Having used the HTC Touch Diamond... I highly doubt it is a iPhone killer.

No doubt it is a good WinMo phone and even with HTC's TouchFlo interface (which is quite nice) it does not even come close to the iphone in terms of usability, design, functionality, etc.

But such is the downfall of any WinMo phone with a custom interface. HTC have taken the ugly WinMo interface and dressed it up, and because of this and the way application, etc are developed for WinMo it is never going to have the nice, uniform interface and usability of the iphone.

Because the iphone os was designed from the ground up to look nice and function well, and all applications (official ones anyhow) have to go through a review process and meet certain quality standards (in theory) all of the iphone applications integrate with the OS properly and all follow the same type of user interface as the OS itself.

Since the first generation iPhone was released in the USA, there have been many phones touted as 'iPhone Killer' and not one has lived up to the hype.

I think if anyone are going to make an iPhone killer, it will be HTC... but its definitely not anything from their current lineup. Maybe when the android platform becomes more widespread or the next version of WinMo comes out apple will have something to worry about, but right now. The iPhone isn't going anywhere

Aside from having a slide out keyboard and less memory, how is it any different to the touch diamond?

As much as I really hate Apple, I must say, the iPhone is definitely a sweet phone. In terms of design and functionality, the iPhone beats any other Windows Mobile based phone out there. With that said though, I'm still a Sony Ericsson fan and will either buy an X1 (Windows Mobile 6) or a C905. Your phone of choice all comes down to what you really need. The extra features of the iPhone just aren't usable enough to justify buying one.

But yeah; go the iPhone.

But if you 'jailbreak' it and install an app called SwirlyMMS then you can send and recieve MMS's just like any other phone.

Ok call me naive but how do you "Jailbreak" it?? :huh: My son really wanted one till he found out you cant MMS.

personally i still like dropping my phone, but the one thing i like about the iphone is that you can buy a ipod video and say its an iphone, and no one would know. Just dont like the docking station, phone tends to fall out of station

i've had my 16gb black iPhone for about 4 months now, seems like an alright phone, though a few issues with the current firmware :(

after a call the phone's screen will turn off, then wont turn on after pressing the button quite a few times

and the amount of updates on the app store is very annoying grrrr :@

other than that its a pretty sick phone, love using the wifi to sign on msn without having to turn on the main pc :D

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
