do you think it's legit?
No until we hear otherwise from HTC
I wouldn't be surprised if this is real due to HTC saying it just missed getting 8gb into the first series of Diamonds by days by the time they released it. BUT, why would we hear about it first from a global distribution site as opposed to from HTC or the mobile phone rumor mills??
Naah. I guess the dude got confused with Omnia or iPhone
4gb is more then enough for me anyway. i don't think i have even gone over 300mb lol.
16 Gb Diamond in Australia?
Hi guys,

just check the name alibaba not really to trust in it....!!!
hmm. I wonder how 4GB internal storage is soldered in the non-SD diamond. can we open the case and re-solder it with a larger SD card??

The same situation was with original Touch.
The original Touch was aprox a year old when new colours were anounced. Only when device surfaced(Elfin) increased memory was also discovered 128 ram/256 rom as opposed to 64 ram/128 rom on original touch(Elf).
Maybe the same tning will happen with Diamond.
I really hope so.
Ok,
i couldnt wait so i contacted alibaba's. They have online chat info.
I asked if its a typo or a new version. The guy sad its apsolutley true, its a 16 gb version. A new version?! 280 USD?!
I have to check now for alibabas, that is if anybody had some experience buying from them.

I don't know but we'd first have to find someone willing to crack open their Diamond. I would definitely be willing to go through the upgrade process, but I'm not willing to be the guinea pig of trying to open my phone.

As many of you are probably aware, Windows Mobile 6.5 or as M$ calls it lately, Windows Phone 6.5 is only a stepping stone on the way to a real mobile OS designed for fingerfriendly devices.
WinMo 6.5 is actually in many terms only a "visual" upgrade of WinMo 6.1 which makes WinMo more fingerfriendly and makes it look more sexy but in the end, it's still Windows Mobile as we know it. (If you disagree just look at the calender application in 6.5 )
What Microsoft is preparing to fight Android, Blackberry OS 5.0 and iPhone OS is Windows Phone 7. Rumors have it that it will be designed from the ground up and will be designed from the beginning for the use on touchscreen devices, designed for input using nothing but your finger. Windows Phone 7 and 6.5 will be marketed parallel, meaning high-end devices will get Windows Phone 7 and lower-end devices will get the 6.5 version.
So what has it all to do with the Rhodium ROM forunm ?
Simple: Since the Rhodium is pretty much a (very)high-end device I am aware that many people will want to use Windows Phone 7 on it, once it is released. You may say: the relese of Windows Phone is due in 2010 and thats a long, long time from now, but most people buy phones to use them at least 2 years and the Touch Pro 2 being such a great device I can easily imagine sticking to it for even longer. (There arent many similiar phones at the time which offer the same build-quality, the same high-res screen or the great 5-row qwerty in one package, and I guess I am lucky if there is 1 new device like this on the market every year.)
But now to my question. Since those rumours say Windows Mobile 7 will be built from the ground-up, do you guys think it will be possible to get this working on the Rhodium ?
I know a lot of this will be speculation but I want to know your opinion.
If the kernel is completely new will it run on the Rhodium ? Will there be any1 even interested in 1-2 years porting this to the Rhodium ?? etc, etc
As I understand it's still a very long way of, Q4 2010, which means it could easily end up being Q2 2011 or something. Haven't seen any screen shots or really solid info. I'm better it will be quite some time before we see a TP2 rom based on WM7, or I guess WP7.
In true MS style (now don't get me wrong I'm an MS guy all the way, forget mac, forget linux, forget android, I only use win Mo, and win OS), I'm sure that when 7 drops you're gonna need snap dragon processor or better, just like when 6.5 finally droped most 6.1 mobiles could run it, but not very well. infact ngrz28 ROm on the tp2 is the first device/6.5 rom that it actaully ran smooth on.
back in the day, it use to be the The Software was tryin to keep up with the hardware, then it became the hardware trying to keep up with the the software (say crysis 2 ms os...etc).. But the truth is it will always be the software tryin to keep up with with the software, beacause the hardware companies, intel,TI,SYsop, only release the hardware that has been already developed , and moth balling, when the software has caught up enough... MS ain't **** without Intel, its a sysmbosis between the hardwae developers and the software developers, and a Conspiriousy. Long story short the release of a winmo 7 would me you have to upgrade your hardware, so lets worry about getting the most out of 6.5 and enjoying it
when i bought my tp2 last night the guy at the tmobile store said i can upgrade to windows 7 but i wont have my favs cuz tmobile doesnt support windows 7. JUST A FYI.

here some pic`s
the people at T-mobile, will tell u anything.
check this example, I always just call Tmobile, tell the the phone I want and it goes on my account. I called for the TP2, and the guy said we have it can ship today, but if u go to a T-mo store they can break the payments up so I don't have to pay the full $400 something price on the next bill worse case secanario I'd have to pay the fist payment on in at the store., I said ok, let me check this out if nothing else I'll get the phone today. went to my local T-mobile store, guy said I had to pay 300 something today and and that I had had a 120 dollar credit, and that would be split over the next 4 bills. I said Peace and got my phone 2 days later no money outta pocket?
Windows Phone (Moible) 7 only runs on two processors - Snapdragon from Qualcomm and Terga from Nvidia.
In 7 there is a concept of a Chassis - A defined hardware specification which is consistant across all 7.x devices. This will allow MS to brings high end computing (read Xbox) to Moible devices.
http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows+mobile+7+chassis+1/
In Short... The only device which is public today and capable of running 7 is the Zune HD. No other hardware in market has the defined spec 7 needs.

