Nippy, dear chap, is a term, meant to imply speedy, rapid, quick.
The joke is that British tennis players are not reknowned for there speed on court.
To sum up, the article author is implying , if i'm correct, that the Touch Diamond is not the fastest WM device on the block. And to compare, he states he's a regular user of the older Touch model.
Bring on the X1 discussion! Still crap, is it?

Sorry, Different to what?
Do you mean how different will it be to X1 when both hit the streets, or
How different is Touch to Touch Diamond?
Sorry, again. My bad. you mean the Touch Pro (Raphael) Dont you.

Yeah, I mean Diamond compared to Touch Pro, speed-wise.

Yeah. I think it depends on a few things.
I can see SE ending up with the accelerometer, cos my guess is that the Diamond/Diamond pro/ SEX1 motherbord is pretty much the same.
I'm not sure how much RAM the Diamond Pro will end up with, but as above, if they stick 256 in the x1 for SE, why not do it for their own Diamond?
The keyboard will be a personal preference. I'm liking the look of the X1 keyboard more than the Diamond Pro, but until i get my fingers on it, i wont know for sure.
At this time, i cant tell if there are any other major differences, Hardware wise.
Loving Bengal Boys review so far.

The best thing about the BengalBoy review is it's interactive. I left a few questions over there, but, I can't check for the answers yet because they don't let us look at kittens while at work.  |

I wouldn't necessarily expect the Touch Pro to be "nippy", although it may well benefit from being slightly later in the development cycle than the Diamond (you can bet the Diamond will get faster ROMs soon enough). It will be a reliable workhorse though, and it'll be cheaply available from every network, before the "premium" X1 gets out the door. It remains the sensible choice for anyone after a decent WM handset (who's not wedded to SE).
Incidentally, I can't imagine anything less likely to sell me a phone than "bengalboy's" recommendation...

I’ve been using the HTC Touch as my regular phone for over a year, so I won’t deny it. I jumped up and down a bit, such was my excitement to hear about the new “improved” version - the HTC Touch Diamond. And I was almost buzzing with anticipation when it arrived in the office yesterday.
But I’ll be honest. My first few experiences with the phone have dampened my ardour. It looks quite nice, with its diamondesque back and glass-dominated front, but it’s so slow it makes a British tennis player look nippy around the court.
I have to react: I have the diamond since 7 days, there are already 5/6 new roms available, I already flashed it with 2 different roms, and my diamond is really really fast.
Plus, TF3D is awesome (functionnality+speed+beauty), the only times you see WM interface is for advanced settings, calendar or 3rd party apps. |

Sounds great that things are beautified. But, 5 or 6 ROMs already available? Diamond just hit the market didn't it? What are those updates addressing? Did HTC rush this thing to the market or something. |

I'm a newby at all those rom thing, but the first diamonds available on the net were imported from hong-kong, that was the first HTC rom. Then it was available in other countries and there is now a "asia rom", "UK rom", "french rom" etc that fixes some bugs, + other improved hand-made rom by xda-developpers
