This is another tech post for those who are interested in gadgets, like me, all the time. Most of you would be asking whether "Should I wait for Windows Mobile 6.5 to be released, before I buy my HTC Diamond2?". So this is the comparison I made for you. It is nice to see that it is a great improvement from the Diamond. Especially the TouchFLO3D. Perhaps just a bit slimmer, but thicker.

Specifications: The HTC Touch Diamond2 is the new premier touch screen Windows Mobile device with the following specificatons:

- Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard operating system (Upgradeable to WM 6.5)
- Qualcomm MSM 7200A 528MHz processor
- 512MB ROM/288MB RAM (about 250MB ROM and 95MB RAM available)
- 3.2 inch 480×800 WVGA display
- Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) & Dual-band HSDPA (900/2100 MHz)
- Integrated GPS receiver
- Integrated Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support
- Integrated 802.11 b/g radio
- Integrated FM radio
- G-sensor accelerometer
- 5 megapixel camera with auto focus
- 1100 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery
- microSD card slot with support for SDHC capacities
- Dimensions: 4.25 x 2.09 x 0.54 inches, 4.15 ounces

Differences between the Diamond and Diamond2: If you have a Diamond or have seen one, then you may be interested in knowing what has been improved or changed in the Diamond2 this year. Here are some of the key differences between the two:

- Diamond2 ROM increased from 256MB to 512MB
- Diamond2 RAM increased from 192MB to 288MB
- Diamond2 has microSD card slot while Diamond has integrated 4GB flash
- Display went from 2.8 inch 480×640 to 3.2 inch 480×800
- Camera went from 3.2 megapixel to 5.0 megapixel
- Battery capacity increased from 900 mAh to 1100 mAh (Some Diamond variants had larger battery too)

This are just some keynotes you might want to consider, to better buying. Click on the picture, if you want a clearer explanation between them. After all I am not a HTC fan, I am a iPhone 3G fan! Waiting for Firmware 3.0! :D

Perhaps some of you might be thinking that now is the HDTV season, you want to get a Blu-ray Player to watch your exciting HD movies. Wait till you know what is Holographic Versatile Disc, equivalent of 100 DVDs or 10 times of BD. What's even more is, it will be released in 2012. Blu-ray is so short-lived, not even more than a decade.

Holographic discs could hold 500 gigabytes of data. (In comparison, Blu-ray comes in 25 GB and 50 GB discs, and a standard DVD holds 5 up to about 8 GB.) It can store up to UHD quality and Digital 3D quality, without the 3D spectacles. Cool! Soon you will see stuffs like 4320p, rather than 1080p. Nintendo is also researching it, with In-Phase Technologies. Who knows you will see real life 3D in your games. :)
