New HTC phone, The juicy delicious Touch Pro Options

[impala454]

HTC (maker of the pocket pc phones that sprint & verizon use), is supposedly coming out with a new one this september, codenamed "raphael". thing looks kick ass, this is the only known picture of it so far:

looks way thinner than the current model, the mogul. 2.8" screen with friggin 640x480 res, 3 megapixel camera, full slide out kb just like the current model has, and WM6.1. this sucker will be my next phone.

No display specs beyond resolution? :-\

Dunno, I'd never get a phone like that to begin with. Not into the whole handheld device thing; rather use a laptop or desktop when I get to one.

trust me I dug around, coudn't find jack about either display's color depth. though I'd venture a guess that the touch pro is prob 16 bit color.

well to each his own. I don't really browse the internet all the time with mine, though it does come in handy. the biggest features I use the most often are simply having an easy way to sync up all my contacts/calendar items, as well as having quick access to search googlemaps (including using the GPS). some people check their email all the time with them, but I don't. I never used to use the calendar stuff, but once I got a phone that syncs, it's invaluable (especially given how forgetful I am). I put everything on there. holidays, people's birthdays, paydays, my sports team schedules, work meetings, event dates, hell even stuff like an item being released on a certain date that I want to get.
