I've seen the T-Mobile Vario IV (a slight variation on the Touch Pro but otherwise identical) in action. Not personally I'm afraid, but a short video of it in operation. From what I saw the speed of the TouchFlo is noticeably faster and smoother (vitually no lag). Makes me wonder if the RAM is actually just 256 MB, with the extra 32 MB simply there to speed up the graphics intensive interface.

GPS capabilities (no real GPS, only AGPS? Really?)
Yes, real GPS. Standard Qualcomm GPS, with the possibility of getting a network assist. Exactly the same as the Diamond which operates as non 'a'GPS running TomTom just fine. T-Mobile in the UK say there will be an option of a bundle with the CoPilot software.

So what are your impressions? Is this your next device, or does it fall short in some way
I've been waiting for this for a while, and it is absolutely my next PPC. Oddly I was told it wouldn't be out until Q1 2009, so quite what happened to enable it to be pushed up to end of Summer 2008 I don't know. Perhaps it has some connection with HTC managing to ship the Diamond early? Beating the 3G iPhone to the punch? Worry about the Experia taking their sales maybe?
