OK, it exists, but does it have TouchFLO 3D?
Its essentially the same phone, and its real name is probably 'diamond touch pro' so i'm sure it does.
eeeeww those round corners
pics show it has pink touchflo 3d i think
ie tmob touchflo 3d
LOL yes it does.

I tried to resist, honest but ...
It's a good job that I'm better at resisting, for all of our sakes.
Does anyone have specifics on the release date, other than the ambiguity of 'Q2 2008'?
well july is q3, so before the mda diamond is released? its q3 id say... september maybe?
www.gsmhelpdesk.nl says Q2. Maybe they're planning a simultaneous release?
AFAIK, both devices will be avilable at the same time.
T-Mobile press release said end of summer, so I'm guessing September. At which point, my Diamond will be handed to the wife, and I'll have a keyboard and 8Gb+ of storage back again...
lool
me too
but mine will be handed to ebay/ some random girl i might find over summer who knows wht wm means

Haha...I'm betting on the first. (I'm not saying you won't find such a girl).
BTW, I may develop a habit of attacking your Raphael with my Touch Diamond.
12 hours on, and specs are more solid now. reports suggest 256 ram and 512 rom!!! i may well not get a diamond and get this. Paul from modaco says july on tmob, so before that sim free... if some better release date estimates come, and theyre around july, ill get one. if none come, il get myself a diamond...
edit: http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/en/read.php?id=2918 at the bottom of the vario iv section, just before the specification link: end of summer...
diamond it is

There's no need to get excited over so much ROM...
You're making my poor Touch look so old (128MB ROM, 64MB RAM)...
because it is. it was underpowered, and released with half the ram and rom of devices released before it, and then devices fom htc released a month later. thats why i got an elfin not an elf

Shutup. Have you ever had a first-hand HTC device?
and it starts? how many times have u flashed a rom? is your touch even cid unlocked? do you know what cid is?
ive had 4 htc devices and 5 ppcs in total, and all have been flashed with custom roms.
so end of argument.

I got you the latest information from INKINO. Have you edited the registry to get more out of the built-in software? Have you edited the original TouchFLO animations? You use the easy methods to improve your device, by letting others do the work or by simply ripping stuff out of ROMs.
I'm new to HTC and I have now had the Diamond for around 3 weeks, I do understand that no device is perfect when it is first released, actually no device is perfect . Later down the track I'm hopefull updates will be released to rectify some of these bugs we are experiencing! (especially the RAM leak, it's just plain nasty)
Now what is HTC like with there support, what is there timeframe with updates and new firmwares etc. ?
If you look to the kaiser then it will be a year from the release date.
I have no idea but have you checked HTCs website for any rom updates??. A forum member mentioned that there is a new rom out 1.35 i think. Best thing to do is head over to HTC and see if they have any updated roms or check in the rom section of this forum.

Yeh, i checked the site, HTC e-club Hong Kong, no ROM love there.
I hope that HTC will release updates on a more frequently basis, since HTC tried to make the Touch Diamond a real iPhone killer. Weather or not they succeeded in this goal, is open to discussion, but they will loose the battle for sure, if they don't manage to keep the customers happy.
One of the ways to keep the customers happy is to make sure they don't have to wait for almost a year on new updates. The phone was only recently released, so I'm not surprised that is has some minor issues here and there. I would be surprised if it would take months for the first update to appear, since there is more than enough feedback.
Yo HTC guys! Are you reading this? I'm afraid not...
I have insider info that the TFLO3D is being revised for better performance due to lag. We should see a ROM soon, either from me or HTC.
Hi guys, bought mine last week and my ROM ver is 1.35.
What do u guys have?
I have ROM 1.35 - seem to have many fewer issues than some others on here - e.g. TF3d reasonably respnsive without tweak, no excesive heat, very good voice qulity (inbound and outbound) on the phone, wife works fine etc.
The latest ROM is 1.37 but still not available at e-club for download, if your country do have a HTC service center then you can give them a visit to upgrade.
hello all. I was just wondering if anyone could update on all possible UI's if more do exist besides Hero and the stock t-mob. I must say i do love Hero very much but more so for me the novelty has allready worn off or maybe im just board with it and love flashing roms. At any rate i was just wondering what else might be available to even try to port or is allready done and maybe just doesnt get any love. Thanks, Veritas
I'm in the same boat as ya. Been trying out different UIs mainly hero and stock ui. I somehow always end up back at the stock ui well cyanogen's ui. I'd say just stick with the fastest ui for now until hero is running completely smooth or buy the htc hero itself. =D
There is also OMS but a working port has yet to surface. There were some folks working on it a couple months ago, but I think they are waiting on a full dump of the Dopod a6188 (the China mobile version of Sapphire/Magic) which runs it. If you want to see what OMS looks like do a video search for Lenovo OPhone.

Your right, we're waiting for xDan to get this dump so can be ported over to dream. Also there is alot of themes (if you look in the theme section) There in a format of a update.zip.
the blur was announced this week. idk if ok to port because im not sure the ui is open.
anyone know whats the most stable hero rom out at the moment?

