Re: HTC bringing VGA displays to sprint: Raphnel and Diamond

honestly i dont really see the purpose in coming out with both of these devices if the ONLY difference is one has a keyboard an the other doesnt.. they both look pretty then an since both have wifi and touchflo.. it would seem more ideal to jus go ahead an get the one with the keyboard, jus in case you felt the need to use it.. does anyone know any real differences between the phones.. besides the obvious?

Windows Mobile will always be a fat slow bastard compared to OSs designed and optimized for mobile devices like iPhone and likely Android.

it looks like they are NOT vga.
That's a good eyeball courtlandre, the "main display pixels" column is "TBD", so it looks like it can go either way.

That's not necessarily accurate. Yes, we can all go on and on about how much better WM is than the iPhone (Android may give it a run for its money... maybe), but I don't think any of us would disagree that it IS slow and bloated in comparison to the iPhone. There are reasons for this, and they're partially the trade-off to our OS being open to unverified third-party applications and multi-tasking, but that doesn't make it untrue that WM sucks from a performance standpoint. If slick design and performance were my ONLY needs, I'd probably get an iPhone. They're not, and they never will be now that I'm used to what I can get from one of these. But do I wish it performed as smoothly as an iPhone (minus all the crashes people don't talk about)? I'd be a fool not to.

I'm sure with enough RAM and tweaks there are noticeable improvements, but I still hear the hardcore users complaining about the best of the WM-based devices. The OS in its current state simply does not compete on these factors. That's why 7 is being so highly-anticipated.
