i love it, works like a charm for me, but you need to take others opinions like a grain of salt until you actually try the device yourself..
I think the Diamond will have some issues as lots of other devices, but they'll be worked out with later ROMs.
Are you in the USA? If so how can it work like a charm with NO 3G or 850Mhz support? So if you are an AT&T NO EDGE?????? I have the unit and use both SIMS and no better one or the other..

Did i say i was in the US? if you look up the right on my profile you will see a flag, if you put your mouse over it you will see what country im from.
The only thing I dont like is the ring volume which is quite soft...

Walshy, are you using it on Next G? I've got one coming (I'm using VF 3G) - it was posted from Sydney Monday evidently....

nah i bought a prepaid optus sim and testing it with that at the moment, $70 bucks gets you 300MB and some decent call time so thats cool with me, and whey optus roll out their 900Mhz 3G network it will work a treat...
this phone doesnt operate on NextG(850Mhz) it's 3G bands are 900/2100
telstra are a rip off. im on optus on a $70 prepaid turbocharge. gives u $650 worth of calls/txts/video calls and 300mb of data.
telstra soon enough will drop their prices when optus roll out their 900MHz HSPA network.
my advice: go for touch pro if kb and memory slot r important to u.
Hmm, just got mine and have that horrible sinking feeling that I've blown £400 on something that I'm not going to be very happy with.
First, it crashed when loading the customisations, so I hard reset and this time it went ok, but then another application (Touchflo) crashed soon afterwards. It's been ok since, but doesn't inspire confidence.
Second, Touchflo is quite laggy at times and also fiddly, these may be issues for me because I have big hands.
Third, the whole Touchflo thing seems a bit fiddly, I'm almost tempted to run with a standard HTC or Windows 6.1 homescreen to see if there's any improvement.
Fourth, the soft keyboard has keys that are very close together, even in portrait mode the keys are a bind to use.
Fifth, wifi not working very well with my router, keeps disconnecting, but my TyTn2, S730, S710, TyTn, E51 all work ok on it.
I've not had a chance yet to test battery, call quality etc.
Fingers crossed it's just a learning process and with time maybe the whole Touchflo thing will be refined a little more.
It certainly doesn't feel anything like as slick as my Ipod Touch for typing, browsing, music etc.
I have a bad feeling that I should have waited for the 3g iPhone.

Hey, don't get too down so soon...have a look for the Diamond tweaks - they'll speed up your device (especially TouchFlo) like you won't believe!
That's the difference between the Touch Diamond and the iPhone. It's much easier to fix problems with the Touch Diamond through registry edits and third party software, than it is to fix problems with the iPhone...

Yeah, but why the heck do we have to!? Can't HTC build a quality device that just works out of the box?! Then leave it to us mostly to customize it and somehow improve its usability!? Man, everyday I read about newer and bigger bugs and flaws. May be most of them will be overcomed thanks to this comunity, but were is HTC with its support for its high-priced devices!?
I'm a tech geek alright, and I love having all the newest tech gadgets around. I've wanted to get a WM phone so many times throughout the last few years but they were always behind in lots of aspects compared to the Symbian ones. Then HTC released its TyTNII with its holy specs, great design and somewhat compact size. This was my phone! Yeah, right! Then I found out about this huge issue with the video performance and followed it for about three monts waiting for a solution either from HTC or XDA. And OK - HTC had some problems with Qualcomm support for its stolen from Broadcomm chipsets whatever. So they announced Touch Diamond with a new chipset and "3D GPU" which "processor enhances the user interface". And then again it needs tweaks to make it - not better, but just usable. Then all the other bugs and flaws users say about in this forum.
Well damn you HTC, I'm about to leave the idea of having WM phone again. And that from a fan of yours that followed you back from the era of Qtek devices.

So wht is the verdict guys... is it worth buying it or wht i was planning on buying it but i heard a lot rumours tht is it really not worth it... cause the main problem is it is really slow!!!! even after applying the tweak to speed up the phone cause after tht it seems u'll need to soft reset a couple of time and even hard reset....
So the million dollar question is buy or not to buy???

Maybe a WM device just isn't for you. I wouldn't be happy if I wasn't constantly fiddling anyway, so it's better for me to get a device that needs improving than to get a device that works fine (because fiddling will break it).
Does anyone else have problems with Xbox live crashing? Has anyone else had this issue more important has anyone got it working?
If you mean the XBOX Live Extras app then yeah, it crashes when it starts. And from what I've read on the reviews part of the marketplace, everybody is having that problem.
The actual XBOX Live Hub though works just fine.
exact same here, even though i did get it working for all of 10 seconds the extras bit, then it crashed on me. just glad im not the only one having the problem
Same for me too
XBOX Live Hub works and played a game , but the XBOX Live Extras app will not work one bit , justs starts to load goes black and back to home screen .....
Any news on a fix for this ?
I have the HTC HD7 ..........
By the looks off it it only the HTC it not working on
Do u think we will get a fix or not ?

Xbox live extra is not on the marketplace now and if u click on the link in xbox live u cannot download or share it .. {Hope this is a sign it is being fixed }
Not a great start, especially as it's a specific problem to the HD7. I wonder in what other ways the HD7 is different and if this problem will occur for other apps.
Also i'm not too happy in the way Europe is being used as a glorified beta test for America. We get to deal with all the immediate problems..

If he's only had his phone for a day or so, he won't see it. Seems the XBL extra app was pulled to be fixed, at least on the HTC's.
was just mentioning why his Live wasn't crashing like the rest of us... oh wait I reset my phone so I've not got it either lol oh well it'll reappear working hopefully, and has HTC updated 6 of their apps already?
I hope I was the beta user... I dont mind dealing with initial issues but be the first one to have new phone availability.
I need to buy my phones in Europe and ship them to Mexico because if I wait for Mexican companies to introduce them I will wait a year and will pay double the price (we have the worst Phone companies).

Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.
This one has been beaten to death in other threads but for what it's worth +1 for tethering feature here as well.

Doesnt do us much good, and I really hope they come out with it soon, even if it is third party like we had on the HD2, i hate dragging my HD2 around to see clients just to have that one feature.

not that I have seen, my HD7 is a paper weight right now, since that is all it is good for, i got fed up with all the missing things went back to HD2.
Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

Eh u just got the phone, give it a few days, ull grow to hate it
But yes, tethering not present is a big let down, along with many missing items, and the mid January BIG update, is nothing more then new fixes for market place and cut/paste to shut us up, which is still not here soooooo....
thats why im glad i kept my HD2
has anyone tried using the DFrouter xap posted in the hd2 development forum? You need a jailbroken device for that though..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?
Hello everyone, new on this forum. wanted to say hello.
I own an LG O2X and suffer from almost all of the problems the rest of you mentioned.
I've been following the threads for some time now. Hope LG fixes this phone soon because as for now everyone I show the new phone to doesn't understand "what's so good about it?" LOL
i'm a happy one
have had O2X for a week now, and am pretty happy with it. but it is my first android, and i'm running MCR/Fear edition.
the only thing that i am missing is wi-fi calling (uma), which is only stock-installed in G2X.

Why can't you use skype instead? Or is it not the same?
Ive had mine for about a month now and cant fault it in anyway, compaired it against my old desire and friends iphones and it's on top without a doubt.
Gingerbread will be rolling out in the next couple of weeks i would of thought which will make it even better ;-)
I have it since yesterday and no problems so far, its lightning fast but I like the looks of my arc more. Still in doubt which one will be my daily phone, I like them both.

I didn't look into Skype, because my wife (with regular cell phone) can't reach me on Skype (free account), unless they provide free incoming call number.
I prefer (1) UMA/GAN, (2) Google voice/Talkatone-like app on android, and (3) other SIP, but that's just me. Beside, I think any T-Mobile user should be able to use UMA/GAN via app.
I have a feeling that eventually telephone/cell-phone will migrate to IP based protocol, and service providers will become merely data provider. The question is when and if they will be willing to. I'm sure there will be issues and reluctance. I read somewhere and Verizon is looking into voice over IP (or a name similar to that), to enable "talk and surf at the same time" like GSM can. Now I'm babbling.... Anyhow, CM7 might have already included UMA/GAN. I just need to test it when I have a chance.

tab 8.9 When upgrading rom to 3.2 I can or not.
yes you can

realy? Thank a lot.
what?! I was under the impression that would only work in ICS?
Am I wrong? What do I need to do to use the GSM modem for calling on my 3g tab?

No you can't or if you can give us a clue on how to do it !!!
I have upgraded to Overcome 2.1.0 with 3.2 firmware and actually I have the "Phone" app which seems to work. I didnt tried to call because of my contract with the TIM brand, I can only navigate. Promise I will try this afternoon!

Use the SIM card from your phone when you do try later! If this works, then this is fantastic news!
I saw it pop up too but when you try to call out it errors out with a 'voice calling not supported' message.
I wonder how to get past that. Do we need a different radio rom or something.. ?
It would be awesome to get this working.

Other than pre-release press shots, no one has shown a Tab 8.9 or 10.1 with working GSM calling capability. Chances are if it's ever going to be made to happen it will be by a developer who is probably a member of XDA and s/he will post either screen shots or video. Until then, it's safe to assume that no Tab other than the 7, 7+, and 7.7 will ever be able to make GSM calls. There's hope that ICS may change that but for now it is what it is. And unless someone does post proof that it's been made to happen take anything said with a grain of salt.
Amen, lets make this a sticky.

If ANYONE claims they have working GSM calling capabilities on their 8.9/10.1, be prepared to present hard proof, or keep your silence!
Call =no, SMS=yes

Yeh,.. same here, I can send and receive SMS.
dial rooting
Hey ppl... well.. i just got my p7300 today and was more then embarassed tp find ou that it has no call functionality whatsoever after i torn the packaging apart at the shop. I just got a bit suspicious after i came home and my girlfriend told me that she could not reach me.
Long story short, i thought that i pass by @ xda to check the devs. Now ive seen that even around here nobody managed to get theor heads around it. Now that i have to use my old x10i i thought that it maybe is possible to somehow use the x10 as modem while using the p7300 as dialler.. maybe via bluetooth or sumthin like that>?!
Dont know if that would be usefull enough for others that a dev puts his head into it or if ot would not be way to complicated but thats on you to decide as i am no [email protected]
Cheers
Where can I get this firmware? Can you gimme link?
