I am thinking of getting this phone , but the price tag is just a turn off .
So can someone please advise me, if it is worth paying that sum of $ for this phone ?
How lag is the phone ?
Only you can answer your question! Whether this phone is worth it to you depends on what you want from a phone, I can tell you one thing though, it is not laggy.
i am kinda new to HTC phones ,
can someone explain to me the meaning of ROMS?
ROM updates
A ROM update means that it will replace all current software on the phone, and replace by a new operating system just as when you format your computer
The diamond 2 is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.1 but HTC is going to make a free ROM update with Windows Mobile 6.5
so it's a kind of update Here at xda there are many ROM Cookers, these people make there own improvements to the rom, eg udK has released a rom for Diamond 2 where you can turn TouchFLO 3D in landscape mode. These rom usually improves performace and ram usage too but they will remove your warrenty
personally i think this is the only HTC that is worth getting. small, sexy and it works.
worth every little penny

where can we get the rom? I really want my applications do be in landscape mode
I just did a flash to 6.5 I got everything work cept the Sprint TV Ive tried every cab file I could find and each time it reads back cant connect to server Im not on wifi or connected through a usb to my computer any suggestions.
I can only suggest to keep searching. The problem may be that there is no official cab for windows mobile 6.5 yet. You may have to wait until the official release of windows mobile 6.5 on october 6.
Good Afternoon Folks,
Is there any implications of putting the Touch Diamond 2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom on my Touch Diamond?
has anyone tried it?
Ok so maybe the only here experiencing this? i hope not.
thus far i've tried a bunch of roms like the
Christian_WWE_3607_Full,
EnergyROM_28008_KOVSKY_02.Dec.2009_Standard,
x1_firestorm_v5.0.28005LEO-MAX
i like them all however i favor ..the energyrom ...
the only issue is they all are slow... boot up is ridiculous.
so i restored my device to a 6.1 official rom and the device is suddenly very pleasant and fast.
with that said I'd really really really like to switch to 6.5... why are these roms slow?
is it a 3d driver issue? i installed the x2 display driver on my current 6.1 rom and .. well its already quick so i dont know if it made a difference. do i need to install the same driver on the 6.5 roms?
please advise.
6.5 Roms SLOW on X1i
I too am finding Roms based on Manilla 2.5 slow. Using Roms with Manilla 2.1 are much more sprightly but lack a few of the features in 2.5.
Think about an old computer with preinstalled window xp. What happen if you decide to upgrade to Vista? it will slow down the computer for sure and this is why sony doesn't have official winmo 6.5 upgrade for xperia. Anyway, Gtrab and Jerp are two fastest ROMS I experienced so far.

uh. no. this doesnt apply.
the x1 is hardly a "slow computer".. your comparison doesntly apply.
i brought up the d3 driver because that maybe it considering its not an official rom from SE meaning maybe something is missing?
Umm, well, zizoty, why does X2 has nearly same specs, but is coming with 6.5? It's just about optimization I believe. 6.5 Roms without manila (Like SEX1 5.7) do work smoothly and fast actually.
You guys are right! I guess we all have to wait for the official release of x2 and dump it content into the X1.
if someone wants to try the x2 display driver with 6.5 rom the link is:
http://dc172.4shared.com/download/1...ideo_Driver.zip?tsid=20091204-145003-8ad64942
i plan on trying it myself but i have to flash to a 6.5 rom first. ...
if you do try the driver with winmo 6.5 please report if you notice any improvement and with what rom.
for the slowing problem, try changing the pagepool, you can find the link in this forum easily.
Anyway, usually, pagepool already changed to a larger number by the cooker
I have tried quite a few ROMs 6.5 and so on but I'm currently running a stock 6.1. Guess why.
I have tested OpenGL abilities of a few WM 6.5 ROMs, too bad I didn't actually write down the actual numbers, but I can say that the ROMs I tried all made the scores drop around 25%, and the X2 ATI drivers didn't help much. The stock ROM however, gets a little boost with the X2 drivers, which might not be worth, playing with the original ROM.
Hello everyone,
sorry, I couldn' find any clues on this one, so I open this new Thread.
Is it a big difference on how long my Kaiser can Run between WinMo 6.1 and WinMo 6.5 ?
Is it like some Minutes or some Hours?
Thanks for Answers
Moved as not ROM Development.
Resources\Services = power hence there is more going on with a 6.5 ROM than a 6.1 to which equals more power drain.
No one will be able to give specifics as so many variables such as radio what programs you use how often you use data..... etc.
