Hello there. I am seriously considering buying this phone and was wondering whether I should or not. Basically all the reviews are saying the same thing: that it has a lot of features that are well implemented, but it's way too slow. I was wondering just how much the tweaks and the available cooked ROMs sped things up, because I really, really want this phone.
Also, what apps from WM5 work on this device? I'm not really sure because of the VGA screen. Does PocketIRC work? What about PocketMusic? I know some applications work and others don't, I'd sort of like to know which, though :/
That information is all available in other topics. You are number #3213423 to post a topic whether he should buy it or not. We cannot decide for you. Read the possibilities yourself and make a decision. This thread, unfortunately like many, is completely useless.
i'll advice you to buy it only if you promise never to post again before you search and read all useless posts (like yrs) and reviews (full of them here and on the internet) that were written on subject. best advice: try google "diamond reviews" (so simple...)
if you don't agree with the above, than buy a polaris and go pest the polaris forum
Well that was completely rude. I decided to ask instead of searching through the hundreds of thousands of posts on this forum before I finally maybe found what I wanted. This is an GENERAL Diamond forum and people can ask whatever questions they want here, whether you choose to answer it is up to you.
Also I have done tons of research, about as much research as someone would do before they're about to shell out $600 for a phone, but the reviews don't really tell you how much cooked ROMs and tweaks help, do they?
If you pricks don't want to help me, fine. I'll ask on another, friendlier forum.
if you''l only be willing to use yr head. go to the "diamond ROM development", there are 7-8 threads with cooked ROMs. read them. usually there is one post regarding the ROM and lots of posts with comments on the ROM. read! you have even benchmarking with all ROMs:

too lazy maybe?

If you'd really done tons of research you would know that cooked ROMs really do help. That loads of software is available and that the phone is found brilliant by many users. Questions about battery, GPS etc are all easy to find. And as I've mentioned, you are not the first with these questions. You just had to look for a similar topic and you would also get the answers.
Whether or not you should buy it is completely personal. No one can enter your mind to have exactly your standards.
If you pricks don't want to help me, fine. I'll ask on another, friendlier forum.

Hmm - and that friendlier forum will probably ALSO have a rule that you should search before asking (and wasting everybody's time). Try reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545

He's back already. Within 6 minutes of his last post in this useful topic he decided to get a Diamond. Quick decider. Wonder how het got all those questions answered without this topic. I mean, it is só hard to find on this forum whether a cooked ROM helps or not!

This post is kinda old but I'll post my discovery.
Tigaduacellular.com is selling the Touch Diamond for the amazing price of $543! International shipping is only $15, I'm definitely getting one.

Could you make us a working g-sensor calibrator ?!
Sorry I was away today
Hi everyone
I am currently looking into all your issues, and hopefully i should have an answer by tonight, tommorow morning at the latest.
By the way I am attempting to program a G-Sensor Calabirator, will keep you updated.
Hope you enjoy your day (each of you )
Thanks

Have a great evening

Just to make sure, does the Map appear when the program is initialized, if not then thats your issue, GPS Location cannot be determined if there is no DATA (Map) to locate it.
Thanks, Ozgur

tom tom v6
Any suggestion?
I dropped my V1615 (tytn II) in the river (damn), have replaced with a htc diamond.
Tried to install the TT 6 that came with the tytn and error message says need a newer version of cab.
HTC and tom tom both say not compatible and and need TT v7 - not available + ive not long bought V6. Also seems to be plenty of people using v6 out there without problems
Dont really know what to do now?

For some reason i could not upload the cabs onto an attachment. Oh well. I have uploaded them to an alternate host and like i said its perfectly legal, no warez and completely virus, trojan, spyware free, i just this second (well literally posted it.

Hello everyone I am a new member with a bit of a problem. I bought my tytn II off of ebay and the seller is no help so I am hoping someone here will be kind enough to lend a hand. when I bring up tom tom on my tytn it ask for an activation code which I dont have a clue about. So I would love to use tom tom but have been out of luck so if anyone could help I would be greatful.
Activation code is something you need to buy from http://www.tomtom.com
If it came with TomTom 7 though, your outta luck for now cause it's not 'officially' available for windows mobile devices yet.
using v6 or 7?
There are versions of TomTom out there which don't need activation - I think v6.032 which came on my CD is the best (I'd upload a copy, but I think the mods won't allow this). However, you still need to buy the maps...
tomtom 6 is my version I am using

Thanks or reading my entire message . Besides the fact that I said I already looked at TomTom and the current version doesn't have US maps yet, and the fact that I was also looking for expense software, your comments were very helpful. Most appreciated.
You asked what is the best, your question leaded that you wanted a opinionated answer, I gave you one. Yes the current version (7) does not have updated maps, wanna know why? then search. However the previous version does have updated maps available. So you asked a opinionated question and I gave you a opinionated answer.
YOUR WELCOME.

Hi all,
Does anybody have the Xperia Vodafone UK ROM?
I know that this question has been posted on here numerous times, because I have sifted through the posts looking for this ROM. I have even contacted members of this forum personally to try and obtain this ROM. Sorry to post on this topic AGAIN, but I desperately need this ROM for warranty purposes.
Any help is very much appreciated.
The Dog
go to the search at the top of the forum
type in the words
xperia vodafone uk rom dumped
and see what happens.
alternatively look through the xperia roms and guides thread, maybe you didn't bother "sifting" past page 7 'cos it's on page 8.
Yea cheers for the info "Sherlock". Funnily enough that page already has an entry in my browser history...
The problem is that the link on page 8 does not work, hence the purpose of my original post.
Although your post did provide some useful information related to my query, next time do everyone and pull your head out of your arse (ass) before making a post of your own.

Listen very carefully.. I really don't like that attitude.
I took the time to rebuild the stock VFUK rom, i posted it.
The link does work, because I've just tested it.
It is on page 8 of the xperia roms thread, which points to here.
ftp://minftp.myftp.org/XperiaX1i/ROMs/VFUK-rebuilt/
The file is called RUU_signed.nbh
Now if you thought the link didn't work then you should of ;
a) said that you'd tried the link.
b) checked to see if anyone else had the problem,
c) if you had that page bookmarked then you'd know that I posted it, yet you didn't ask me for it
So next time as a new member I suggest you be a damn sight more polite!

You need a vodafone touchHD rom!
But I can't find it...
Maybe vodafone never sell touchHD and there is no vodafone rom for it...
no, they dont sell them. orange and o2 are the only ones. a well, ill stick to my 6.5 rom...... think it would be hard to go back anyway.
thanks
