Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 announced by HTC

Looks sweet. Still, camera flash (flashlight) is a poor tradeoff with the mute button.

they both look great... can't wait ...

I like the flushed out keyboard, the TP keyboard keys are crammed too close together. It's not a major upgrade, but I'll likely take the bait anyway. I just hope HTC fixed the overheating issues from the first gen Touch Pros (although I doubt it).

At least I have something to look forward too...and I can start saving now, lol.

my favorite is the landscape TF3D . . .

i dont think either of these qualify as a touchhd equivelent or "better release" like htc said in the past.

neither design is beautiful as the hd, neither have the same size screen as the hd (hd is still larger), and neither have a 3.5mm headphone jack.

discuss.

Yeah, almost, except for all the buttons and freakin' full QWERTY. Really looks like an iPhone


Did I lay the sarcasm on thick enough?

Seems strange that they are releasing these phone when HTC announced that they will be releasing Snapdragon (1GHz of CPU power) based handsets in Q2 2009, I think I will wait and see what comes out next.

The Touch HD has a 3.8" 480X800 and the Touch Pro 2 has a 3.6" with same resolution. I would prefer to have the Touch Pro 2 or even the Diamond 2 for that matter. They're packing the same resolution into a small space with is going to give you a much better picture. Plus, I'd rather have a slightly smaller device. The Touch HD is just pushing the too big for my pocket barrier.

Now, not having the 3.5mm is a big disappointment. Honestly, what were they thinking?!

These phones are for the GSM networks, and from my understanding WCDMA is not the same as CDMA so us sprint users wont get them. someone correct me if im wrong.

Network

Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
