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. |

It's proprietary. There's not much info on the phone yet, but Sprint is planning to spend $100 million on marketing.

New info for these phones:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/More-infor...cle-a_3021.html QUOTE First, HTC Touch Diamond will be called HTC Victor for Sprint and HTC Diamond for Verizon. Sprint’s variant runs on Qualcomm 7501A chipset with 528MHz processor, 256MB ROM, 256MB RAM and 4GB internal memory. Verizon’s runs on Qualcomm 7500 chipset with 400MHz processor, has half the RAM (128MB) and has microSD cards slot instead of 4GB NAND flash. Sprint’s Victor will have an accelerometer (Motion G Sensor), Rev.A straight out of the box, and aluminum frame. Verizon’s Diamond lacks the sensor, is Rev.A upgradable and has stainless steel frame. Other features seem to be similar to the GSM model and identical for both, including 2.8†VGA display, 3.2MP autofocus camera, TouchFLO 3D, Opera browser and YouTube client. The CDMA equivalent of the HTC Touch Pro will be called HTC Herman for Sprint and HTC Raphael for Verizon. They are QWERTY variants of respectively the Victor and the Diamond and have similar specifications, but twice the ROM memory (512MB for both). Herman trades Victor’s 4GB for memory card slot and Raphael’s frame is also made out of aluminum instead of steel. A few of our readers report that the Victor will be available with Sprint on September 02, 2008, and the Herman will come one month later. There is no exact information when Verizon Wireless will release the Diamond and the Raphael, but it is expected that Sprint will have 30 days exclusivity. The "Herman" is the one I think I'll end up with. Glad to see some dates finally.

yeah i was actually reading up on these yesterday, glad to finally get some confirmation that the "Herman" (ugh shitty name) will have external storage. 4gb internal doesn't mean shit to me if I have to carry around a cable or bluetooth adapter/driver stack just to put shit on it. the more i hear about this phone the more psyched I am. I'll be there on release day.

QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Aug 14 2008, 11:38 PM) that iphone looks way more colorful, probably because almost everything on the HTC screen in that particular pic is gray & black...  . It's Windows Mobile, you can customize it to look however you want. Also the screen on the HTC (despite being a little smaller) has twice the resolution. (640x480 vs 480x320)QUOTE (jonathan83 @ Aug 14 2008, 11:38 PM) and good luck typing on that "huge" keyboard. lol. i have the asus eee and its keyboard is bigger than that one...let me tell you, its not that easy. I have the current HTC pocketpc phone which has a very similar keyboard and it works very well, no luck needed. And the physical slide out of the phone extends further on this one which allows for an extra row at the top for numbers, so it will be even better. here's what I have now:
