Has the screen responsiveness and sensitivity been increased to match that which we get in the Iphone, or does it still feel like any ordinary windows mobile "resistive touchscreen"?

Can you turn of the fancy dan interface and just have the default WM6 home screen if you wish?

The interface is the point of this device!
If you don't like it get a Touch Cruise! This post has been edited by shootydogthing: May 6 2008, 16:36 |

I know, but it's nice to be able to turn if off if you end up not liking it. I turned off the HTC Home plug-in on my Vario III after a day or two. It was hindering my productivity. |

Fair enough. But I have no idea. Ask HTC perhaps?

one thing I think i'd want to be able to turn off is the photo contact and just scroll through a list of names. As nice a feature it is out all my contact's im not going to have a photo for all of them.......or want a photo of some...

Certainly with the old TouchFLO it still allows contacts with no picture, and you select which contacts are there at all. There'll be another contacts system behind this |

Well a nice upgrade ..... but nothing particularly exciting really !! And all this hype just for the launch of only one phone in the range ?!
 Actually, from previous speculation it's a bit of a disappointment to be honest = - slightly bigger than expected - no microSD slot - aGPS instead of eGPS - no flash on Camera Oh well, I'll still be getting one as soon as T-mob release them ..... but I doubt I'll be keeping it once the SEX1 or Android arrives !  Was secretly hoping HTC might have broken new ground in cost too ..... but it looks like it'll be around the same price as the Vario 3 
-------------------- JAM version 5 is gonna be soooo sweeeet :D ....
All Band & All Data = like the Tytn !! Super Hi Res Screen = in 2008 ? Yup, like the Raphael !! Super Fast CPU = like the Kaiser !! Super Long Life Battery = in 2009 ? Built in GPS Sat Nav = like the TyTn !! Television & Radio Reception = in 2008 ? Yup, like the N96 !! Playstation Emulator = in 2008 ? Yup, like N-Gage !! 5MP Camera with Flash & Zoom = in 2008 ? Yup, like the G800 !! 128GB Storage = in 2010 ? Even Smaller & Lighter = like the Xperia X1 !! Cant wait to keep upgrading :) |

Come on, you can't expect more advanced technology to be cheaper

Technology always gets cheaper dude !!
I remember paying an arm and leg for 56K Dial Up ..... I can now get 8Mb Broadband for Free !!  Years ago when the very latest 1Gb SD cards were first released, they cost about £80 ..... today the very latest 16Gb SD card costs about half that !  PPC's have been around long enough now for them to be coming down in price ..... especially when the new devices are not all that revolutionary !

So I should expect a Core 2 Quad to be cheaper than a Core 2 Duo from last year
(i don't know if they are, I'm just making an example. Possibly a bad one. I don't know. Don't judge me) |

I don't know about CPU stuff ..... but yes, for example you should expect a new 40" LCD TV to be more advanced, better quality and lower in price than a 40" LCD from a few years ago .....

I'm guessing more, judging from the spy shots. But they could be wrong, I suppose.
There will be a successor to the Kaiser before too long though. "but yes, for example you should expect a new 40" LCD TV to be more advanced, better quality and lower in price than a 40" LCD from a few years ago ....." The Kaiser is not a few years ago though. It's 1. It's dropped in price gradually though. Wait a little longer and it will be cheaper. |

I'm really shocked so many people are putting a downer on this phone.
I thought we were going to have till 2009 and WinMo 7 to get a modern interface on Winmo handset. Just think this is just the entry level version, all the new HTC Winmo phones will have this Gui and I'm sure updated versions of it. So when the replacements for Touch and PDA and Smartphones series are released there will be a varity of options and specs. I've had Winmo phones since the orignal SPV i think this will be the first time ill be able show my mates that i have cool phone instead of telling i have it because i need for work. |

I like a lot of the touches, but as soon as you drop back to the MS apps the same old issues of usability come back.
Come on MS. Don't expect the OEMs to do all the work for you! It is a nice device, but my next one will probably have QWERTY again (I miss it) so it's the Raphael for me I think. |

HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch DD (Dual Diamond), and HTC Touch Cruise Diamond? Or... HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Dual 2, and Touch Cruise 2.
