  • I have this phone for along time ,please any one help how can i get new battery. i am from Egypt.

  • I had a love/hate experience with this phone when i had it. On the good; Its a tinny size and light, it was one of the first phones that did everything(GPS,WiFi etc) in a compact size. It has capacitive buttons so you can program swipe functions on the buttons. On the bad; it only has 119Mb of ram available to the user, not 192Mb as the specs say. The CPU and ram is very-very slow. The battery life is terrible, and it gets very hot. The old Windows mobile 6 is a poor OS, you can upgrade it to android but the phone is too slow to use it.

  • Have been using my diamond for 6 years now. No problem whatsoever. Needed only new battery and stylus.

  • mine 2 is also in sweedish

  • I have been using the HTC Diamond phone for past approx. 5 years. It has clocked 765 hrs of incoming calls and 830 hours of outgoing calls. I have downloaded tonnes of data. Installed 4 mail boxes. Run many applications. Clicked thousands of photographs and videos. Only expense that I had incurred in these fabulous years of usage is one time replacement of battery that costed USD 50 and only once I had to hard reset the phone as I had fiddled with some critical operating files. So far great phone!! I had never imagined that I would ever use a phone for so many years. Still I do not find any problem, but with the changing technologies, the phone appears to be outdated as the newer applications do not work on it and also the OS cannot be upgraded to Windows 7. Can any one suggest a better phone which can give such marvellous service??

  • Please tell me is that an option for change lang.on English. My htc diamond is with sweeden, but i do not undersund it. I can not found option to change on English. Please help me.

Now run it in your mobile, it will ask where to install in phone memory or sd memory. just select the option Game or any application will be installed. Some application or games file are exe. if its so just connect your phone to your computer by Active sync 4.5 software, when it is connected run the exe file in computer. after a while a messege will b on you computer scree that "look your mobile" when you'll look your mobile screen there would b a messege would you like to install this software just select the location and the game of application would be installed.

  • Excellent phone, tremendous performance, marvelous camera. I have just sold this phone just because it was loosing its value. Its Android Era. But the software I used like GPS direct by satellite, wordbook dictionary, and wobble, skype. I rate this phone 8.9, only this phone lacking of camera flash, a bigger battery and loud music sound. But even it is the best business phone.

  • Reset your phone to FACTORY SETTINGS, HTCs they have a feature that activates before something strange is installed, "it warns you that the program you intend on installing may cause harm to your device", well if that appears I suggest you dont install it at all, if you do its at your own risk. Remember to back up all your data somewhere, e.g computer, flash driver, as you may lose all data on the phone. Try these link , there are instructions on how to Reset your phone, I tried and it worked. Hope it helped!

  • i can't connect this phone to my pc wd7!!! i have use window mobile center but can't connect , help me please...

  • Real help to simcard problem: Remove the back of the phone (slide it off by pushing the back panel upwards, then remove the battery and insert the sim, the battery is also a lock/place holder for the battery so it won't fall out. the Sim-Card slot is next to the battery. Note: if your previous phone was a iPhone it is possible you have an Mini Simcard that won't fit in this phone. you can then go to an decent phone shop and buy a simple and cheap mini-sim to sim converter/adapter. i hope this helped you out.

  • Okay right a phone where you can't insert a SIM Card? whahha you really make your nickname came out :P This phone has no sd-CARD slot because it already has a 4GB internal memory, but a phone does need a sim-card else you can't make phone calls hahah. but now an real answer to the sim question: Remove battery cover(slide off back of phone), then remove battery and slide in the Sim-card in the slot next to the battery. You will need to remove the battery because the battery also functions as a battery lock/place holder.

  • i used it for 4 years really great one

  • on the last comment, you said you can not find out how to insert your sim card, well this phone does not have a slot for a sim card! read above! thanks:)

  • Can we use Tata Indicom CDMA with this phone?

  • I want the HTC touch pro battery

  • Look up "XDAndroid". Mind you, installation is not very easy at all and Android has to run *on top* of Windows Mobile so expect your battery to be wasted *very* quickly and the software to run quite slowly. A waste of time in my opinion until Windows can be removed.

