Diamond V Touch

[selspiero]

Morning all

With the upcoming release of the diamond, it is time for me to retire my Touch (elf)

My question is about processor speeds and memory. I love my touch, but the major problem i have with it is the memory in it is poor - and the processor speed is quite slow.

So with all of the fancy graphical stuff on the diamond, is this going to take up all of the memory and affect the speed? or is the new processor better equipped?

Just trying to decide between the diamond or the raphael.... hmmmm

Even I'm faced with the same dilemma. Since I bought the touch I changed to the TYTN II and TOuch Cruise but ended up going back to the touch coz of its size and ease of use.

I think the Raphael is more or less a kaiser with some frills, so Id stay away from that if size is a issue.

The Diamond has192mb and the Raphael 256mb... may not be a big difference.

Id like to hear some opinions as well..

yeah i think the rapheal will be too big..

what memory does the orignal touch have? 128MB?

192 isnt that much morereally... when you think about how much more work it is going to be doing with image and animation caching...


hmmmm

I have a Touch too, but I will definitely be getting a Touch Diamond. The Touch Diamond won't be particularly slow because of TouchFLO 3D, and the amount of RAM available with TouchFLO 3D running will make you wonder how you ever used to put up with your Touch.

The original Touch has 64MB of RAM, so the Touch Diamond has a lot more. The Touch Diamond is, apparently, the official successor to the original Touch, so Touch owners should get a Touch Diamond - it lacks all of the problems that the Touch had.
