Guest Leaskovski Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I just cant see what the difference is between some of these devices. We need specs to see what is actually good and what is pap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't see why everyone is so up in arms over these handsets. Yes, clearly they are a refresh of last years handsets, but the originals were all brand new in terms of design AND architecture! HTC have always released refreshes before new lines. Roll on 2010, I say :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 At a glance its definitely too many same same devices. Still use the ol C550 as an everyday device even if it has a cracked outer screen. In my job a touch sceen could not be carried around all day.

Guest Jakob Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think it is quite interesting that a large number of die-hard Windows mobile users preferes a PHONE - not a PDA: Wake up, HTC !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philg2000 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 ??? - according to my calculator the Touch Pro is >30% larger than the i200 SGH i200 = 70,4cubic centimeters Touch Pro = 93,6cubic centimeters /J You might wanna change your calculator! According to Expansys: i200: 112.5 x 58 x 21.25 TP: 102 x 51 x 18.05 Seems Expansys think the i200 is bigger in all aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - but Expansys got the i200 size wrong - its (H X B X D) 116,7 x 50,8 x 11,8 mm according to samsung Samsung.dk and my ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ptwilliams Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) I see HTC have just released the new Touch variant to the Cruise... wonder if thats a sign that the new version of the Touch Dual... the Titanium... is on its way! Hope so :) Edited January 24, 2009 by ptwilliams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so :) oh how i wish this were true....rumors on the net only say in may though, which is too late for me as my contract just ended :D im gonna have to take the touchHD if nothing appears soon :) i wanted at least a sony ericsson xperia, since a qwerty keyboard is better than nothing....but im out of luck i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up always reverting to my SPV C600 (still in my eyes THE best SPV series they released, and I've owned them all!) The Touch Dual just really fits my needs perfectly. Its an excellent handset and really, really hoping they release the Touch variant with the 12 or 20 key pad. Shall be watching with baited breath - only then of course to be wondering when the hell Orange will actually release it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an excellent handset and really, really hoping they release the Touch variant with the 12 or 20 key pad. Shall be watching with baited breath - only then of course to be wondering when the hell Orange will actually release it!! i agree completely. i loved my C500, which has now been handed down to my girlfriend after i got the touch dual. i've had loads of phones and pda's, but the only two windows mobile ones i really miss are the touch dual and the C500. I was contemplating getting a C600 on ebay to use as a spare phone.... i bit the bullet and ordered the touch HD. i've been using it as my primary phone for the past two weeks, and im really liking it. the lack of a hardware keypad and buttons do annoy me from time to time, but that large screen is simply gorgeous. i can type quite fast using the on screen phone keypad (T9). not as fast and intuitive as my touch dual's keypad, but good enough. i was in newcastle on the road over the weekend and i was logged onto MSN constantly, chatting a lot. im quite liking it!! i guess im used to an on screen t9 pad from when i had my HTC Universal (SPV M5000) quite satisfied with my setup now, HD as my main phone, touch Dual as my secondary phone. its quite worrying that the Titanium seems to have disappeared. a touch dual with a wvga screen, and possibly the new snapdragon platform with a 1ghz processor would be perfect :) have to admit though, the transition to the touch HD has been a lot easier than i thought!!

Guest G1LIW Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I moved on from my old SPV C600 to an HP iPaq HW9615 for three reasons: 1. It has WiFi. the C600 does not. 2. It has a built-in GPS receiver. The C600 does not. 3. It has all of the above in one device, not two. Means less to cart about and forget/lose/get stolen from oneself or ones' car. I've been monitoring current offerings, and any replacement would have to meet the same specs as the Touch Pro 2 - http://www.htc.com/uk/product/touchpro2/specification.html - with the addition of 3G connectivity, which the TP2 does not have. Wonder if the specs for the new HTC crop will include something to match the above requirement? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 with the addition of 3G connectivity, which the TP2 does not have. Oh dear... I take it that you don't actually realise that HSDPA/WCDMA: * Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz * Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds Is what is common;y referred to as 3.5G and is a superset of 3G? They don't mention 3G because theirs does 3G a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I did NOT notice that, but then I expect to be told a great many things in plain English, "koz I'z fik, innit (even wivaht chilli sauce)" :P Cheers for that :( Looks like I've actually identified (with a nudge from Confucious, lol) what my next phone's gonna be B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest G1LIW Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 cheers for that, lol :( I'd imagine a fair few: Most of us are conditioned to actually look for the magic number and letter 3G these days, after all. methinks someone in their marketing department needs a good swift kick somewhere rather sensitive B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