Yah, the Motorola "Blur" (mentioned in early post) for the Cliq phone would be the next option I think besides the Hero and stock G1. But the cliq is like an 850mhtz phone..If it can be ported, it will prolly have to be cut down to run smooth on G1 and the Hero UI on a G1 still has its issues after months and months of work by XDA devs. Not sure what is in store with the Samsung Bigfoot as far as UI goes, Haven't seen any UI pics, may just be stock donut. LG has an android phone coming out for UK only at this point, but that looks like stock donut.

they're all pretty stable at this point. Try Jac2.1 or Hero2. Both are working pretty good for me.

actually jac 2.1 is not even close to be stable when compared to modaco / akirahs 1.5.1 and jacs 1.6r2a.
2.1 still has bugs that older builds like 1.5.1 and 1.6r2a dont have.

3.1″ HVGA Touch Screen, 320×480 pixels
Qualcomm MSM7201A 528 MHz
512 MB ROM, 256 RAM
114mm x 58mm x 15.6mm
the click is not a 850mhz phone. its 528mhz as you can see. and 256 ram... which is less than hero(288mb) so prolly BLUR might run smoother than hero when fully optimized.
the only android phone that has a processor higher than 600mhz is the sony ericsson xperia x3(rachael) at 1ghz
yeah i have thinking of trading in my g1 for a cliq next month. but the new "ui" is basically widgets that are attached to a blur account. so i dont see this is working on the the g1 we will most likely get a launcher that has 5 home screens and the colors but i doubt much else.
So, now 6.5 is officially released, when are we going to get a proper base 6.5 ROM for our Jades? Come on, there's got to be a genius out there.
I guess all the chefs are waiting for an official HTC 6.5 final ROM dump. I mean that's what i would do, if i were a chef.
Really excited about it.Hope something will come up soon.
When is HTC likely to release an official 6.5 rom for this device?
hi
to my knowledge not now we need to wait for one of ur cooks to use one of the released Roms and cook a good bug free one for us

I asked HTC support a few weeks ago and they replied to me that they won't release a official 6.5 ROM for the Touch 3G. I guess they prefer to sell the Touch2 instead.

Apparently, the Touch 2 will be quite cheap in SEAsia, somewhere between the Opal and Jade. This with increased memory but same processor and same camera as Jade.
yeah i looked at a touch2 ...however the battery is only 1000amh....compared to our Touch 3G's 1100amh
Asked in HTC
I too asked in HTC support.
They told it would take some time for them to release the upgrade for our wonderful jade.
They told to visit HTC site regularly to know about the release.
Waiting for the upgrade.

Means that WinMo 6.5 will be officialy released for our Jade !?
OMG, can't believe it !
I very much doubt there will be an official 6.5 update. Look at it from HTC's point of view, there's just no financial reason to do it.
hi
u nailed it buddy im 100% with u but then we have great cooks so im sure well get a good clean bug free ROM soon

It's hard to figure out HTC's marketing strategy. They introduce a newer version of a product with the same or sometimes inferior features. Take the Touch cruise 2, for instance. The older one had a better camera. The screen of the Opal is lowered and that makes it hard to reach the close button. As for the official upgrade, the word out is it will only be for the diamond 2 and touch pro 2. But when it comes to hotfixes, jade comes in first with practically none= no major issues to fix.
I too have asked HTC support about WM6.5 and have gotten the same answer - no WM6.5 for the Jade. But i asked them some 3 weeks ago, or more. Things may have changed in the mean time.

I thought 21854 is the official release. My future release features 21859 so is a bit newer than the official . I solved a problem it had with office, my mistake after all. So the in the new megade wm 6.5 will have as much bugs as the official release. (maybe a bit less/more)
If u look at the specs of the Touch2, it's very clear it's just an upgrade on Jade. Apart from the improbable stuff like RAM and ROM. the rest are nearly a match. some of the features that jade lacks, just a couple of registry tweaks and shortcut assigned keys..and you're on the GO! Save $$$...and a prettier phone. LOL

More than a long shot I would say, since allowing Jade owners to update 6.5 would mean they would not have an incentive to upgrade to Touch 2. Phones like ours requires a lot of thought at the beginning and more user friendly phones like Nokia are hard to beat. Believe me, I've tried to convert quite a few people!
Well wm 6.5 release 2 days ago. Anyone get their hand on the final release where there isn't any bugs?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/wm65-upgrade.mspx#phoneList i don't know if anyone has gotten it
Samsung released it for the Omnia 2 (in The Netherlands) and T-Mobile Germany for the MDA Vario V.

Maybe you don't understand. Official release means that it is available for phone manufacturers - not for you and me to download and install on our phones.
nope! I don't agree...Official is out so should the cook might get their hands on it. Also Official update is out, that mean the provider such as tmobile would let you upgrade your TP2, but at the moment tmobile US has no upgrade...I really don't care I think enrgyRoM would beat any upgrade or whatever....but if the official is out, this would allow the cook add their own twicks and tricks.
Well, I got it and I must say it's awesome for shipped Rom. Didn't notice any bug and I've never seen such a fast stock Rom. Speed is as it should be. Only annoying thing is the branding.

Just install a custom ROM, they are far better than stock ROM!
