Paul (MVP) and I are proud to give you the return of the MoDaCo WinMo Week podcast!
After a brief(ish) siesta while I was finishing University exams and coursework, and Paul was on an *extensive* holiday wink.gif , we're both back in the discussion hotseats bringing you and episode dedicated to catching up on some of the most exciting new handsets recently released and coming soon.

In this weeks 55 minute episode we're talking about:
  • Atom V sponsored device
  • HTC Touch Diamond Launch
  • HTC Touch Pro/Vario IV Pictures and Specs
  • The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1
  • and the Samsung i900 "Omnia"
...with surprisingly few tangents this week (we spent too long drooling over the Diamond we think wink.gif )

As with all our shows, this episode is available in standard MP3 format or as an enhanced M4A format with chapters, images and links for use on an iPod or in iTunes. You can get the podcast in the following ways:Your feedback is really valuable and will tell us whether it is worth our while to continue running the podcasts! Do you listen? What do you like?

Interesting views on the Diamond, I'm trying not to jump on the "I want one" bandwaggon just because its new, but as you have both now played with the device and given positive feedback its cetainly tempting. I'll have to wait until the highstreet stores stock them before I can have a play with one and make my own mind up but certainly sounds good.

Regarding the Omnia having 16GB storage and a microSD slot, that will come in handy with GPS apps like Garmin, iGO and others that insist on selling their software locked to a card.

I personally favour this over the Diamond mainly because of the screen, it may be WQVGA but its 3.2 inches and that makes browsing and watching videos that much better.

Great to have the podcast back guys, not sure about your views on the Diamond, for me the Touch Flo UI is just not good enough, it is still way too slow and laggy even with the latest rom, also battery life, mine does not even last me a day with hsdpa and a few phone calls and push email, no way will it last 48 hours and when it warns you that it is going flat you have five minutes and boom it shuts off.

Glad everyone is enjoying our return biggrin.gif

Chris - i've read about the issues with lagginess of the TouchFlo 3D interface but I really haven't experienced anything on my Diamond that comes close to being an issue. Hopefully the new update will improve things for you!