  • dear Can we update the windows version or not in my touch diamond ? Its really a better cell phone.

  • after years of use it is my main phone. the most beautiful handset ever produced. (my friends still wanna buy it). Razorsharp display, durable build. Sadly the battery is underdesigned (does not matter, have charger at home and in the car). I guess the processor is also underdesigned due the vga disp. (my trinity is much more fluent with spb mobile shell). Collects fingertips just like other shiny black finished handsets. very painful the lack of mem card slot, but can live with it. so far one stylus has been replaced. massive built, serves long ago. a piece om heart, never sell it. lives together by me with a trinity a desire z.

  • HTC is such a nice phone..... i like htc company

  • Htc has removed it's older phones from it's support website (don't make any sense) though they are considering listing them back. I recommend using a custom rom. Carefully choosing the right one will bring new life back to your diamond.

  • I have been using this phone since two years.It looks beautiful,one of the most beautiful phones launched by HTC.Lets start with battery,its bad,battery drains very fast when one uses Wifi,Videos and calling.It has to be charged in a day minimum.Though tweak came for it,1340Mah battery but dont buy it,it hurts the system cause the board was not configured for the thick battery hence one has to use the normal one.Another disadvantage is the touch,you have to use stylus for most of the time for accuracy.Also the application,there are very few say 20..thats it. I still love it,cause it looks classy and does all the remaining functions.But yeah For new users DONT BUY IT.Those who have it dont sell it.It is a masterpiece of that time. Using it since its launched!!

  • Good: Display is Good Bad: Very Poor battery. It lasts a day if you don't use it. The back cover is loose and it becomes difficult to handle phone The touch is not very responsive and small icons make using the phone very difficult Difficult to forward messages Although the phone has an unified search, there is no separate search for Music player app No memory card slot It takes time to understand how to use Bluetooth on this device Not very user frienly

  • there must be a program running background that drains your battery so fast. you should find which one consumes your battery, or do a factory reset.

  • its original battery gives only 2 hours as talk time and in standby it gives only 4 hours i have change the battery and have the same result,,,plx do the needful

  • you must try another battery

  • hey, my phone also suddenly shutdown, and can't turned on anymore, what happen?

  • the battry stoped working and it is not switching on.what do i do?

  • plz anyone can help me to install endroid

  • how do i upgrade the software on my htc diamind 1

  • changing into english verssion

  • select the music file u want to sent then hold down your stick for 2 or 3 seconds then select "beam file" from the option.... u will be able to send music via Bluetooth....

  • Ok I found out that there are a few good quality batteries for diamond. If you buy a 1100 mah battery that is same size with the original one, it is reasonable because it is possible to manifacture a battery as this. However, there are some 1600 mah batteries same size sold online, don't trust them because it is not possible to make such powerful battery with a small size. Also, you can buy an extra battery with +2400 mah, but it will thicken your phone, which may make your battery look 'ugly' In addition, to improve your battery life, install 'sktools' and optimize your phone with 'max memory'. it will help you save the battery. You have to reduce the screen brightness as well. Lastly, you might want to install ''easy today launcher'' instead of touch flo 3d or mobile shell 3d, both of them drain more battery than easy today launcher. good luck

  • which file support to window media player in htc touch diamond.

  • How to Hard Reset the Rogers Touch Diamond via the hardware buttons Warning: All data will be permanently deleted from the device during the Hard Reset process!!! A master reset restores the original factory settings and will erase all downloaded content, including ringtones, camera images, contacts stored in the handset memory, and Java� applications. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available) although it is best practice to removed the storage card before performing a Hard Reset. Back up all necessary data on the device memory before proceeding. Power the device Off. Press and hold the Center Navigation Control Key and Volume Down buttons, and at the same time, press the POWER button once. Continue to hold the Center Navigation Control Key and Volume Down buttons until you get the Hard Reset confirmation screen and then press the Volume Up Key to reset the device. NOTE: Once the Hard Reset has been completed, allow the Automatic Customization process to complete: failure to do so can cause poor device performance and/or malfunction.

