Guest penguin Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 why do they have to make my choices difficult! Stilling waiting for the Vario 4 & it looks like the X1 will be out around the same time & now this! (Oh on a side note will you be blogging from the X1 launch?)

Guest 1Mack Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If this has a sizable internal HD it is so mine ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rorydaredking Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Nice! If it is a mid level device with HSDPA and no GPS it's mine. GPS just seems to make devices really really expensive (Diamond) Rory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm confused by the 312MB storage size in the screenshot... is that internal storage? SD? Something else? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gazbert Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If this has a sizable internal HD it is so mine ;) 6 months till I can upgrade on T-Mob. With the pace of development I wonder what'll be top of the tree when I come to upgrade from my TytnII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syphon Filter Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Christ, I JUST got my Touch Pro...this is looking like a "better" device now. In all honesty the on-screen keyboard is so good you dont really need the hardware qwerty. This thing has the same ROM/RAM spec so the performance should be just as good. Damn man. I feel a bit cheated now. Might have to dump the Touch Pro on the missus and get myself one of these!! EDIT: Anyone else notice the lack of D-Pad on this?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 In reality, I never really use the dpad on my Omnia, i've kinda trained myself not to though because I don't like the optical joystick very much ;) On that basis, I can live with it. SF, how are you finding the TP? I have mine now, and simply don't like the form factor. Device is fast etc. etc., but it IS - as I feared - just too 'chunky'...

Hmmm, I was thinking a Touch Pro and an Omnia but not maybe a Touch Pro and one of these! Would prefer it to have GPS though..... BTW, Paul - is that chunky compared to my Vario II or just chunky compared to your Omnia/Diamond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlangeArtist Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If it ends up also having GPS, then my Diamond will be getting the "hand-down" treatment!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 The proportions feel a bit wrong to me. It's definitely fat compared to the omnia / diamond, but because it's thin and short, the fatness makes it feel fatter than the Kaiser, even if it isn't. If that makes any sense ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF, how are you finding the TP? I have mine now, and simply don't like the form factor. Device is fast etc. etc., but it IS - as I feared - just too 'chunky'... P I like the Touch Pro a lot, but the screen resolution of this would be a draw. I hardly use the hardware qwerty of the TP, the new on screen keyboards are so good there's just no need. I dont find it chunky but then coming from a Kaiser/Hermes/Wizard in the past I guess you just dont notice. This is looking like a serious winner. Higher screen res (to compete with X1 I bet), still looks just as thin as a Diamond. I could be tempted, flog the TP and get one of these instead? Missus wanted a TP so I could give her mine, get a new Compact or Vario IV on her upgrade to flog on ebay and get one of these for myself... Also, how do Diamond users feel about this? Two flagship devices just came out and now they bring out one (literally within a month of the TP) that is in some ways better... EDIT: We need more info too: 1. Internal storage? 2. SD slot? 3. GPS? 4. TV out? 5. Dimensions? Edited September 10, 2008 by Syphon Filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 There has to be some 'catch' with the HD to stop it stomping all over the Diamond, surely? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
