ahhh okay... soory for wrong info![]()
its ok.........
thanx for helping me.......
i'm buying it on monday at the price of 17590/-
^ Which one?? Diamond?? Nice!
The differences betwen diamond and touch 3g are: Diamond has a vga screen, accelerometer, 900 mah battery, 4 gb inbuilt storage, cannot add memory cards
Touch 3g, qvga screen, 1100 mah battery, can add memory cards..
I too would ve gone for touch diamond if not for it's battery performance or the absence of memory card slots
u mean touch diamond is bettr than touch 3G.......
and what is differ in QVGA screen and in VGA screen
^ well it depends on your needs...
well vga screen means the resolution is more (qvga is 320 *240 and vga is 640 * 480).. but the screen sizes are same at 2.8 inches... The only diff is the videos and pics will appear more crisper at higher resolutions...
Both 3g and diamond have the same processors, but diamond will run relatively slower cos the cpu will have to work harder to push more pixels in the screen (4 times more cos of higher resolutions), and diamond's battery is notorious for draining fast...
i needed a fast cpu for running all the medical books and apps, and i needed large storage space which shold be expandable, and i needed a battery that lasts me for nearly 2 days... 3g satisfied all my needs..
i don watch movies that much on mobile so i really don care about lack of vga screen, and i'm not a fan of accelerometer (shake to shufle songs, play games etc) so i don miss that much...
if u see movies, pics a lot on phone and if 4 gb is enough, then diamond is good enough for u![]()
thanx for explaining......
i guess diamond is good for me.......but i love to have the memory card expansion slot.........
BTW is the touch diamond is a 3G phone..........???
Well all over the world diamond is sold as a 3g model with additional front camera for conference calls...
But for some unknown reason (maybe they din think 3g will come to india), Touch Diamond sold in India is NOT a 3g phone and it doesnt have a front camera too...
o man that was a big loss than............BTW is the all features are working here in INDIA
*edit*
it was not mentioned in the specs that it was an 3G phone....
INDIAN Version Specs

what features do u mean???Originally Posted by amitkool21

all features mean Edge and 3G kinda things...........if i buy this from abroad............BTW my big brother told me dont buy it from here i'll get u one from outside........so now i'm thinking of other model if they are cheap there or i'll go for iPhone 8GB(it was so cheap outside of INDIA)......
Well edge does work here... dunno bout 3g cos din try it...
well HTC phones are mostly sold as carrier locked ones abroad (thats why we get late releases here cos people in india prefer unlocked ones), u can make a carrier locked phone work in india by unlocking it, but good htc unlocking sites and forums will charge u a fee for the unlock like 50 $ (2500 rs)
It's up to you to decide if it's worthwhile...
If ur brother gets a originally unlocked phone from abroad, say america, and even if it doesnt work here, u can make it to work by flashing custom asia roms (i can guide u to do that, after u buy)
HTC phones cost nearly the same amout all over the world, so it's simpler to buy em here IMO..
I'm not aware of the iphone much... but well it' is sold locked in most places, you will have to unlock it to use in india.. But there are good free software to unlock iphone safely...
Iphone 8 gb = 10,000 approx (with contract)
Iphone 16 gb = 15,000 aprox (with contract)
So it's worthwhile if ur gonna buy iphone outside n unlock it here
sorry for late reply coz i was out of station......and reached jaipur tonight after travelling 500Kms...........
firstly thanx for such infos........but what are contracts in iPhone case........and on most of the sites it was for near about $600 and u know what it means..........are those iPhones are 3G ones at your price......???
Nah mate... those are the contract prices in US... They sell the phones cheap but make money by selling data and voice plans for a high price (contract)..
I heard u ll have to pay in advance the contract price for 1 yr, in us... the contract price would be abt 50$ pm... (not sure).. so the total price woiuld be 200$ (for 8 gb) and 12 * 50 = 600.. totally 800 $ for a yearGot the prices from at & t website, they r the U.S prices...
Forget iphone and get diamond... Best choiceif u don care about 3g and happy with 1 day battery life

i'm also going for any HTC one,,,,,may be diamond or diamond 2 or it might be pro, pro 2 or HD.......i'm thinking about it.......i dont want to spend money again on cells in near future..........BTW i wont get contract thing........can you please tell me what the exact price is of an iPhone 8GB.....
I doubt the i-phone 3G has been released in india ?
and the main problem with diamond would be its maintenance ..... it looks superb .. but is very difficult to maintain
what kind of maintenance you are talking....???...and iPhone was available in INDIA through Airtel and Vodafone and they are fully working at the cost of about 30K for 8 GB.....![]()
Bro, Diamond 2 and pro 2 will not be available here anytime soon, and they are sold locked in other countries...... HD should satisfy you![]()
^ and he is talking about maintenance of diamond... It has a glossy surface so prone to fingerprints, spots etc... u have to probably wipe it often to keep it clean... That's it![]()
ohk.......
thanx
now wait for good news........![]()
Cool
