Hopefully, it seems as though with every phone release HTC improves a lot but takes a giant step back in one area.

Well, as long as people know how to smish tf3d from 800x480 to 640x480, I'm expecting it on both the original Diamond and Pro by the end of the summer. I am not going to upgrade from my Diamond to the Diamond2 unless it only costs me $25 or less. I'll just wait for a Tegra phone with WinMo 7.

200 extra pixels on the screen, 1.8 megapixels, and a microSD card slot aren't worth another $250.

The 2's have the same friggin chipset!

I really dont like that zoom bar. It just looks out of place.

Um.... I think im gonna wait till the first Nvidia device comes to Sprint. Im not wasting any more money on a Qualcomm based device unless its a Dumbphone. If qualcomm is smart they would create a Radio only version of their newest chipset for EVDO and Voice and let Nvidia handle the CPU/GPU aspect of things.

Some will just wait for a new one, because money is tight now a days. I am lucky to be able to buy another phone. I will have my piece of dirt Mogul, the TP and the TP2 or D2.

Im still looking at the TG01 but it may be too big, still want to see whats up with that HTC Snagdragon phone.

Snapdragon and that is a chipset from qualcomm, not an actual phone.

As soon as WM 6.5 is released, I would almost say that MS won't mind.
The problem they have had so far, some roms had 6.5 stuff in there, and they haven't even released 6.5 yet.

I wouldn't write of snapgragon that quick. It combined with Nvidia's Tegra, and ARM's new CPU's is going to make the possibility of some major enhancements in the phone market a real possibity, not to mention price competition. But whether the manufactures/carriers put it to use is another matter.

These devices were just announced 2 days ago. Supposedly they will be out in Europe/Asia third quarter or later. There hasn't even been an announcement that they will be available in the US yet, that I have seen. They probably will be, but then the Touch HD isn't, so who knows. If they are, we probably won't see them until late in the year, or early next year.
