i love it, works like a charm for me, but you need to take others opinions like a grain of salt until you actually try the device yourself..
I think the Diamond will have some issues as lots of other devices, but they'll be worked out with later ROMs.
Are you in the USA? If so how can it work like a charm with NO 3G or 850Mhz support? So if you are an AT&T NO EDGE?????? I have the unit and use both SIMS and no better one or the other..

nah i bought a prepaid optus sim and testing it with that at the moment, $70 bucks gets you 300MB and some decent call time so thats cool with me, and whey optus roll out their 900Mhz 3G network it will work a treat...
this phone doesnt operate on NextG(850Mhz) it's 3G bands are 900/2100
telstra are a rip off. im on optus on a $70 prepaid turbocharge. gives u $650 worth of calls/txts/video calls and 300mb of data.
telstra soon enough will drop their prices when optus roll out their 900MHz HSPA network.
my advice: go for touch pro if kb and memory slot r important to u.
Hmm, just got mine and have that horrible sinking feeling that I've blown £400 on something that I'm not going to be very happy with.
First, it crashed when loading the customisations, so I hard reset and this time it went ok, but then another application (Touchflo) crashed soon afterwards. It's been ok since, but doesn't inspire confidence.
Second, Touchflo is quite laggy at times and also fiddly, these may be issues for me because I have big hands.
Third, the whole Touchflo thing seems a bit fiddly, I'm almost tempted to run with a standard HTC or Windows 6.1 homescreen to see if there's any improvement.
Fourth, the soft keyboard has keys that are very close together, even in portrait mode the keys are a bind to use.
Fifth, wifi not working very well with my router, keeps disconnecting, but my TyTn2, S730, S710, TyTn, E51 all work ok on it.
I've not had a chance yet to test battery, call quality etc.
Fingers crossed it's just a learning process and with time maybe the whole Touchflo thing will be refined a little more.
It certainly doesn't feel anything like as slick as my Ipod Touch for typing, browsing, music etc.
I have a bad feeling that I should have waited for the 3g iPhone.

Hey, don't get too down so soon...have a look for the Diamond tweaks - they'll speed up your device (especially TouchFlo) like you won't believe!
That's the difference between the Touch Diamond and the iPhone. It's much easier to fix problems with the Touch Diamond through registry edits and third party software, than it is to fix problems with the iPhone...

Yeah, but why the heck do we have to!? Can't HTC build a quality device that just works out of the box?! Then leave it to us mostly to customize it and somehow improve its usability!? Man, everyday I read about newer and bigger bugs and flaws. May be most of them will be overcomed thanks to this comunity, but were is HTC with its support for its high-priced devices!?
I'm a tech geek alright, and I love having all the newest tech gadgets around. I've wanted to get a WM phone so many times throughout the last few years but they were always behind in lots of aspects compared to the Symbian ones. Then HTC released its TyTNII with its holy specs, great design and somewhat compact size. This was my phone! Yeah, right! Then I found out about this huge issue with the video performance and followed it for about three monts waiting for a solution either from HTC or XDA. And OK - HTC had some problems with Qualcomm support for its stolen from Broadcomm chipsets whatever. So they announced Touch Diamond with a new chipset and "3D GPU" which "processor enhances the user interface". And then again it needs tweaks to make it - not better, but just usable. Then all the other bugs and flaws users say about in this forum.
Well damn you HTC, I'm about to leave the idea of having WM phone again. And that from a fan of yours that followed you back from the era of Qtek devices.

So wht is the verdict guys... is it worth buying it or wht i was planning on buying it but i heard a lot rumours tht is it really not worth it... cause the main problem is it is really slow!!!! even after applying the tweak to speed up the phone cause after tht it seems u'll need to soft reset a couple of time and even hard reset....
So the million dollar question is buy or not to buy???

Maybe a WM device just isn't for you. I wouldn't be happy if I wasn't constantly fiddling anyway, so it's better for me to get a device that needs improving than to get a device that works fine (because fiddling will break it).

Alright, check it out. I have seen allot of comments on here about how AT&T most likely lock the gps to their telenav service and many are upset. Well I shared your concerns until I found the update for the HTC Mogal, someone posted a few days ago. I have never tried tom tom and of course in a perfect world we could choose, however I must say I do not care anymore. The updated telenav is pretty sick IMO, as they changed the interface and added traffic support. What else is missing? I for one am content and just thought I would share so some can relax a bit.

