Okay, sorry for the n00bish questions, but I've been on Sprint forever and don't really have a lot of experience with unlocked phones...
I'm planning on leaving Sprint and gettiong a Tilt. So I was watching some you tube videos of the Tilt, and I got to one that was an unbranded Kaiser (or Tytn 2, whatever). Instead of AT&T it had HTC on the top...
Anyway, it had a camera on the front for video calls, and appeared to have all the other features of the AT&T branded device.
Does anyone know if everything works on the unbranded version on AT&T? Would the video calling work? If no video calling, is there a messenger type app that would let me video chat (assuming I knew someone else that had the same app)? And the push to talk? How about the MMS? 3G data?
Any other issues I should be aware of before I buy an unlocked Kaiser?
I'm not a current AT&T customer, but I'm seriously thinking about leaving Sprint and getting a Tilt. But if the AT&T branded unit has less features than the unbranded unit, I'd rather go that route...
i've looked through the htc forums and found other people with this same issue (the Unlocked HTC Diamond thread, http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/1458316/Ulocked+HTC+Diamond ) but haven't been able to figure out a solution, nor has anyone had much response. I have tried calling the US HTC support number, but since it hasn't been released in the US, the guy just said try hard resetting (which I'm trying now), or call back when the RMA dept is open in the morning (@()#*&[email protected])(#$&!!!!!).
All my out going calls, people say my voice is very raspy, or sounds like it's "digitized" or that I was a heavy smoker -- I recorded my self on a spare phone I had and I agree -- the voice is all messed up.
Is this a known problem? Is it something that needs to be fixed by getting a replacement under warranty? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm having the same problem, I'm trying now withthis, manually set the gsm freq. to 850/1900. Last 5 calls have been succesful. Still testing.
HTC Voice Problem
Yes, I have the same voice quality problem. i spoke to the HTC Costumer Service. They said some Bullcrap about the Frequencies being different cuz its not released in USA yet. I bought enough Phones that wernt released in US and i never had this problem.
THIS IS A VERY MAJOR PROBLEM for $650 phone. and HTC is being no HELP.
yah... i'm going to see how it goes w/the RMA dept tomorrow... ugh, what a pos (phone wise)
same problem here. I am disappointed but yet glad I am not the only with this problem. Maybe we can get it resolved.
what carrier are ya'll using w/the diamond? I'm using ATT... perhaps it is a carrier frequency issue?
tmobile USA, only gsm 850/1900 works here.

I have the same issue, but only with GSM network.
UMTS/3G works perfectly.
I've sent mine back yesterday...

I heard many people in Holland has this problem. For now, i dont have it, but then again, i am not calling so many people they call me.

So i would like to know how many people currently live in the USA and at this very moment, not in the future but today, have and would use the front facing camera with something like skype for video conferencing.
would love the feature but we need a front facing camera, so far no network in america would support such feature cuz even though they all claiming to have america largest 3G network, none of them cant even support true front camera vid chat, it sucks and if we do video chat right now, its via WiFi

not true i teather my phone to my laptop and video chat all the time and it works just fine.
This I never understood... I just came down from Canada and got the Fuze... I had expected it to have the front faceing camera. Up in Canada if you're on the Rogers AT&T network they have a TON of phones that use video calling.
Here's a link to their touch diamond.. which you can see has a front facing camera:

it's working great! except it doesn't use the BT mic, only the built in one
just to test this, i purchased two nokia 6120's a while back and got two att sim cards with unlimited videoshare and data on both accounts. Then I attempted to start a video call while on 3g and it failed. this came as no surprise because carriers are able to charge us for video calling and sharing so there must be something on their networks that detects this which means that the netwoirk did not have the rite settings. I attemped this in 2007 so there were no plans to roll it out then
me!
I live in the US and would love this and i know i can see people who call me from skype with video on my fuse just that theres now way for them to see me.

don't you have to pay for it and it only worked for my back camera not front camera.
it is because Americans are deprived of cutting edge technology or something they cant charge us for more down the line. look at verizon and their phones they cripple them so you need to buy the features. thieves

If the AT&T network up in Canada can support it why doesnt their network in the states?

The Fuze isn't the Diamond though. The Touch Pro does have a secondary camera according to HTC though.

I wonder if it's still there and just covered by the faceplate?

I really wanted to take advantage of the front-facing camera, so I'm going to get that software.
BTW, I don't know if I should start another thread, but I always thought the front-facing camera would be a good 'security' camera - is there a way to get it to record in the background?

Because reindeer dont need much bandwidth.
Last time i saw the verizon site at fenway it had 7 T-1's. And they could still improve it. The infastructure your talking about, has to be in place to support all this traffic. That maybe why you dont see a full-on videochat launch in the u.s. yet.
At&t announced 4g buildouts by 2012 in certain markets. Keep your fingers crossed. A mix of land/cell technology capable of all the "wii-max" type features.

The Diamond AND the Touch Pro over seas version have the front facing camera. The Diamond over in Canada on Rogers ATT Network has this however they dont have the touch pro (Fuze). Regardless from living in Canada for years I saw promos for their phones that allowed video calling to other phones directly and thought it was VERY cool. I assumed coming down here it would be the same. I was suprised when ATT in the states didnt provide the service. Not to mention pulled the front facing camera's right out of the phone. My understanding was it isnt there at all, not just hidden under the case.

I would ONLY if there were peope I know that use it, it's a great feature and all, but if you're the only one with it, well, it's kinda useless. My family and friends are on many different networks, AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, T-Mobile as well.

It's not. Trust me
So the new Tmobile Shadow 2 was released not to long ago, and its the first Tmobile Windows Mobile phone to support their [email protected] service. I was wondering if anyone has seen a cab or settings that allow this service to be done with a Kaiser. Ive searched and havent seen any cab files or threads on this so far, so I was wondering if anyone else has seen this done. Thanks.

bump.........
What's [email protected]?
I only know hotspot flat and [email protected]
I'm waiting for the same thing. We need to get UMA support on these! BUMP!!

I'm on T-Mobile. I use NRG ROMs. You will not be able to get 3G speeds with that tilt 2 on T-Mobile; your phone has 3G radios that are used on AT&T, which are different from the T-Mobile radios. This is a hardware feature and cannot be changed.
