hi all,
i am planning to buy a new htc model and i am thinking about getting either a td2, hd or pro. currently in our country we only have hd and pro, td2 will be available in 2 weeks time. wgich do you think should i get and why?
By the way, do all of them have haptic feedback? it was never mentioned in any site i checked.
Thanks everyone!
Cheers!
You could think of it in this way:
They are all the same with the following differences:
1-Diamond2 is the smallest & cheapest.
2-HD is similar to Diamond2 but bigger in size, bigger screen (in dimensions) & more expensive.
3-Touch Pro2 has slideout keyboard and screen is middle sized between the other two. it is also most expensive.
If you meant Touch Pro1, then it has the smallest screen of all three, but it does have a keyboard.
So based on your prefrences, you can only decide.
im planning to buy a new htc device this coming weekend, does the hd have the same rom with the td2? because i saw in some reviews that the td2 has more tabs and new touchflo. is the back housing of the td2 gets scratched easily? is the hd upgradeablo to 6.5? sorry for the questions.
thanks all!
Hey man, I don't own any of these devices, but I am planning on buying a td2.
Heres my comparison :
TD2 has better video recording,slightly nicer pictures than the hd but a smaller screen but improved tf3d(respond better), TD2 will also get a official 6.5 wm upgrade when it's out. Also has landscape qwerty keyboard now.
Too bad it has a extusb port for headphones, you have cheap converters though
HD has a big ass screen, but lower video recording resolution, is more of a pda than a phone. However, won't get a official 6.5 wm upgrade, but roms give you that, it runs on the hd. Also a 3.5mm headphone jack, very nice feature. However, feels really big, you can see this as a pro or con.
Tpro2 has a real keyboard, but a 3.2 mp camera(both hd and td2 have a 5mp camera), don't know if it gets a official wm 6.5 upgrade, this phone is too expensive in my opinion. Pretty much same features as td2.
It depends on what you are looking for, if you are looking for a phone like htc phone with better ability to make pictures and video and a slightly more polished software, go with the td2.
If you like watching videos and like a big ass screen, go with the touch hd.
If you want the same features as the td2, with a real keyboard but a worse camera, go with the tpro2.
Moneywise, I would say TD2 if you want the best deal.
Overall, in my opinion, I would say get the Touch Diamond 2 or the Touch HD.
Hope it helps
thanks zerosilver
my maincincern about the td2 is its back cover which scratches easily. does it have a haptic feedback? i heard hd has it.

TD2 has haptic feedback and its screen is as sensitive as an Iphone's. Except that it can also sense fingernails, while the Iphone can't.

what about the back cover, does it get scratched easily? so td2 is better than hd?

WRONG. Haptic feedback does not mean it's a capactive touchscreen (aka iPhone's thermal touchscreen). It's not also, that's the difference between windows mobile phones (most of them anyways) and the iPhone. iPhone has thermal (capactive) touchscreen and htc uses a pressure touchscreen which goes by pressure points.
Just to be pedantic, capacitive is not thermal. It use the fact that your fingers can conduct electricity, so touching the screen change the static charge of the screen locally. Nothing to do with temperature, deal cold fingers would work as well as warm ones ;-)
But because it is based on conduction, capacitive screen are intrinsically more sensitive than resistive ones (based on pressure). The slightest touch is enough to change the static charges, in fact it already change slightly even before the finger touch the screen. On the other hand, there are no stylus that work for capacitive screen, at least for now (except fat conductive ones, but they do not allow drawing anymore than your fingers).
So resistive screen still have an advantage: you can get very precise drawing using sharp objects with pinpoint contacts (stylus, fingernails,...)
BTW, TD2 has much better finger detection than my older PDA....but on the other hand, handwriting recognition and drawing does not work as well: it is accurate in term of positioning, very accurate, but it is slow: drawing a line or curve on the screen work, but the curve appear with a very noticeable lag behind the stylus. That makes handrawing or handwriting possible but slow (I have to slow down my hand to get good results).
Anyone noticed that?
has anybody purchased the HD2 stylus yet? the screen may be huge, but I miss using a stylus for texting. I have read really bad reviews, but I do want one.

Ordered These
I ordered these, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...849513&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2824wt_911 and will let y'all know how they work. Even if they don't, they were only $4.
i have tried 4 different types of capacitive stylus for the hd2. the only one that works is the htc knockof by Dagi. The product is solid, BUT you have to place the pen end on the hd2 screen at a particular angle every time to get it to work. I swear somtimes they make things harder than they have to be. The pen point is not a point at all. It is a clear plastic circle with a dot in the middle. You have to handle it with extreme care because it can easly snap off and there goes 20 bucks. I guess I will still have to use my finger.

Unfortunately, that is the problem with the capacitive screen. The so-called stylus is actually something that emulates your finger tip in terms of contact area. Personally, a very sensitive resistive screen, such as in Samsung I8000 (Omnia 2) is better than the capacitive screen if you do a lot of text work involving copying, cutting and pasting!
Hi,
I found two interesting things which will hit market soon:
1) Samsung Galaxy Tab Bluetooth Stylus
http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/09/28/galaxy.tab.bluetooth.stylus.up.for.order.in.uk/
2) Nokia Capacitive Stylus SU-39
http://europe.nokia.com/find-produc.../carrying-cases/nokia-capacitive-stylus-su-39
Let's hope they will finally solve our problem with good capacitive stylus.
What do you think?
The Galaxy stylus looks very nice. Hopefully he works on std android devices with android

These stylus will just work on any capacitive screens.

Test results
Hi,
Today I tested Nokia SU-39 stylus and ... it simply does not work with HD2 at all - there is no reaction on screen. I think it only works with resistive type of screens like one in Nokia C6.
However samsung's styli stylus works quite well ... in my opinion even better than HTC's one (samsung's stylus is much more pointy).
Does anyone know of a good stylus for the Notion Ink Adam? Mine just shipped and I am thinking about getting a stylus to take notes, on the subject of notes does anyone know of a good note taking program for things like math and diagrams (for use with said stylus )
I Second that!
I have no experience with a stylus on capacitive screens at all.
You have the HTC styluses for desire Z. I'm just worried they might scratch the screen when used for writing.
Others that have like a little cushion on the tip don't seem really accurate for writing and annotating.
At NCW HTC launched its own tablet which has a pointy stylus Which should work with a capacitive screen.
It looks like the rep refers to 2 buttons on the stylus to either highlight or write/ draw. I wonder if that stylus would also work on other capacitive screens like the Adam.

best buy sells a 20 dollar stylus by targus with a rubbery tip that doesnt scratch, its what I use.
Hello.
If I wanted to use the phone to draw with a pen as if I had a digitizer tablet...
What type of pen would I need?
I guess the Mi8's screen is capacitive.
What model would you recommend?
Something accurate and not scratching the screen and that not too expensive.
Will an active stylus work with this phone?
Or do I need to stay with a digital capacitive pen?
I bought one from Aliexpress, cheaper than the expensive ones, but still 19€.
I know it doesn't say it's sensitive to pressure but I for that price I expected something able to draw with different widths.
I'm dissapointed, it's just a common pen but with a hard tip that can scratch your screen.
