BTW any of you guys see the new Touchflo 3d videos on the Diamond? I'm telling you my Touch is going on Ebay as soon as this baby comes out for Sprint

Look at all the videos posted by HTC especially the animated Weather. WOW is all I have to say.

The 4GB internal storage does not carry over because the Raph has a mSD slot, the Diamond does not.

All the articles states the Diamond did have a microSD card slot. Has this changed?

Yup it looks like it's been changed for the 4gb of ram.

HTC's Diamond specs don't list a MicroSD slot anymore.

I would be really disappointed if they no longer plan on including a microSD slot. 4GB is nice, but I like being able to use my SD on multiple devices.

The mSD slot added 2mm to the thickness of the phone and it appears HTC's goal with this phone was to make it as sleek as possible. At least they didn't shaft you guys and only give you 256MB of ROM.

so does any body know when will here about the Raphael?

**TurboFool** · #**207** (**permalink**) 05-06-2008, 02:41 PM

Well, the Diamond appears to be relatively frickin' sweet based on what I've seen. Assuming the Raphael is all this and more, I'm going to be one happy person.

My only concern is how hardcore they're going with TouchFLOW 3D. They're claiming they're trying to hide Windows Mobile as much as possible, and that the average user won't even know it's Windows Mobile. As long as this doesn't prevent me from using Windows Mobile the normal ways, as well, I'll be happy. I just hope they don't block out some of my needs in the process of "improving" it.

I cant wait for the Raphnel. Its gonna be a great phone as well. we wont be able to sell our Moguls anywhere with phone like these coming out

**TurboFool** · #**209** (**permalink**) 05-06-2008, 04:48 PM

Can anyone edit the typo in the topic? It's Raphael. People keep reading that and none of the links and believe it's actually called Raphnel.
