Guest Syphon Filter Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) I think it will... the Diamond was supposed to have haptics but they didn't get a satisfactory experience in time for launch. When you play the rolly-ball game, you can feel the motors in there :D P I believe that is just the vibration motor at work in that game. The combination of your eyes seeing the ball impact the side of the screen at a particular point and the vibration of the motor (which can vary it's intensity/vibration time) tricks your brain into thinking it;s a localised feedback. Or is there definitive evidence there are a number of motors providing true localised feedback Edited June 19, 2008 by Syphon Filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timeline Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Does it work with the extUSB adapter? The TYTNII and Polaris cannot charge and listen at the same time due to poor design electrical interference can be heard the moment the charge is plugged in. The same adapter works fine on htc elf/elfins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neilg Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Does email and other messaging rotate to landscape or is it stuck in portrait mode? Are there any enhancements to the WM interface for reading/sending/creating email and other messages that HTC has added? thanks n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Email and messaging don't rotate. The enhancements are minor, things like the scrolly zoom wheel works in messaging apps, big finger friendly menus... I think that's pretty much it bar access to the mails etc. directly in Touchflo 3D... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T39andcounting Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I was in the Orange store on Oxford Street (by Bond Street Tube) yesterday and they have the plastic model of this out the back. He let me have a look and it felt really small and neat, although screen also looked very small. Can't tell much from one of those mock-ups though. They guy (store manager I think) told me it'd be available on Orange in July, and the Raphael should be on Orange soon after (August or September). My contract is due for renewal in July... sweet!

Guest Simon Desser Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) So the wheel will scroll in some applications? No it just zooms in and out in Word and messaging to increase or decrease font sizes, and in Opera and on pictures in HTC Album.

Guest blackhorse Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) We are expecting launch very shortly, sorry i cant provide details as to time scales.

Guest LeiChat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Cheers Paul... Presuming I can still sync with Outlook, does it use the contact picture from there in that lovely flow interface?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Dont know if I missed reasing this, but does the screen feel hard... ...like iPhone glass? ...like the Touch? Hard... it's tempered glass. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syphon Filter Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hard... it's tempered glass. P I think what he means is does it have a membrane over it. With it being a resistive touch screen (like past HTC devices) there surely is a membrane over the top of the tempered glass. The iPhone, on the other hand, has a capacitive screen right, means it doesnt have that ever so slightly flexible layer over the glass. Or am I WAY off base here?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Correct, the touch bit is outside the glass (by necessity), but it FEELS like you're just touching glass. It doesn't move at all. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thelondonthing Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) CoolSmartPhone is reporting here that Vodafone is set to launch the Diamond on PAYG (yes, that's right - without a contract) for just £230.00. Extracted from Vodafone brochure (courtesy of CoolSmartPhone): A Vodafone manager has apparently confirmed that this is the intended price - for the handset on PAYG but locked to the Vodafone network - and that it will be available from July 22.

Guest Syphon Filter Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 ROFL. That picture is funny. "Turbo 3G", lol. £230 handset only sounds great. Get it unlocked any you're away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, so all the chavs on the street corners will be toteing this and blaring out their music on it's tiny speaker? That'll be one reason not to buy it!