I, for one, am not going to pay for the Telenav service! I just want a GPS for those "detour" days and road trips. Stand-alone GPS devices out there do not need a paid subscription (except for traffic) so I would prefer 8925's GPS to be the same way. Even if AT&T locks the GPS to Telenav, I am pretty sure it will be a software lock and guess where do we hangout? xda-developers!!! After some time, we will have custom ROMs popping everywhere that will not only enable the "maybe-locked" GPS but also get rid of all the bloatware and make 8925 one snappy device.
it is nice to know that the tel nav is good. i have stepped inside 4 different AT&T stores to check on kaiser availability and each time I have also asked whether the GPS will be locked to tel nav and each time i was told you will be free to use whatever software you want.
1. Wont matter as XDA would un-do locking to TelNav.
2. While I might actually pay and use TeleNav...it would be a dealbreaker if for some dumb reason like XDA could not break it or if ATT removed GPS all together. Not saying either would happen, just that for me GPS is the only reason to upgrade at this point.

For me yes it must be GPS. The Hermes was great for me, I just like the GPS, and a NEW toy. But a new toy for $400-$800 better have full GPS even if I need to run an HTC ROM, it at least better have the hardware and be hackable. The 3MP camera is nothing for me. I dont take pics with a phone and when I do once a year, I dont expect much.
I look at my current desktop PC that is a model year 2003, yes its old but I run XP PRO and do everything I need at fairly quick speeds after the RAM upgrade. So why buy a new PC.....people say faster processor and more Video RAM, etc....but for what the PC does it works great. So why upgrade.

Is there any way to configure automatic sms resend?
I've found that if the message is not send due to coverage conditions or simply by failure, then it stays that way until you manually resend it.
If windows mobile does not include this, then, is there any app that will help me out with this?
Thanks!
this is my problem too..
It's a great point. I would also love to see a fix for this. Nokia N95 and others work well by rescheduling unsent messages for 5 minutes later.
I've been searching for ages but haven't found a way to do this yet.
Would be really handy if this was possible.
Agreed, I'm used to this on every single phone I've had and was shocked when I discovered a whole folder full of unsent when I got this phone - particularly after insisting to people I had sent the messages!
So we all agree the diamonds signal is crap? lol
i have just got my diamond and not yet been to my place of work with it looks like i am going to get this problem as the signal is already crap
gary
One thing I have found with the diamond is that holding your hand over the ariel (the top rear of the phone) really does make a difference!
Hope this helps you a little
You guys should try and test out some different radios. Check the Radio thread in ROM Development.
I tried them all and .07 is best for me, but that might not be best for you depending on your carrier, etc. Some radios give better reception but might chew your battery more, I guess it's a tradeoff (maybe).
I think once you find the best one for you it will be all good. I think the Diamond reception is fine!! I don't really have any problems with it.

Yes, another big hand up here. The Diamond is an amazing phone. Usually I loose interest for a new gadget after a couple of weeks. Now, after a bit more than a month, I'm still very happy with my Diamond. It runs smooth... (using SwiftBlade's latest rom (v5) and some XDA tweaks)
more than happy

As much as I researched, and badmouthed the iphone.. and bought a htc diamond. I actually tried an iphone yesterday and was blown away by the interface. The touch screen is so much more sensitive, you dont need to apply any pressure. I have noticed on my diamond i have to apply more pressure in the corners than the middle of the screen.. it gets annoying. As much as I hate to say it I am starting to regret my decision to be anti-apple. I am running elite 3 rom with spb mobile shell, and yes it is smooth.. but it is nowhere near as smooth as the iphone.

Why should i move to an iphone forum when i own a htc diamond? You dont understand how much I hated the idea of the iphone... I convinced many people not to get one, I also have a huge list of reasons not to get one. My point is yes I thought my diamond was running smooth as silk, then I tried the iphone which i hated so much.. and THAT really is smooth as silk, now when I use my diamond it feels sluggish in comparison. I think a lot of the people saying their diamond is smooth havn't tried an iphone. I still prefer the diamond because it can run background processes, mind you.

Works perfect.
It has only one issue...
SOmetimes, when you starts the program, there is a fade on the screen... But you have only to press the power button twice and the programs goes well...
Would be great if HTC Home has a tab for stock exchange and share price update. HTC did it for weather, why stop there. Stock price should be next.
Yes,i agree. Hopfully a application that will work perfectly with the TouchFLO 3D.