I did the exact same thing on 8/12. I called a local store and they told me about the $120 credit and that I didn't have to pay out of pocket if I ordered it from the 800 number. So the guy put the order through for me and all i had to do was call t-mo and tell them to ship it. I asked them about the $120 credit and they told me that instead of paying the whole 400 it could be broken up. 270 something on next bill and 40 on the following 3 bills. I received the phone on 8/14 and still haven't started to pay the for phone yet.
i didnt care i just wanted a new phone i hated the dash3g. but i should of known he didnt know crap of what he was talking about cuz he tried to tell me about skyfire but instead said a different named LoL
I don't understand there end game, I'd rather have it put on my my next next bil via the phone order, cause I over paid this bill, and I'll pay the balance next bill, u don't get any advantage going to the store, At&t use to put everything on my bill, even assecories when I went to the store

I agree, if I hadn't bought an unlocked a Fuze, I would have stood on my head to get what I wanted LOL.
No but seriously, I grabbed the G1 when T-mobile dopped it, hacked it, finally bricked it beta'ing for JF, sold it, and bought an older Glofiish to to have the Winmo back, but I'm use to having my hardware put on the account, a couple of days wait ain't gonna kill me

hehe yea.. .
but anyway if they say WinMo Chassis is Tegra or Snapdragon, in 2010/2011 those will be pretty antique by then i guess...
I just got the TMo TP2 on a new 2 yr contract. I'll be sticking with it and 6.1/6.5 until I'm a free agent again. Then I'll be looking for a TP3 powered by the Snapdragon 2 and WinMo 7.5. Or maybe wait out a 3rd year for the TP4 and WinMo 8.
S
By the time it is out, the TP2 will be old news at a guess.
Never the less I'm sure devs here will give it there best efforts to run it on as many devices as possible. Until we actually start seeing Win Mo 7 builds tip up, we arn't going to know.
P.S. I wouldn't take those screen shots as much, have you seen the number of changes to the 6.5 UI in the last month?
Thanks

I know this might be the wrong forum. But where else would I post a question regarding the two phones...
I currently own a G1 and I'm more than happy with it!
None the less, I've been tempted to get myself a G2, Magic, MyTouch, or whatever the official name is at this point
The G1 has 192mb of ram, so does the G2.
Only thing different about the G2 is the rom, which doesn't really matter to me. And the better Camera, which is sort of nice..
Now, I know there are 288mb of ram versions of the G2, but does that really account for not having a keyboard?
I can't really make up my mind.
I'd like to have 288mb of ram, but I'd miss the G1's keyboard...
Anyone out there that went through the same struggle on deciding which phone to keep/get?
Thanks in advance

the camera is the same on the g2 too
I believe that only the 32a boards have that much ram, and from cruising the other boards, I believe that the google brand phones like the mytouch has the 32b board like ours and that has the lower ram. In conculsion, I think you might have to get an overseas one from ebay or something to get the extra ram
The camera is the same on the G2? What a bummer.
Looks like I'm just going to keep the G1...I mean, If I were to get the G2 with 288mb of ram I'd gain...nothing. Since I'd still be running cupcake, speed wouldn't be an issue and I'd rather keep my keyboard.
I'd still like to hear from those who have made the switch to a G2. Do you like it? Why or why not.
Thanks to all who have responded!
The biggest thing would be the reason I got a G1 in the first place.... a physical keyboard.

g2 is actually the g2 touch for tmobile uk aka htc hero
get your names right. the tmobile US mytouch was NEVER called g2.
mytouch = google branded ,tmobile US with 192mb ram
htc magic = htc branded with 288mb ram but no US 3g support
Dude. The G1's only been out for about a year now. Wait another two, and then pick up one w/ a keyboard and the better stats you'd have then.
'Till then, just keep killing your SD card w/ the linux-swap partition unless you think CompCache is your thing. Tweak the settings 'round, see what comes of it. (Overclocking + CompCache = almost as good as anything coming out on the market, natively speaking, for at /least/ the next year.)

G2 used to refer to the HTC Magic / HTC Sapphire, until the release of the MyTouch, which changed pretty much all of the names.
Also, don't try to bash when you don't even get your specs right.
The HTC Magic does not have 288mb of ram. Only the oversea Magic's have 288mb. A trip to www.htc.com could have enlightened you.
But wow, way to get all pissy over a few mixed up names because every provider likes to change around the names of phones every 5 minutes.