  • I have been using this phone from past 2 years and its a good phone to go for. The only negative thing about this would be the battery life, it sucks. I have a apple device and the battery life of that is simply amazing, i suggest HTC to work on the battery thing. There phone are simply amazing and value for money. You can buy some android phone from the market as of now as this phone used OS - windows which is now virtually non existing

It has Windows Mobile 6.1 and you can't upgrade it, you can't find interesting apps for this version of Windows Mobile and the battery is weak.

  • I have had this beauty almost 3 years and it still works with the original battery. Although it lasts without calling half a day. But i have always the USB wire with me and i can charge it with my laptop. I have heard that the new HTC-s also doesn't last more than a day, so there is still no progress in battery industry. Too bad. I will buy a new HTC when the battery lasts at least 3-4 day with miniman Wifi usage, GPS usage, calling, SMSing

  • Hi. A put my HTC Touch Diamond in charge and in the morning my HTC it never more turn on again. What I have to do?

  • This is a great phone. Battery is ok, touch screen responsiveness is great, design is simple but elegant, very light, nice user interdace. The only thing that i didn't like is that the phone is a finger print magnet. Meaning it leaves traces of your finger prints all over the phone. But aside from that everything is great. I will give it a 9. ^_^-b

  • Hi there, to use this phone to send messages to multiple recipients use ; to seperate the numbers. You also can type part of the name of the recipient, the click Menu->Check Recipients, it will then lookup names starting with what u type. Good luck!

  • Hi pal! Remember, on this phone u've got two memory (128MB & 4GB). The first one is meant for the apps installed on the phone to run on it and the 2nd for you to store data. So always use internal storage when uploading ur files.

  • Could someone please let me know difference between HTC Touch Diamond 200 and HTC Touch Diamond 300, are they the same? And normal HTC Diamond, is it the same as 200 or 300? Thanks in advance!

  • go to www.xda-developers.com

  • It goes to your messages then you save it where you want. That's the bad thing about iPhone and Windows Phone 7. Files are only accessible through a host program/app...you can't save them on the phone to a designated place. Phones are being dumbed down...

  • the same way as you updated to 6.5

  • how to change a language

  • phone was nice.but display was shaking when i am recieving my calls.it doesnt fell down even once

  • its always saying that its running in low memory space

  • hi friends , i have 4gb internal memory but if i upload 6 video songs . it will show information .ur phone is running slow . due to low memory space .

  • It's a good phone. Battery lasts a lot too... if you don't use it. Seriously, it easily manages a week in standby with 5 minutes call time per day. But if you're using wireless heavily you'll have to recharge it daily. With games you can squeeze 2 days of regular use, not any more. The best performance tip you'll ever get - install a ROM with the default WM 6.5 (Titanium) look. Runs faster than TouchFlo and is more usable IMO. No more unloading touchflo to use the GPS. But just forget it if you have any intention of listening to music, it is absolutely awful in this aspect. With its stock earphones there is absolutely no bass, with some Sony earphones (that work great on my SE W595) there is decent bass but no treble.

  • hello someone can tell me how to changes the bluetooth name on my p3700??? i hate the lim teck hong names

  • just go to facebook.com, and you should be able to access it w/ no problem...i have a diamond and i could get on facebook

  • Hi roshitha, even I have touch diamond & I was having the same problem about bluetooth but I don't think its a big problem, now come to the main point if your bluetooth isn't working then you have to download bluetooth hotfix support, you just have to visit & then select country then select support & then select you device(touch diamond)& you'll see bluetooth hotfix support, just download it & run it your bluetooth will work like it was before & if your still won't work then just format internal memory (not 4GB internal storage ) & sure your will surely work by doing this. reply me if your bluetooth works fine :)

  • its a winmo phone friend so any application is a given as phones go this is in the high end desire able status. there are millions of facebook apps see htc sense 2.5 the phone is fully customisable thats the reason these phones are so popular with us nerds as we like to tweak the guts out of our stuff. not even android offers such candy..i will do a youtube of the full on eye candy of the entity that is the HTC touch diamond..

