Guest twizzle Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 OK so the diamonds now out on orange, and looks cool. But i've seen the Touch pro with a keyboard (have i got the right one?? looks like diamond but with a slide out keyboard) online in reviews. Now is this just a diamond with keyboard or is it different? And is it better than teh diamond apart from the keyboard?? I have a Tytn and am due an upgrade, but would like to stick to a phone with a qwerty keyboard, but like the look of the Diamond. And finally, one review i saw says the Touch Pro is due late summer, so any ideas on dates??? or should i just go for the Diamond now? I'm going to Norwich tomorrow so will look at a display model if they have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 The HTC Raphael is very similar to the diamond other than a) qwerty keyboard - and thus its not as slim - and :D it has a micro-sd slot - instead of built in 4gb storage.

Guest LeiChat Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Pre-order pricing hints at it being £150 to £200 more than the Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rand Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Pre-order pricing hints at it being £150 to £200 more than the Diamond. it also has more memory and more memory for apps. I did notice a flash on the back in the photo's so this could be good.... i have the diamond and am loving the VGA screen and size but i think i will be changing to the Pro sometime soon after its launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IKWeb Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I know this is an old post, but does anyone know if this will be out this year, and if so which network ?

Guest Chocolicious Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 It is due out the end of Summer so you would be looking at August/September. There was a rumour that Expansys were spouting a August 4th launch meaning the networks would be getting a month later and considering in Germany T-Mobile announced they would be carrying the Touch Pro as the MDA Vario IV a month after announcing the MDA Compact IV, we should know more in August.

Guest akarno Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have noticed an apparent difference between the GPS on the Diamond and Touch Pro. Some reviews say Touch Pro has full GPS, such as: http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1351/htc-touch-pro Where as this review says it does not have full GPS: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/...he-raphael.html If you go to the HTC web site, the information differs between the Diamond and Touch Pro. In the specification for the Diamond it says: GPS and A-GPS ready Where as, for the Touch Pro it says: Internal GPS antenna Although under Device Tour is does say: Integrated GPS to be used with map software for a full turn-by-turn navigation experience. Does anyone know anthing more definative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yrreP Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 We've got a Pro at work that I have been lucky enough to play with a little... only major downside I would say is that the keyboard adds quite a bit of weight to the device - it certainly aint light!