Although I agree he did get a little testy when correcting your error, he never said the us magic has 288mb. The only us version of the magic is the mytouch 3g, you can't buy a US magic besides it. The HTC Magic is a overseas phone only, so you must not have understood what he was saying.
Damn u.s always get ripped off, overseas they get the magic and all we get is a water down mytouch which just sounds perverted, and name wise the g1 sounds like a gay sex toy maybe a sawzall with a weird attachment..........nasty mental image.......get out of my head
Well it doesn't really matter what the name is or how much ram which version does.
In my opinion, a little more ram is not worth the switch if it means losing a hardware keyboard.

HTC MAGIC DOES HAVE 288mb RAM!(like i stated) and its only available OVERSEAS and in canada on the ROGERS network. so uhm get ur sh*t straight and come correct.
NO HTC MAGIC WAS NEVER released in US . so of coarse the only ones that could be called HTC MAGIC come from overseas.(or canada)
so a trip to htc.com has enlighted you. so dont try to bash when you have nothing to bash on.
and actually these names were finalized and are not going to change once the device is released.

I have had a similar look into g1 vs g2 in the UK and...
I ordered the G2 from Tmobile UK but they sent me the G1 which at first I was like no way with.....BUT!
After looking at the specs on the net the Dream (G1) and the Hero (G2) Tmobile uk are not much different.
The Hero has 256mb more RAM and ROM that the Dream but at the expense of the keyboard. The screen res and processor are the same speed. I am thinking the only reason for the extra RAM and ROM is to support the Sense UI interface of the Hero and thus id be be swapping a useful hardware keyboard for extra widgets.
I have 3 screens to mod on my G1 not the 7 of Hero but I suspect if you mod all 7 screens with widgets the Hero will be about the same speed if not slower that the G1.
I personally cannot see the point of chaging it now as the full QWERTY is worth more than a few widgets most of which can be found on the market in variations anyways.
In short wait until the bring out a decent G1 upgrade with Keyboard. Who knows HTC might actually get there finger out look at the likes of Sony Ericsson and Samsung and think hmmmm our processors are a little slow and beef the next gen android up a bit.
So I have found a site (don't remember where) saying that this phone will be released feb. 2010 to the uk. Can anyone confirm this and also is it going to be released to the us. I remember reading that it had the t-mobile 3g band, correct me if I'm wrong, so doesn't this mean us in the united states should be receiving it? Or am I just out of my mind.
They say that it could be on T mobile or ATT or possible both.
This link goes into detail. Hope this helped.
http://www.i4u.com/article28090.html
Looks pretty sweet, hopefully tmo us gets it.
Yes it does look pretty sweet. Even though it has no physical keyboard it does have snapdragon, among many other great features,which in my eyes are much better. I have been doing some research on it and sites are offering presales but with the tag of nearly a grand my only hope is that t-mobile has been holding out for this device in lieu of others (droid) and this is why they have offered nothing to great since the release of the dream.

Yes, as discussed in the orignal thread over a year ago, that SoM wont fit, you can see by the pic it has a different connector.
No one does 2Gb RAM either, despite the RK3188 being compatible with 2Gb, maybe wait for the Octacore ?
I've been looking for and RK3188 for an upgrade. I've found a couple sources (Aliexpress and Jacky), but both are $110-$130. According to what I've read in the past threads, this is pretty high. Anyone care to share their source and price as a reality check.
Thanks!

Doctorman sells rk3188 soms for 80 euro excl. Shippingcosts
For anyone interested.
I contacted him and the price seems to have gone up significantly. The email I got said RK3188 is 125$ shipped but if you return your RK3066 I can refund 27$. Considering shipping, that makes the board about $100.
I have to think the RK3066 will bring more than $27 on eBay...
Anyone found any other reasonable cost options for a rk3188 upgrade from rk3066?
I ended up getting mine from Jacky (search the forum for her email) for $95 shipped - that was more than I wanted to spend, but it's hard to shop price on these. I had also emailed my retailer (Pumpkin Auto) a week before I emailed jacky and they got back to me a day after my order shipped from her - they offered to get me one for $75 shipped. That was more in line with what I expected..
Good luck
Followup to the RK3188 install. I got it in today and flashed the latest MAL ROM. This is FAST. Cold boot time is around 20 seconds and everything is super snappy.
Heres a head scratcher - with the 3066, I could use my steering wheel controls (using a CAN bus interface from PAC-Audio) with no issues. With the the new CPU/ROM, the SW controls works *mostly* as expected, but its a complete mess with Poweramp. I get 'double' presses (advances/rewinds two tracks) and it mutes the audio every time I change tracks with the SW button. I've verified mapping and the SW buttons work perfectly in other apps. Any ideas?
Thanks.
More info: so I figured out the issues were caused my XposedMTC somehow. I had that installed to customize the sources so I could loop thru just the ones I wanted with my SW source button.
I uninstalled XposedMTC and everything is back to normal, but I have to cycle thru all inputs... Not the end of the world, but confusing.

For me, this is a major reason to buy Joying over others - after sales service and support.
Great stuff!
