It's a VGA (640x480) camera for video telephony. It's a common feature on some of the newer HTC GSM offerings. It's on the TYTN II, but oddly not on the Tilt.
If you load up some of the dailer skins on XDA, you can get a feel of where the "video" button is on the phone dialer for tele-conferencing.

P.S. My refurb Titan came with Smell-o-Vision, in then sense of; I can scratch and sniff the last owner's breath on the microphone... J/K

I would like for our current units, that scrolling face contacts, animated weather icons and that clock..That should be doable.

I am sure that after seeing those examples, there have to be some very talented individuals already mechanizing somethings of the sort..

Very nice, I wonder if Wifi will be left off of the CDMA version like it is with the current Touch?

All discussion about the upcoming HTC Diamond or Raphael should be directed to this thread. Any future threads dealing with talk of these phones will be closed in whatever section they are posted in.

This post is a combination of the former threads:

HTC bringing VGA displays to sprint: Raphnel and Diamond
and
Diamond Video WOWSERS

Which were the largest Diamond/Raphael threads on the site.

Once we get a lot closer to the release date of either of these phones, a separate section will be made. Until then, please limit all talk about these upcoming phones to this thread.

Thank You.

ok thanks for telling us you were a mod or admin. lmfao thanks dude your the best

**eGPS
What is eGPS you ask? Talk about cutting edge, this stuff was just officially announced by the UK company CSR in February. Basically it’s like aGPS but better. Way better. (In fairness, Qualcomm has their gpsOneXTRA to compete)

A typical eGPS push-to-fix will be available in less than 4 seconds, accurate to within 10 meters and require the equivalent power of less than 1 second of handset talk time.



I just wet my pants

I am with VZN right now and IF they get it they will cut functions out I think. We will be moving to Texas and the area is Sprint we'll be living in so maybe Sprint will carry it and it will be loaded?

Let's hope so, but it's way too early to tell.

The Mogul has the GPSOne chipset included as part of the MSM7500 chipset (as you can see in its specs here). If you read the charts on the Mogul replacement you see that it runs the MSM7500A which is identical to the MSM7500 in the mogul except that it is manufactured on a 65nm process instead of a 90nm process as indicated in these Qualcomm documents (PDF, chart on the 4th from last page). If you read the GPSOne wikipedia article you'll see its an AGPS chipset. It can run in four modes



A-GPS is better than GPS because it can use an assistance server when needed in many ways:

OWNED! LOL
