Re: WiMax Touch HD?

Personally rather have the HD than the TP2. I already mastered touchpal on my Diamond so a 3.8" HD with touchpal or even full qwerty should be just fine. The extra screen space is a plus but the thinness is what wins me over. I wear them tight jeans so the bulge from the TP2 would be out of hand :P. But if the HD doesn't come out, I'll settle for the TP2. By the time tegra/snapdragon come to the sprint, I'll most likely be due for another upgrade.

HD all the way! i've been feigning it since it was slated for release on GSM, even thought about leavin my SERO+pick3 and 10% off for it, but i'm not that rich..yet.
5mp cam, flash, headphone jack, huge screen, wimax. i hope so. I've got 3 2-yr contracts that are up- waiting to get a couple new toys...

I also wanted when I saw it last year. but with TP2 is coming, I like TP2 better. HD is too wide for your pocket. it is like a PDA. TP2 is not as wide but longer, like a phone.

Two quick points:

1. TP2 doesn't have wimax from anything I've seen.

2. IT IS A PDA!!!! Call me crazy, but I don't understand the outrage over device size.. I bought a WM phone so I wouldn't have to carry my phone AND a PDA anymore.. I appreciate the fact that they're making it into a better PDA, as opposed to continuing to make a marginal PDA for the sake of maintaining size... I'd rather carry a functional brick than a crippled PDA that feels like a "phone"

true that tp2 does not have winmax. but winmax is expensive I bet unless you are rich. by next year, there will be more advanced phones with wm7 and capacitive screen.

tp2 is not as wide as a PDA

Re: WiMax Touch HD?

HD is a very nice device but ever since the 6700 I've been really digging the slide out keyboards & every year they seem to get better... so I'll pass...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?

Haha. its obviously a good choice over the diamond 2 considering everyone has naturally turned to comparing it to the tp2 and an issue over the keyboard...

Re: WiMax Touch HD?

one more thing I learn is that it is hard to get new ROM quickly for Diamond since most ROM chefs here were moving to TP1. I assume that most chef will get TP2 also. so ROM for TP2 will be more and released quicker than HD/Dimand 2.


TP2 will have GSM while HD won't

Re: WiMax Touch HD?

Yes, I agree the HD is hands down a better choice if someone was choosing between the D2 and the HD...

Of course that's just my humbled opinion
