Thanx so much for your advice. The Maple is much like the Q. The main reason to upgrade is more screen real estate.... so i do want a touch phone when the technology is mature. Judie.

I think you would have a steeper period of adjustment going from the Motorola Q's candybar form factor with always available keyboard to a capacitive screen's virtual keyboard. Even though the eye candy of the larger screen and updated operating system would almost make up for it, I think when you were answering texts or email you would regret the decision - unless you are really ready for a change.

I didn't realize that Australia's Telstra had their own version with specs that would make it compatible with US 3G. Verrry Interesting! :-D Good catch Chris!

It appears there really are 2 versions of the Touch HD out there: T8282 - Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz T8285 - Australia (only Telstra) / US (Most Networks) : 850/2100 Mhz So that would explain why Mitchell's unit supported the 850 UMTS band. So U.S. buyers should look for the T8285! Okay,

Now that Verizon is about to release the original Diamond we have an interesting choice. My main objection to the Diamond was the lack of a card slot. That’s now moot. Bit concerned about the touch on the 2.8″ keyboard. If we get it now in 2 years can upgrade again (if rules don’t change). Otherwise its 6 to 9 months for the Diamond 2 or Whitestone (HD successor) in the US. From the review, sounds like i should keep the ole Motorola Q for a while.... I'm hoping they release these subsidized at the US $200 price point to really compete with iPhone. BTW - great review guys. Suggestions? Hmmmm.

I remember when we all wanted PocketPC's with a large screen. This looks like a pretty good phone even with the flaws. Great review guys. I remember when we all wanted PocketPC's with a large screen.
