hihi this means that he has to fill his sentense because the minimum lenght of a message is 6 (?) characters...
he also could have written: no my friend...

LOL thanks dude.
I am thinking about going against my better judgement and ditching the TyTnII and selling it then upgrading to a contract to get the diamond.
I like the HTC devices and would gladly keep the TyTnii but the performance is annoying me as I know although acceptable knowing it could do better ......
well ya know

Yeah sorry mate, could have been a bit politer. And it was to add more characters like he said. I think the minimum is 10.

lo no worries

I hope I'm not too late, because you'll regret it if you dump your Kaiser for the Diamond over video performance.
See this thread for benchmarking details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397478
Playing the same video, the Diamond was only able to match the HTC Touch's performance. The Touch has the same processor and video issues as the Kaiser. The diamond was almost 30% slower than a 3 year old 6700 running at 416mhz.
Edit: I was also told that this website had done prior benchmarking to verify that while the Diamond featured some video improvements over the Touch and Kaiser, they weren't significant overall.

I like the diamond, but I wouldn't ditch my tytn II for it just yet unless you have plenty of $$$, wait for the diamond pro and reconsider.

Thanks for the info! I was toying with the idea of getting a diamond as the tytnII perfromance does niggle me.
But I have been reading a lot on this site and am now being drawn to having a go at flashing my tytnII ..... after I have thoroughly read what I need to first of course!

The Touch Diamond doesn't seem to be even close to for example Samsung i780 video performance, so I'd say that it still has some sort of video performance issues, if not the same as the TyTN II has.
Although I like the Touch Diamond, I think that HTC rushed things with this unit and it DEFINETELY isn't the 530 EUR worth I paid for.
I bought a SE C902 for 350 EUR one week earlier and although this is no WM device and I can't install many third party programs(just java stuff), the performance and especially the camera of the C902 are really very very good. Yes, the Touch Diamond looks better but the C902 is even slightly thinner and less wide, not to forget about the mentioned absolutely GREAT picture quality/speed of the 5MP camera.

Don't forget the Diamond has four times the number of pixels to drive compared to the TyTN II...

so? you still wouldn't get better performance out of it. Same driver issues.

Diamond HTC CAMERA software will work on HTC ATHENA??

Hi all Could anybody please tell me whether CAMERA Software form HTC Diamond could work flawless on HTC X7500 Athena with WM6 (I know that Diamond has 3.2 Megapix and Athena 3.0) and if yes could also make a cab file to have an opportunity to install it on Athena (am besten newest version from Diamond ROM WM6.1)???
Athena's camera soft version 4.01 build 27598 makes unfortunately terrible pictures

The Diamond takes bad pictures too, no win situation here I'm afraid.
I also own the new SonyEricsson C902, this little thingie is a treat in the camera department.

And sony ericsson firmware updates (according to camera soft) almost always improve schutter speed, screen refresh rate (when you have camera lens open) and the quality actually Maybe HTC envy this sony ericsson in near future.
And HTC ATHENA has terrible screen refresh rate - when I move it to follow for Example something that I want to photograph, I can hardly say what is going on on Athena's screen

for photos i have a 7mp kodak. for video i have a jvc mini dvd.
i don't ask much from a PHONE camera. it's only a PHONE camera made for a quick snapshot in case of emergency. no artistic demands here. i don't buy a pda for his camera and i don't compare pda's by their camera.
it is like using yr DVD as a shovel or a hammer.

I agree with you but:
1. If it is possible to improve sth why not improving it and
2. People nowadays are looking for a phone (or sth else) with good and fast camera because thanks to that they have opportunity to make a picture when they want and of what they want because they have Mobile phone always with them. To have beautiful pictures I would use NIKON or CANON but sometimes I need to make picture immediately. And many new Nokias or Sony Ericssons are better than HTC and many People will change HTC to NOKIA or SE in the future if HTC not improves for example camera. Its a competition and the best will win

comeon man its not that bad
i dont know why you guys dont like diamond camera
the only problem with the camera that when you record video in a dark or night its like you record 5 frames in a second

Poor camera quality any solutions?

Hi guyz,
Sorry to disturb you, but I would like to know from you about the quality of TyTn II camera. I found the camera pics from kaiser on the net very clear, which is much better than what I get on my own kaiser camera. Have you guyz come across with any such problem or knows any way out of this. Would be glad to know if there are any solutions of tweaks to get the camera work well.

Diamond crappy video recording - make a difference

Hi all. Is anyone else dissatisfied by the video recording performance of their Diamond? I know my Touch Pro is a massive letdown - even compared to my old XDA II from 4 years ago! I just got back and my holiday videos are rubbish.
Ateksoft's CoolCamera is a brilliant app for PPC's that can boost framerate, picture size and quality. However it doesn't work with the recent HTC devices.
I'm sure other people would be happy to part with a couple of quid for an app that could turn their Diamond into a great camera. If you're interested, please post in the following thread on Ateksoft's website:

It only takes a second to register and it could make a lot of difference!
Cheers,
Mike
