Are those sizes right?
And any indication of the weights?

900 mAh on a device with 3G, 2.8" VGA at 528 MHz?
That'll be a battery life of 30 minutes then will it?

4Gb sounds nice, but I doubt it'd use it. I'll go for the Raphael I think, be nice to have a keyboard again.

The Raphael looks ok, but disappointed with the lack of a tilt on the screen, got to like that on my Kaiser. It will be interesting to see how it compares to teh X1 when it comes out, but since im not due to upgrade till start of next year I thik I should have some good choices, of course by that time we might have iphone ver3

That's only a guess from the pic, seems likely tho...

Is the Qualcomm 7201A chipset so much more efficient than other 3G processors that they can get away with such a minuscule battery capacity?

[PaulOBrien]

I'm guessing that can be the only reason behind it!

Trying to find any figures on power consumption between the two is an impossible task it seems!

Raphael and Titanium are sounding like winners to me. Lets hope they live up to the hype.

[surur]

I find the multi-touch screen and motion sensor really hard to believe, and I have had other insiders say the Raphael does have a tilting screen.

Its excessive hype like this which will leave people disappointed when the a perfectly good upgrade gets announced, but without all of the gwizz features.

Who said anything about a multi-touch screen?

Which bit is the excessive hype? What would you rather not be told?

[Syphon Filter]

No pleasing some people...

I like the feature list and the styling of these new phones. Seems a bit of shame, my Kaiser is barely 9 months old I think...mind you, these new devices wont be out for another 5 months or so I am betting so not too bad.

[PaulOBrien]

I like the angular look, and I think the Raphael in particular looks sweet!

Seems like your Kaiser is likely to be about a year old before you get a Raphael, perfect

Raphael looks like a winner! I am six months behind on my upgrade (shock, to anyone that knows me) so I am looking forward to these two.

Paul, can we get notified of the releases of these? It was well after xmas that I found out the Kaiser was available on Orange. By that time, I'd already talked myself out of getting one, given that O were so crap with the Tytn. I've had six of them. It would be nice to know who gets what and when, as soon as anyone knows...

Can't believe the size of those new units anyway - the sizeeasy comparison of the tytn II and the raphael beggars belief really...!

Sorry, I don't know where i saw multi-touch. However I would rather have a case of under-promise and over-deliver than the converse. Previously I had no reason to believe the Raphael would have a motion sensor, now if it doesn't I would feel something is missing.

I just noticed multi-touch is mentioned here on Tracy and Matt:

[Ovie]

Wow, looks niceeeeeeeeeee! I am really liking that diamond, if it is just 1cm thin then that would be awesome, and the 4GB is a big plus! Raphael looks pretty sexy too, I must admitt though, I am worried about this 900mAh battery!

This rocks! Who would have thought that Sprint would be the #1 CDMA carrier in picking up all these new Windows Mobile devices. You figure Verizon would get these first, as they did with the Moto Q. I do a decent amount of web browsing on my Mogul and the 640x480 resolution would be a huge improvement. The 128 megs of ram is a no brainer addition and having a flush screen makes finger only operation so much nicer. I was psyched for the Sony Xperia X1 because of the hardware, but I am even more excited for the new HTC Diamond, especially with the new HTC Manilla interface. The Sony panels look nice, but seem gimmicky, imho.

[shootydogthing]

HTC Diamond = HTC Touch Diamond (love it!)
HTC Raphael = HTC Touch Pro
HTC Titanium = HTC Touch Dual Pro

So why is the kaiser's successor called the Touch Pro?

Don't make sense to me...

And think the titanium will have the flash, the TV-out or neither?


Shame I have a year left till upgrade... I'm guessing that I'll end up with the successor to THESE, unless they take their time releasing these...


If they have Multi-Touch and HTC find a way to implement it into WinMo well... I'll want them so much

And i hope the Raphael has a tilting screen...

I'm guessing I'll be upgrading to either the Raphael or it's successor, even if i have to postpone my upgrade a month or two

Sprint = the only one that's leaked, not necessary the only or indeed the first CDMA carrier!

Kinda makes sense to me... it's a Touch device (flat bezel) and it's aimed at professionals

On or the other, if I had to hedge my bets, i'd say TV out with the 'Pro' moniker, but that is literally a guess.

I've not heard anything about multitouch, but never say never.

As I say, I think they probably dropped it for size / weight saving.

[richair]

Any more news/gossip on when the HTC Titanium (Touch Dual Pro) would be availabe? I was going to get an Asus P750, but this one seems sweet too...
