::unwired - Hands-on with the O2 Xda diamond pro Windows Mobile Smartphone
Arne Hess over at the :unwired has managed to get his hands briefly on the German Xda Diamond Pro (HTC Raphael). He says:
In the addition to the previous Photoview, I also had the chance to play some extra minutes with O2 Germany's Xda diamond pro, aka the HTC Touch Pro, to record a first hands-on Videoview of O2's (and HTC's) latest Windows Mobile smartphone. As you can see in the video, the footprint of the device is really small - quite similar to the HTC Touch Diamond. However, the Pro is nearly double as thick as the Touch Diamond. But the full-size QWERTZ(Y) keyboard is quite good, even if you think that the device is so small. On the backside you have the same 3.2 Megapixel autofocus camera as used for the Touch Diamond but this time it gets a LED photo-light supported.
So why not pop over and view the video, well worth watching as it gives good idea of the size, memory, speed and capabilities of the revised Touch 3D which has been enhanced since that seen on the Diamond. |

Excellent device if you want the hardware keyboard.

Slobber... I noticed the vid over at Arne's as I've been following him on twitter, was going to post it here but Windows beat me to it!!
It's a little thicker than I was imagining, but I think it's pipped the Xperia for me! |