  • get to xda developers - download hard spl olinex. get a custom made rom - best one for everyday use and stable issues would be windows 6.1 with sense 2.5 - cookie tab enabled this is 100% customisable. Its like a hd2 mini..dont flash android it will mess the phone up and its not stable at all stay away from android..

  • easy hard spl your phone if you dont mind it should already have hard spl since you have 6.5 - slap a nice custom rom from xda developers forum / JOIN and it will be 100% more sexier - i have sense 2.5 touchflo win.6.1 you wont notice 6.1 as it hidden almost altogether - - I have 30 mbs of memory at any given time - hope that helps but in normal mode the phones crap.

  • my window is 6.5..but why my phone always full memori?? n my program is free on 10mb...how i need to do my program free more MB???

  • This is a great phone with many great features at a reasonable price ... lots of unofficial customizations available like custom user built ROMS and many softwares available.... possible to upgrade windows mobile to 6.5.5 from 6.1 .... running the new HTC sense interface ... able to run google android from within windows mobile ...and lots more only one downside .. battery life ... but that can be partially fixed with HardSPL from olinex and it is also possible to get a custom made larger battery for a price out there

  • Ey Farid ,can u tell me hoow to download or use it 6.5 windows profesional . please can anybody tell mee :(:(:(:(:(:( .

  • im not familiar with this phone and i would like to ask you guys how to store the songs, photos, etc. to the internal storage(4gb)? everytime i transfer songs via bluetooth it's automatically saved to the main storage and not to the internal storage(4gb. that's why it often say memory's too low. please help me, this phone is giving me awful headache. thank you guys!

  • Biggest problem of this mobile is that it has very battery life.... thus talktime and other usuage will ast only for few hrs.... probably 2-3hrs only......... for max. usage u will need to charge twice and depending upon the usage.... Its the phone with great features but zero battery life........

  • Right then, bought it for £50 (posted earlier) and not stopped messing about with it for days. Great phone except for 2 things. Playing emulation games on it is rubbish as the controls are no good and more importantly I want to use it as a sat nav and I'm having difficulty finding any decent compatible software for it. Besides that its a great little phone!

  • htc touch diamond is agreat phone with great functions,browsing is easy and fun,wide screen and full soft touch qwerty keypad,recieving email on the go is another great function that i enjoyed,high picture quality e.t.c,its indeed a graet phone and very adorable.

  • this phone really great!!! stylish, sleek with stunning performance. this phone can install lot of ROM and apps. I use Windows Mobile 6.5.3 with HTC Sense 2.5 and also Android for dual boot. the camera is good in daylight. I love the VGA resolution. sometime the battery capacity looks bad :( just get extra power battery will make it perfect!

  • if u r having all accessories and its in good condition then its m.v is 85 pounds

  • Camera quality is good in day light

  • bad camera no social networking sites bad battery-life -after spending so much on phone itself u will have to spend on battery too would u call it a good phone? i'll suggest u to go for blackberry, at this price.

  • I'm using this phone for 1year and I satisfy with the perform. Stylish and slim pda, make me comfortable to use. The touchscreen good enough ( but not so good if compare with iphone ) I think we just need to common with the touchscreen especially if we use the qwerty mode. The batt is ok, usually I charge once in 2 days. The camera is good enough but no flash. I can enjoy my work with this pda.....

  • Hello everyone,.... the next day i came across a video on youtube which showed the procedure for Installing Android 2.1 on HTC Touch Diamond,... anybody having any idea about that ????.... i m really interested in doing so if its possible ....

  • Whenever I go somewhere where there is no signal my phone freaks out and locks up forcing me to pull the battery. When I turn it back on it won't launch the clock or the apps..there is only a black screen with the start button and then the two options at the bottom of the screen (calendar and contacts). When it does this it says I have no contacts, I can't text anyone, and I can't get into half the programs. Sometimes it fixes itself. It got to the point where I had to replace the phone with a new one and now I'm just having the same problems. Anyone else experience this?

  • 100% agree... itx awesome..got evethng ,...jus bad battery timings ...

