Can't wait for tomorrow !!

I think the spec of these phones is no secret now ..... but stuff I'd like to know =

Is the screen using improved technology like OLED to increase battery life ?
What is the touch mechanism, still resistive or something better ?
Does the Camera have a Macro Mode and Flash, and how effective are they ?
Does the FM Radio have RDS ?
What does it weigh ?
How long is expected battery life with average wage ?
Have they implemented Drivers properly this time !

And I'm still hoping they will have word on the Android phone !!

Perfect Device = Samsung M8920 with WinMo7 plus FM & TV Tuners !!

Hi Paul..

You probably allready know my question, but please ask it anyway, because I´m probably not the only one interested.

When will HTC release a smartphone (non-professional) and without QWERTY, but with the plain old keyboard? (Like a HTC Typhoon 2008/9-version)

A handy candybar phone with decent stand by time, wifi etc etc etc.

Actually, I might add my tuppence worth here.

The same, is what I'm waiting for... I have an Orange SPV C500 which I LOVE(!), and have never thought of getting a PDA as that's not what I'm looking for. But since the Touch Dual came out, I'm happy to go for that one, but I want something revolutionary when compared to mine, so WiFi and GPS are now, a must.

The Orange SPV E650 could have fit the bill, had it not got a QWERTY keyboard (why does a smartphone have one anyway?). And actually, the C500 was advertised as "the world's smallest smartphone". Does it still hold this record? I mean, what's with making the fatter "smartphones" (with these slide-out keyboard)?

However, my phone must have a keyboard, I don't want a phone without a keyboard! And I want a normal 1-9 one (however I'm willing to go for one of these SureType ones as all reviewers seem to endorse them).

At the moment, then, it looks like the HTC Titanium will hopefully be my next phone (if it's not too expensive... :s), and boy willl I have waited a very, very long time for it.

My C500 running WM6.1 is actually a pretty decent phone, but it lacks processor speed, standby time, wifi, QVGA, USB2.0, updated design etc etc. But sizewise it rocks compared to my S710 (which I sold) and to my S730 (which I never use) and to my Mteor which is a piece of crap.

I would really like to know if the screen responsiveness and sensitivity has been increased to match that which we get in the Iphone?

Well, I didn't find anything that swept me off my feet. I feel that this is just a HTC Cruizer on steroids with a new touch interface. If the rummored Raphael does not materialize... Without a slide out keyboard... I don't see how this Diamond can compete against the Sony Xperia X1.