Hello, you Gods in the mobile development world!
IN about 8 days I will get an Xperia X2 from my company and from what I saw when I searched around on the wonderful World Wide Web, is that this phone has some really annoying errors.
And as a person that have been useing the HD2 for some time now, this probably will be the end of whats left of my nervs...
Anyway, as for the question;
What happens if I try to use a X1 ROM developed by you guys? Willl the Failtrain end in a BRICK wall? Or is there any chance of success? Is there anything I can do to increase the chances for a victory? <- Apart from the obvious, just **** in trying to do something about it and wait for an official update aka move on with my life... (or maby throw the phone out in the snow?)
I'm Willing (of course) to tell u whatever information you need about the phone.
There must be other like me- that have tryed or is willing to...?
Any Cabs that work?
Maby someone could post a sticky for stuff that work on the X2?
Cheers mates!
mm.. and sorry for the spelling. English is my 3rd language and speaking is one thing.. typing somthing els!
Maybe I should simply send it to any of you ROM developers....
Why are you calling it the failtrain?
Why would you want an x1 rom with outdated stuff on an x2 any way?
And the x2 will get custom roms too (any time when it gets hard spl'ed)
Just wait .. dont throw it in the snow and if you plan on doing that might as well sell it on ebay?
You could just stick with the hd2 any way its better in everything. (Ok no hardware keyboard)
Hi, i'm an X2 owner and i'm also inclined to call it the failtrain. I've been lurking here a short while but i've not really seen many of its issues documented. Or probably i've been lazy and missed it.
I've not much time to detail its issues now, will just point out some main points. The biggest grouse any X2 owner will have is that the software just feels so glitchy. My phone was hanging on the lock screen. I.e. after locking my phone, it will without fail, at least once a day, crash while on the lock screen. There is no fix except to take out the battery. After hard resetting via battery replacement, you've gotta reset it once more to clear the error completely.
Daily.
I've seen some other users bring up the fact that the screen does not wake up upon receiving text messages. Oh and even the text message alert can hang, i.e. half of it will play, and end abruptly. When you next do an action involving any alert sound, the remaining part will play as well.
If this doesnt reek of an incomplete product, i don't know what does.
I've reset my phone via SEUS. It is the same firmware version as what was in the box, though having done that the phone lock problem has stopped, so far.
But this phone does show a lot of promise. As a former X1 user, the X2 surely is a step in the right direction, in terms of polish and interface. Of course this assumes that SE gets its act together and push out decent firmware, of which there is no news.
Until then, the X2 is quite the disappointment.

Why would you want an x1 rom with outdated stuff on an x2 any way?
And the x2 will get custom roms too (any time when it gets hard spl'ed)
Just wait .. dont throw it in the snow and if you plan on doing that might as well sell it on ebay?
You could just stick with the hd2 any way its better in everything. (Ok no hardware keyboard)

Well. Ill just have to wait for those hard spl's...

Hi, i'm an X2 owner and i'm also inclined to call it the failtrain. I've been lurking here a short while but i've not really seen many of its issues documented. Or probably i've been lazy and missed it.
I've not much time to detail its issues now, will just point out some main points. The biggest grouse any X2 owner will have is that the software just feels so glitchy. My phone was hanging on the lock screen. I.e. after locking my phone, it will without fail, at least once a day, crash while on the lock screen. There is no fix except to take out the battery. After hard resetting via battery replacement, you've gotta reset it once more to clear the error completely.
Daily.

Two major updates.
Thx doministry.
To bad that it takes SE that long to upgrade the phone to 6.5.2 and 6.5.3 ...
I'm getting realy tierd of all these phone companys pumping out phones and then just stop updating there softwere- exept that ****ty phone from that plastic-design company with a fruit as there trademark.. and maby HTC that seems to be a more reliable company for each year that passes. (Well.. maby its just me..)
Well, it's not really necessary to throw in on the snow or sell it somewhere. Just keep it in your locker room or somewhere safe and get back to it until XDA and ROM Chefs start to put a special thread here.
It's Microsoft's Windows Mobile anyway and not Toyota.
id suggest that when you get your X2, have a quick play with it and see what you think. but then put it away until march when the first update comes out. its a pretty good phone but judging by your first post i doubt you could put up with the few bugs that are still present.

Well... if it had been made in Japan you could have fixed it with glue... (There is a Swedish saying: if you can not fix it with tape or glue - then it's not worth repairing...)
Still thinking about that pile of snow.......

Ahem, sorry,
but's not a SE only problem!
WM 6.5.3 was announced officially few days back,
so apparently there's no device yet on market with this 6.5.3 (I mean device available, not just announced)
