does not have a physical Keyboard. Kind of kills it. But yes..it is a very nice phone!

It will be a bit before we see it over here. HTC has plenty of Diamonds and Pros to sell before this phone. It's called sell whatcha got first!

Correct me if im wrong, but most applications are VGA or QVGA, are they expected to work with HTC HD...? I'll wait it out till I know more about the application details, as for buying it I'll buy it when a CDMA version is released. which looks pretty far from now.

Also should this thread really even be in the Diamond forum?

Re: I wanted the Diamond until the Touch HD- much much better IMHO

I agree we won't get anything like it over here any time soon - at least not with CDMA - however Palm is starting to sell direct and HTC is even selling the 3G diamond unlocked through bestbuy. If wishes were fishes... the CDMA providers would move forward and unlock their networks so we could have cool HTC phones over here when they are still fresh and not obsolete. Things like this make we want to move over to the dark side and get a GSM contract although I've negotiated so many times to get a great deal on my monthly I'm dreading the thought of starting all over with a new provider.

I think this is going to be the phone I lust for for at least another year although I lusted for a Diamond for nearly as long and my fickle heart has already jumped ship even before I've ordered a Diamond.
