HTC Tytn II or HTC Touch Pro. No beating 'em

Seconded

Either of you tried the Touch Pro? I had a play with a Diamond a while back, but I'd be interested to hear of any experiences with the Pro.

The Nokia N97 looks interesting too.

When do you need it? The Palm Pre looks fantastic but it isn't out until second half of 2009. I really can't wait for that phone to come out.

I had the Touch, not the pro and frankly, what a POS. The windows OS is terrible, slow, clunky, badly thought out. Screen elements are so small that they require almost constant use of the stylus, and I don't have particularly big fingers.

The hardware looks great, and the Touch feels really nice in your hand, it is sadly let down by a turgid operating system. After using the Touch for a month, losing my contacts several times for no apparent reason and almost chucking it in the Clyde in despair , I bought a Palm Centro outright. That does everything I want with little or no lag between functions.

Which Touch was that teclo - the Diamond?

What about the Sony Ericsson X1?

It's made by HTC (so I was told) and has the 'Windows' operating system. I was eyeing one up the other day. Anyone tried it?

Just the 128mb MDA Touch on T-Mobile. A nice looking, thin phone horribly let down by a terrible OS.

Erasing all my contacts (TWICE!) is inexcusable. *harrumph*
