VGA is most commonly used to refer to the resolution of the screen, although as has been pointed out, it also contains a standard color range, as well, which is what this may be referencing. Anyway, VGA is 640x480. The Mogul's screen is 320x240, or QVGA (quarter video graphics array).

It's possible but we've been given no indication that they are referring to color and/or only color.

Right! Why make a 2.8" VGA display? I don't know why manufacturers do this. There is little point in having a VGA display, but scaling everything to the level of 240x320 so that it displays at a reasonable size on the screen. Put a 640x480 3.5" screen on the devices already! Then web browsing, e-book reading, etc wouldn't be so painful.

Wrong thread, at the very least, and complete lack of effort. This entire site is full of such information. Look for the Vogue forum for specific information on that phone, or the Software forum for software. A quick glance at the main list of forums should take far less time than posting in an unrelated thread and asking us for help.

I know the Curve is the same Res as the Mogul, but something about it looked more crisp or something, idk how to describe it. But Ive never seen anything that clear on the Mogul

My Expectation are

3 Inch Screen Wide VGA screen
3 Mega Pixel Camera (I dont care as i use DSLR)
256 MB Ram or else Windows 7 will not run with that smoothness
Hardware Acceleration driver for Video
Atleast 1 GB ROM you know Windows 7 will eat at least 400 mb of space
Class 6 SDHC Hardware for Faster Writing and reading of SDHC cards
Weight no more than 130 to 140 Grams
at least 1400 mAh Battery
24bit Color Depth ( 6800 has 16bit Colour Depth)
Full Glossy, Scratch Resistance Screen

You have some of those specs right and some wrong (900mah battery!).

It will have an accelerometer.

Read the story for all the updated specs and details....!

--> More details: HTC Diamond and Raphael = Touch Diamond & Touch Pro

In case you don't want to read that link, here are the updated specs:

* Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
* Qualcomm MSM 7201A @ 528MHz
* 256MB ROM / 128MB RAM
* 7.2MB HSDPA / HSUPA (rev A EVDO for Sprint versions)
* 2.8" VGA screen
* WiFi
* Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
* eGPS **See below
* 3.1MP Camera with flash
* Forward facing camera
* 4GB internal flash storage (Diamond only) - Samsung MoviNAND
* TV out (Raphael only)
* Orientation sensor (a-la-iPhone)
* FM Radio
* microSD expansion
* 900mAh battery (!!!)
* Diamond: 51x99x10.7mm
* Raphael: 51x99x17mm

**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.
