DOES anyone know if this is the upddated handset for the XDA Orbits out there or the XDA Trion, Stellar?
If it's for the Orbits, then does anyone know what the newer handset will be for the Stellar?
HTC launched a TyTNii which was T-Mobiles Vario 3 and O2's Stellar....Now A Vario 4 for T-Mob has been anounced (by HTC) but there is no metion if O2 will release this and if it will be the new version of Stellar....Anyone?

isnt this an o2'd up touch diamond?

yeah it must be. the one thing with mobiles you must all learn, always buy the generic devices, they run so much more smoothly

does anyone know does the ignito use the same interface as the htc diamond? might seema daft question but alot of the xda range (which are just copies of the HTC range) use the o2 interface which looses functionality e.g. touchflo on stellar is rubbish in comparison to the tytn II

can you use youtube on o2 as ignito as aposed to htc diamond?

thanks for any help

True the orbit is a nice fast phone, but this has a 528Mhz processor with 192 Mb RAM, plus 3d acceleration. Its much better.

Had the Ignito a few days now - It's Amazing.

For all those who aren't sure - this is the HTC touch diamond but has been re-branded by 02, the differences being the 02 branded software (yuk!) and the smooth back cover (instead of the chiselled diamond) which is much more masculine than the diamond effect which i find a bit girly!

First thing to do is head on over to xda-developers and flash an original HTC rom to the phone to debrand it and improve the radio. This gave me the original HTC interface and makes the battery last longer with improved radio/network interaction. The interface is also a lot more responsive.

I owned an imported jailbroken iphone for several months before the Uk 02 release and loved it but sold it due to it's bulky size but quickly started to miss it. After a few months of not having it, i've been eying up the Diamond but in the end went for the Ignito due to the smooth back cover and i actually find this even better than the iphone.

The screen quality has to be seen to be believed, its so crisp and colourful, the iphone's dislay was amazing but this destroy's it. I turned off the auto brightness setting as i found it kept the screen quite dull, even in the dark.

The sound quality through the built in speaker is good, it's not amazing but it is better than the iPhone's.

The size of this thing is amazing, it feels so good in the hand.

Battery life is OK, it lasts me pretty much all day, after listening to music for an hour, several text messages/emails, a few calls etc, also worth noting that the phone comes with an in car charger/screen protector and leather case.

After a few days usage, i love it and think it's the perfect device for me.

Why is this exactly the same as the HTC Touch Diamond? If I had a choice to choose between the Diamond and this, I'd choose the Diamond cause this is just a complete copy.
