Ah good to hear, good to hear. I've seen vids of its UI and whatnot and as an fan of HTC phones (I have a Hermes right now) I'm pretty stoked about the Diamond. I love their backlit keyboards like the one on mine and it's good to hear that the quality carries over.marwan said:TOUCH PRO ALL THE WAY BABY!!!! NO CONTEST!
Omnia is still extremely buggy, laggy, slow and the presses don't register properly, u have to press them 2-3 times to execute certain commands. and the screen si big, which is nice, but 65k colors and trust me it makes a difference on a 3.2 screen, you can tell the color palate edges.
Omnia has a good UI, but doesn't feel finished(like the buggy software), so i'll wait for a firmware see how it goes, if it's not good I'll sell it and keep the Touch Pro and Nokia N95(my favorite trusty phone ever)
only thing i love about the Omnia is the 5mp camera, which is better than the Touch Pro 3.2mp, but then again the Nokia N95 eats them both alive in terms of camera quality
me of the story, get the Touch Pro, it's worth every penny(even though expensive)...and btw, the Touch Pro sliding keyboard is absolute perfection! first phone/PDA with 5 row keys, and back lit to boot
i love writing text messages and emails while i'm still in bed in a dark room!
EDIT: Touch Pro has tons of applications and GPS stuff, but man the YouTube application is simply amazing! the UI, icons, presentation is incredible! sccroll half way the link and you'll see the YouTube application

did i mention the screen res on the Touch Pro is VGA? it's 480x640....sharp sharp sharp.....it's like a small HD screen....shit, i sound like a sales man! lol you get the point! GT IT AND U WONT LOOKS BACK!
(the only disappointing thing in the Touch Pro is the low res video)
EDIT: the iPhone is so laughable btw after experiencing the Touch Pro, Nokia N95 and Omnia(vene if it's bit buggy,,,,,it can still shot a lot that the iPhone can't)
I heard HTC was supposed to prep it a little more before it's US debut, but I dunno if I can wait much longer. It's so fucking sexy!!! >__<

when is it coming to the U.S? we get phones way earlier than anywhere due to the 900Mhz band.
we already ave the Nokia N96 and Samsung INNOV8 based also on symbian with 8 megapixel cam, that thing killed a Cannon camera in terms f picture quality lol

It's supposedly out later on this month or next but there still hasn't been a definite release date last time I checked.marwan said:
And that INNOV8 picture quality is stupid good. I'm amazed.
- PSP Slim&Lite (flashed it ASAP, now runs CFW - the disk drive is just ridiculous on this thing - louder and more obnoxious sounding than I remembered. Brrrrrr. Hence...)
- 2GB Sandisk Memorystick M2 + Adapter (for those vids&MP3s)
- 4GB Sandisk Memorystick Pro Duo + Adapter (CSO&Skype&Apps&etc go here)
- Boogie for 18 Euro at Woolys - surprisingly OK game (why no wireless Mic tho? Boo.
) - Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (EU version) - bought it before being told that US&EU&JP versions apparently can't "talk" with each other.
- HOTD 2&3 (US version) - o nom nom nom.
(Not pictured is my Strongbad WiiWare purchase, because my phone camera is just way too shitty for that. 2MP, my ass!)
Oh yeah, what are the recommended settings for PSP-compatible MP4 movies? So far I go with a bitrate like 400-450kbps, well below the PSPs upper limit of 750kbps (according to Sonys horribly useless FAQ), 480x272px/368x272px, and 112kbps AAC (CBR, 44.1kHz) with the x264 codec with all CABAC and Trellis turned on. Nice-looking, particularly with 2-pass encoding, but still a bit on the big side of things IMHO.

Little late with the CDs, but better late then never I guess.
Asus EEE PC 901 with Windows XP, replacing the previous 701 model which I am selling to a friend. This was for my wife, and despite all her complaining (we don't need it, forget about it, etc etc) she has been using it nonstop since I bought it last night. I had to try out some emulators though!
Battle Fantasia PS3 (bought back for 2700 yen NEW after selling it off for 2000 yen earlier- not too bad), Mercenaries 2, and Orochi Musou Maou Saorin. Plus Arcadia magazine and some manga. YOTSUBA TO 8 WOO-HOO!!
Some Sekirei capsule toys. I got the complete set but the last one is a little girl in a swimsuit and I'm not feeling that.

I think that is NG you're playing, but try 2i. It actually supports true widescreen. Enable it so you don't have fat characters and distorted horizontal space.Lyte Edge said:Asus EEE PC 901 with Windows XP.
Why they took it out of 3s I'll never understand.

yah the INNOV8 has amazing picture quality, but it didn't get great reviews, they say thye only good thing is the camera and video quality.......and you wanna hear something even more stupid? it costs here(in the UAE after dollar conversion), A WHOPPING $1089!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O WTF?
even the Nokia E90 Communicator, which is Nokia's flagship didn't cost that much, and it's way more capable as a business phone!
anyways, let's not derail the thread and continue our conversation over PM,
later,

Theory of a Dead Man is horrifically ghastly garbage music from the bowels of Satan's vomitspawn. I knew that before paying $2 for it though. Felt like owning something real shitty I could vandalize without even thinking twice about it. Apparently two of the movies are similarly shitty though. I never learn. Don't buy stuff you know nothing about on impulse. Has that ever worked out for anyone?

Have you tried Handbrake? I've heard good things about it. I think there was some windows app dedicated for that stuff, too... PSP video 9? Something like that.
Me, I installed the slightly buggy ffmpegX - the included PSP profiles are utterly useless. I strongly suspect the always-resurfacing addon (mencoder etc) installation broke Mplayer, and I'm not exactly thrilled about that.
I had to build myself a custom profile to get anything resembling quality out of it. Now it runs like a charm, and queueing a bunch of videos to be converted in the background is definitely a very welcome feature. Sadly, it never sticks to profile settings when a new movie is loaded in, so you need to reload the profile for every friggen movie you have it encode. Then there's the nonsensical nagsceen at startup about the (obviously present and working) components that just... won't... go... away no matter how often you let it install the components.
Now that I have the "best" (?) settings I'm thinking about writing a smallish script to make converting videos a one-click experience, so to speak. But I'm lazy and I definitely have done enough experimenting on that issue to last me for a while. Plus, I have a certain dislike of 12+ parameter command lines full of encoder gibberish. Brrrrrr. I think I'll try handbrake next...

PSPVIdeo9 is made by the Devil and is smothered in AIDS.
I have not tried HandBrake.
XVID4PSP is great, has never failed a conversion and is ok speedwise.
Use bootcamp and run it :lol
Only downside is that you have to add each file you want manually which takes around 5 seconds. No batch yet, but it is in the requested features.
