The T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, otherwise known as the HTC Diamond. I currently have the MDA Compact III. Upgrade due in november, hopefully I'll get a good price. This seems to compete with the iphone, has 3G, wifi, 4GB internal storage but no external storage card, stylus, WM6, etc. I can transfer my tomtom to it. Does everything mine already does and more and it looks really shiny. :drool:

Yep, definitely. I have a lot of respect for HTC. My current phone is the HTC Artemis, and I think the quality and design is excellent.

800 x 480 screen (dunno how that's hd... it's certainly higher definition than usual, but HD is a bit of a miss-sell really)

12mm thick, iPhone is 12.3mm... so on par.

I still think the iPhone has the advantage over every phone on the market. Its applications and application market wipe the floor with everything else out there.

Work colleague bizarrely just offered to swap his 6300 for my ipaq 514.

Fucking twighlight zone. I can't stand my phone, complete POS... But if he likes it.. WIN-WIN.

Same, Minus the hacking to take 6.1

Love my touch, but it can be a slow bugger at times. Think the newest rom update i tossed on it is bloated. Oh well.

I prefer my standard touch to the iphone. So id guess id like it the new one better as well.

I just dont like the iphone in general tho. I personally like all the windows mobile support for 3rd party apps. *shrug*

lol, treating a flight as an exorcize in patience.
lol, doors shutting for take off and landing = 50%.
lol, the idea that someone might want to watch a few short podcasts while having nothing else to do.

Did you know in Sweden you are given alcohol vouchers by the government. You can't buy it freely.
And that Swedes believe they're better than any other people in the nordics. In fact everyone hates the Swedes almost as much as they hate Finland.

Boo hoo, don't watch it on the fucking phone you moron, I wouldn't.
But I would watch the news podcasts, the tech podcasts and maybe some 45min episodes of Spaced etc.

Grow up you prick :olo:
