Guest paholman Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 CNET have done an in depth review of the Touch Diamond, and they've not held back with their comments, and sadly confirmed what I didn't want to see - disappointment. :( Full review is here: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/0,390301...297107-4,00.htm Is there anyone who owns one willing to comment or post a reply of their own experiences? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sounds like they're using the slow old ROM? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeiChat Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Would be interestied in hearing your thoughts once you've played with the iPhone2 Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yeah, i've never used an iPhone in anger, so may well treat myself to an v2 (especially as it supports Exchange!) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm tempted to pick up a cheap iPhone v1 off ebay once the 3G is out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 That too! I don't care about 3G, nor really the GPS in the iPhone... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Plus it looks like it isnt going to be easy to jailbreak the iphone 3G ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Only a matter of time :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blackice-original Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) HTC is already looking to correct the faults made with the Diamond on the Touch Pro. They're placing a matt finish on the back cover and making alterations to TouchFlo interface according to mobileburn.com They might as well switch it to a quad band as well Edited June 27, 2008 by blackice-original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Only a matter of time :D P Well ok, if the rumours about having to sign up instore or within 30 days are true then it'll be tricky getting hold of them to jailbreak...

As they're being offered on pay as you go I don't think that'll be a problem. When will I be able to play with a Diamond in person? I really want to try one out and see how good/or bad it is? (in a shop without buying one) Edited June 27, 2008 by furby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will I be able to play with a Diamond in person? I really want to try one out and see how good/or bad it is? (in a shop without buying one) I also wanted to know this, went into Car Phone Warehouse and the bloke had no idea what I was on about, though one of his colleagues did say that it was in their newest magazine, so I doubt we'll have to wait long. If the networks are getting in in July sometimes, then I guess it'll hit shops to try then. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me if there is the touch menu like the polaris/orbit 2? i really like the idea that you can do most things without the stylus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 yeah it has the new version of touchflo, you can use the majority of the day to day functionaliy barely seeing winmo or using the stylus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeiChat Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 ...and making alterations to TouchFlo interfaceI saw the same here: http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/htc-tou...etter-than-x1s/ Do you think the enhancements will be made available as a rom update for the Diamond? I'm almost certain I wanna go for the Diamond to save on the thickness, but would be a bit grumpy if they add horizontal messaging etc. (Something both the Diamond and iPhone are missing I reckon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
