Remember that leaked HTC 2009 roadmap? Well, it turns out, that thing was pretty spot on. HTC has just gone and announced updates to their ever-popular handsets, the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. The Touch Diamond2, as you might have guessed, is the new Touch Diamond. It adds a larger display (3.2″ WVGA with touch sensitive zoom bar), a new and improved TouchFLO 3D and 5 megapixel camera. All in an updated and refined exterior casing.
Here’s where things get really interesting, though… We were lucky enough to get some hands on time with the Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, but oh boy, the Touch Pro2 really stole the spotlight. We’re talking about Windows Mobile phone of the year and it’s only February! The Touch Pro2 is a mash-up of the TyTN II, the Touch HD, and the Touch Pro (yes, the tilting screen is back). It has a huge 3.6″ WVGA screen, one of the best QWERTY keyboards we’ve ever seen, a brand new TouchFLO 3D (it includes HTC’s Straight Talk which combines all communication into a fluid UI. Think Palm Pre-esque) and a really cool feature that activates the speakerphone when the phone is flipped upside down. Oh yeah, there’s a mute button on the back of the device for when you want to mute the conference. Awesome. Sadly the camera did not get upgraded to 5 megapixels (something that really would have absolutely sealed the deal) but there’s always the Touch Pro3. Nokia N97, what?
Look for both handsets to start appearing in Europe around the start of Q2. Hit the jump for more images and full press release!

Hey guys, i'm in the market for a new phone and I choose the xperia play, i will be purchasing it soon, but before then, i have a question about the touchscreen. How responsive is it compared to the ipod touch's touchscreen? The reason i say this is because i'm coming from an LG Voyager so besides my ipod touch, i dont have a lot of prior experiece with touchscreen devides and I want my experience to favorable and not something that's laggy and unresponsive and like the lg voyager's touchscreen can be. Thank you for the help you guys.
PS. For those of you saying that i should just go to the verizon store and try it for myself, i have indeed done this, but I didn't have enough time to form a good opinion about whether or not it was good.
The touch screen on the play is great, in fact I actually prefer it to my Itouch , honestly I wouldent worry about it feels great to me
Awesome! Thank you very much! Just the answer I was looking for, i was going to ask more questions, but there's nothing I can think of at the moment lol.
I have tried my friends' iPhones but I can't form a solid comparison with the Xperia Play in terms of touchscreen. Yeah, indeed, the iPhone's touchscreen is sensitive, but it could be a safe statement too that the Xperia Play has a very sensitive and responsive touchscreen. It's capacitive so it registers even the slightest touch possible and the UI response is very smooth, thanks to Gingerbread.
I haven't had any trouble with its touchscreen yet (being unresponsive or so) but c'mon dude, comparing it with the LG Voyager you say!?!? OMG what a MISMATCH! The Voyager is damn old and has a resistive touchscreen. That could be the reason why you're saying it's not that responsive. Resisitive touchscreens prefer to be pressed down for the action to be registered unlike capacitive ones that detect finger movement over the screen.
PS: There is big difference between resistive and capacitive touchscreens. You should read them HERE to avoid mismatch.
Just don't put the phone to a couch or pillow and try to use plays touchscreen. It's strange, it becomes unresponsive and weak, but it's OK on the table (you have to put more pressure on your fingers).
Onhand its great.

I understand the difference, i was just stating that i am coming from a voyager and resistive touchscreens suck.
not only is the screen nice and sensitive (and looks tasty too), it has 4 point multi touch (which i had no idea about until i ran a multi touch test) which is very accurate and makes apps like google maps so awesomely easy to use, it's amazing!!
i get a bit excited about the screen on the play as i came from the x10 with glitchy dual touch
It's probably the same as the iphone.. I don't notice a difference between them. But when I turned on my old htc touch... Omg lol never realized how hard I had to press the screen to get it to response before

Coming from 3 years of using the iPhone, the Play is a HUGE improvement.
Multitouch upto two fingers is ok
But the screen goes mumbo jumbo when more than 2 fingers are used :S
Some serious touch issues have also been noted when the phones charging

Thank you everyonee for the helpful responses, I can't wait to get my play!
I never found it unresponsive while charging or while setting it down anywhere. It's quite nice to use. Only downside I've found is it gets less accurate if you fingers get all sweaty.
I think Gingerbread really brings alot of smoothness and responsiveness to the overall touch screen experience on the play and I must say in comparison to other phones it's damn smooth. I've seen people with dual core phones be impressed with my Play considering the specs for it are now considered outdated.

I think you have a dodgy Play as mine isn't like that at all,
Hi
because of Aluminum frame thr were lots of reports about problem of touch-screen.
and some experiments to show this problem.
Is there any touch problem on Z1 compact?
-
dead pixel was common issue on 2013 devices.
on LG G2, Nexus5, Xperia Z, ZL, Z1 & etc. (same feature was LCD display)
have u ever test ur Z1 compact for dead-pixel?
-
Z1 compact got white-balance out of box and maybe thr s few issue on a color tint.
but with default configuration, is there any color on screen that annoy ur eyes?!
- - - - -
If these kind of issues reduce it means Sony Triluminos display improved and it will be good news for tech
Thanks for ur answers
:good:
please report ur problems
White balance out of the box is excellent compared to the competition, none of the ridiculous 9000+k blue hue you get on samsung devices.
No dead pixels
Touch panel issues are present on AUO panels - it will recognise an extremely large touch (such as flattening/rolling your thumb on the screen) as a two-finger zoom. Can't really see any reason why this couldn't be resolved in a software update.
Blue tint !
and again different display!
however blue tint is better than yellow hue but it s not real !
have u got any problem!?
source
any issue?
Got an AUO panel...
Dead Pixels = None
Got a yellow tint when I got the device. But now it's gone. I think it's just the glue that got cured between the digitizer and the screen
Touch Problem = None
The poll has no option for people who don't notice any problems! Tint/hue is also very subjective and can't really be measured properly without professional test equipment.
Hello! I have problem with my htc. Everything was okay. Today i checked my phone, but the display was terrible. There are red/orange/gray lines on black screen. The quality is not like a HD LCD. Its very bad. Touchscreen is working nice, but the display picture is awful. I did not dropped my phone and there isn't damage. Please help me
