Few things...

1) The TP2 has faster RAM/ROM ICs making general performance better. It's not the "Same as the old one"

2) So the device loses a point because it doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack? IT'S A BUSINESS DEVICE. WHO CARES?

3) WM is by far the most advanced mobile OS out there. You complain about WM "playing catchup" and then Apple release an update with copy and paste. Oh wow. I've had that for 10 years. Who's playing catchup when that happens?

4) "Limitations of the OS" what does WM restrict you from doing then?

4) "HTC continues to separate cameras between the Diamonds and Pros". This is the first time that's happened actually, and again, it's a business device. Go buy a camera if you want amazing pictures!

Interesting review. I have the HTC Touch Pro (v1) and it is without doubt the very worst phone / PDA I have ever owned; and the most expensive. (In fact all users at work share the same view!)This is a "work" phone, and it pales into insignificance when compared to my own Nokia E71, which simply blows it away. So, thanks Gordon, but I'll give this a very wide berth! Once bitten ... etc!

As with all these phones (I have the Touch Pro) they need a custom ROM from XDA developers before they become anywhere near being useful. @PaulW, I thought the same until I flashed mine and it was like a new phone afterwards.

@Oliver:

1. It's as good as the same.

2. You really think that's the only market this thing is aimed at?

3. It's a consumer device, who cares about C&C?

4. Limitations of the OS in terms of ease of use.

5. The Pro has a flash, the Diamond doesn't. What's to say there isn't a business use that would find a decent camera useful?

I'm surprised Gordon didn't test and mention the much hyped 'conference speaker phone' option built into this phone. HTC market this as the 'killer feature' and it would be nice to know whether it's up to their marketing hype or not.

Attention Admin - please delete last comment to Ed Churchward - PC crashed while I was typing it.

This is my comment:-

@Ed Churchward - had a look on XDA Developers - did you get the ROM software for the Raphael device? Cheers.

In the "who's who of tech specs" I was expecting to see FM radio - but its not mentioned here... It was trailed as part of the lineup when it was previewed earlier in the Spring - has it been ditched?

@PaulW Yes, that is the one. Have a look at the roms in the rom development section. I like the Proven ones by qsqa but there are lots of good ones there. The best bit is it brings the new interface from the Touch Pro 2 which is much imporved, especially with all the contextual menus. Have a play and experiment with different roms and Radio's. Just read the Wiki and FAQ, it is very simple to upgrade once Hard spl is installed.

Also make sure you install MyPhone so restoring Texts and stuff is very easy.
