iPhone & HTC Touch Diamond

[Mondo]

No it hasn't stopped me





The size of the iphone might be longer and wider but it is MUCH thinner, it is probably thinner than 90% of phones out there. Only a few Samsung and Motorola Razr series is as thin. So it fits well in the pocket, it doesn't stick out like the N95 does. The only downside is I had to get a IMAT2 to give the phone better grip, I mean the ipod is fine without a case because the position you hold it at (45 degrees to horizontal), so that you can see and play with it. The iphone when making calls you hold it vertically, and it is like a soap without a case so its very easy to drop.

I have no regrets going from the N95 to the iphone at all. I don't think i even used the 3G in my N95 since my sim is from the K750i which is a 2G sim. Plus i am on PAYG so 3G would have killed my credit in minutes so i am not missing out on something i can live without.

I'm waiting for the Raphael tbh. It's the Diamond with a slide out keyboard - as I still use my XDA Exec a lot and love the keyboard it's become a must for me.

The Diamond is awfully tempting though *plus as we do mobile software at work we have contacts who are tryign to get us a couple of demo phones. *

I have the soap effect with my Razr. Very annoying. The iTouch is so thin its great. Its nice to only have the one bulge in my pants But I'm just not sure I need two identical devices.

If you want something that size look at the E51 Its what i use because its so so much smaller.

You lose out on 5mp camera and GPS but also a lot of weight!

I use a keyring GPS which i think works out better for both anyway

I've finished my mobile contract, just counting down the days till the 3G iPhone is out

I need a job so I can get the N95 8gb.

Although I've just got:

12 months
£8 P/M
Nokia 6300
75 minutes
100 texts

When I get a job I'll buy this out and get the Nokia N95 8gb/Sony Xperia X1.

My contract runs out at the end of next month. Hopefully by then the Diamond will be available and will see how much it costs. I'm not a heavy user though so I think it could be out of my "prepared to pay" range.

This is *the* killer device

Slimer than the last one as well

The Apple bods are going to be hopping mad about that. I expect lawsuits, even if it is only a few days before. :/

Still, you're right. That's finally going to give the latest HTC phones a run for their money. There's still the whole cost/contract tie-in problem though so I'm not sure if it's quite killer yet. I got my current device for £50 and £27/mo. Do that with an iPhone (though I admit there have also been rumours Apple will drop the rule about subsidies).
