HP iPAQ 614c "V" HTC Touch Diamond

I currently use a iPAQ 614c, although good I struggle with battery life and it is also a little bulky compared to others.

I am considering getting a HTC Touch Diamond to replace it.

I have read reviews, some good some bad, so I would welcome opinions from current users

Cheers

Thanks for all the replies

I did it anyway, please see my post under the GPRS section regarding help with data connections

Love it, much neater than the 614c, and feels a lot more solid. I did have a slight problem with the 614 loosing signal, however the HTC doesnt have that problem.

The touch interface tends to make it a little slower to navigate, but speed is not an issue, if it was you could always resort to the normal windows mode with the stylus.

I noticed that the mini USB connector is a different shape to the standard, I therefore bought a spare online. When it arrived it was a standard mini USB so I tried it and it fits and works OK. Raises the question why the HTC connector is a different shape?

I think it's the audio for the headset.
