I would MOST DEFINETLY take this over the X1. IMO this looks a lot better and TouchFlo3D sounds great.
Phone: iPhone 15 Pro Max Black Ti 512GB
Tablet: iPad Pro 11” 2020 Space Gray 256GB
Watch: Series 3 Nike Edition Space Gray
Droid: Huawei Mate 40 Pro 256GB |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the X1 has a GPS chip, but the Touch Diamond and Diamond Pro do.
GPS is gonna be a 'basic' feature for WM phones by the end of the year.
Kinda sucks.
I still do like the X1 design and size but this Raphael is really nice. |

I currently own a P1i and as much as I like it, I've never owned a WM device before so fancy a change.
The other difference between the X1 and Touch Pro is the implementation of the ATI Imageon drivers. Will SE do a better job or HTC?!
Low level stuff on the X1 has been carried out by HTC therefore graphic dirvers etc. are HTC's job on the X1.

The X1 has GPS as well but might lack the Accelerometer. The X1 also lacks VGA out, while the X1i has a ermmm... better processor than the Diamond Pro, but the X1a has the same processor as the Diamond/Diamond Pro. The X1 has a better screen although this might also result in fewer apps due to the wierd resolution.

You mention X1i and X1a, what version is coming to Europe?
I haven't seen any mention of the GPS on the whitepaper x1_wp_r3a.pdf.
I know it's been listed with aGPS on all websites except Sony eRicsson one and on the whitepaper.
Weird.
The accelerometer is a nice touch but not really a deal breaker. |

WOW this thing looks beautiful. Does it also have a flash for that 3.2MP AF camera?!
So TMobile UK gets exclusivity. I'm just hoping this can run Android (yes I have chastised it in the past; yet learning more) or WM 7 when it debuts. THIS will give this thing wings.
Oh yeah .... TV OUT!
But I think I'll still await the BB Bold or the Nokia E71; unless I get impatient and get the N82.
ANyone else notice a them of smartphones & phones lately?
LG Shine, K850i, iPhone, BB Bold, HTC Diamond/Pro (iterations), etc. ALL are HIGH GLOSS surfaces.

@ Prom1
Here is a pic of the back of the touch pro. You can clearly see that it's a LED under the cam so it's only photo light.

Hi Prom1
No sure that it will be a T-Mobile exclusive as in the past HTC has made versions for the other UK Networks as well as T-Mobile all at the same time just with branded names. Although T-Mobile may get it first i wouldn't think it would be for long period before the other Networks get their versions. I seriously doubt that HTC would now restrict sales via just one channel as opposed to 4 as that really wouldn't make much sense business wise.

Agreed with Marc (shock) it's bound to also be the Vodafone V1xxx, the Orange Touch Pro, the O2 XDA Galactica, etc etc. Same as the Tytn II is known by about 57 different names now.

Wow such a tiny speaker on the back of the Diamond Pro  .
See this looks so incredible when you're in TouchFlo3D but the minute you go deep its lam Windows Mobile Pro 6.1
Yeah BB Bold or E71 in the future - Bold a secondary thought because access to data will STILL be to expensive on my provider unless HUGE changes are made.

Is Win Mob 6.1 more "buggy" than UIQ3 ? |

No. I'm using it now (free upgrade on the Tytn II) and it's just fine.

Aha...how much commision are you on for O2's naming conventions?? 
(Although O2 XDA Cylon would tickle me pink!)
Ah, and my ON-topic comment: this should be lovely, Touch Flo already works well, and with this h/w......

Just in from PC Pro magazine (UK). Food for thought.
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/[....]/24/just-in-htc-touch-diamond/
Ive been using the HTC Touch as my regular phone for over a year, so I wont 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 Ill 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 its so slow it makes a British tennis player look nippy around the court.
For example, the 3D animated menus dont keep up with your commands - theres a full half-second lag on occasion. When you try and use Windows Mobile rather than HTCs TouchFLO interface its also slow. In fact, everythings slow.

Is that maybe becasue its not a final version? Also i read recently that the Diamond got a ROM update to improve speed of the OS but the Touch Pro should be fast anyway.