  • nice normal

  • got this phone.. n it is totally amazing... i ws scared initially by the reviews i had read... bt eversince i got the phone... i fell totally in luv wid it... only prob..poor battery lyf... bt otherwise its great...

  • they didn't scared me, this phone is the equivalent of Iphone 3G S. It's very fast and the battery doesn't want to empty. I made the right decision.

  • i had a duplicate of this phone completely like it has dissimilarity

  • hi folks just to say that this fone is ok u just need to get used to it and it shall reply to what ever you expect it to do.ok i agree wth the battery problem, buteverything is ok

  • what does werranty mean? you mean warranty?? :)

  • if ur phone is in warrenty then its fine, they will replace the faulty part. but if it's not in warrenty then the cost of repairing ur phone will let u buy an another new phone.

  • kass, how your problem was solved? I am also facing the same problem. My touch diamond is not coming up.

  • how about battery ? how long can standby ?

  • it is a worst phone by htc, with a hand full of problems. it is high on maintainence, and does not at all work properly. poor sound, poor battery and a very bad keypad. dont go with the looks as it looks decent but its a very bad phone. since one year i bought it i am regular with its service centers, with hand full of serious probs. people plz don't buy it.

  • Go to the HTC touch diamond review (Geek's best friend), and jump to page 8 (tweak & mod). You can read and download GSen app. With it, soft keyboard will enable in landscape of sms/email, and more. I think GSen is best app for Touch Diamond. Goodluck!

  • Hey, touchpal is the magic word, just search with google for touchpal, You'll certainly find something helpful...

  • to htc user, I have some question: I heard that this phone can not landscape mode, except in web & photo album, is that right? if right then we can't use the virtual keyboard in landscape? right? is that so hard to input text? because I never use 100% touchscreen before. Thanks in advance. ps: sorry for bad english.

  • hehe. .then buy a new one

  • The bluetooth does not work like a normal phone. very confusing to sen/recieve files. Some programs are in odd and different places and its hard to use at times.

  • it get many times a day the touch system dis-align and you can not press any key /screen which may bring screen alignment. think what to do in this situation. only to throw it.

  • as of June 2010, i still think HTC Diamond still keeps its popularity. It's a very cool designed phone which has a lot of features. Still does whatever the other new phones do. Wi-fi, Gps, Radio, a high quality media player. 640*480 px resolution gives a very bright screen. I think it has few 'cons'. But i am still glad to have this phone. Cons; small (2.8 inches) screen no expandable memory. (4gb) short battery life. (if you use it so much, it runs out in a day) no 3.5 headphone plug. not a good camera at night (just like the other htc phones!)

  • no wlan.cant send anythink with bluetooth.very slow.battery life very short.its like a chinese phone on its softwares and hardwares. if you buy you may seriously regret.

  • how do i forward a sms from this handset??pls help...

  • I've been using this phone for over a year now and all I can say about it is that it never made me regret for switching from Nokia....it's got so many functions and applications, and also the scope of installing most apps is available in it!! Just awesome!

  • english usage

  • i turn my phone off,it has frozen since i try to turn it back on.i restarted it and even removed the battery and back again for like 10 times now,and still no response .what should i do now.

  • HTC products are sucks.... Product reliabilities are not there..... I have one which down after the warranty expired. Repair cost is equivalent of getting a new one.... Trust me.... Don't go for this brand..... Extremely sucks.....

  • I have the phone the battery is very poor. Wont last for two years.When you switch it on ..No service.

  • Its very good for using internet and all other functions,only one drawback is poor battery performence.hav any solution for this?

  • Friends...I am using this set for the past 10 months or so...I am terribly disappointed by it's performance.Within a month of purchase started having rebooting problem...got main-board replaced.It was barely 6 months and last week another problem started--the power button would automatically get pressed and this would happen like that till the battery gets drained.Got it fixed at service center..but within a day it started again.It's now again with the service center for observation. This is my 4 visit to the service center now..and don't know how many more are still left before my warranty is gone in the month of the July 2010.I really loved the features but what's the point if there is no reliability...every few months it would lie at the service center for anything between a week to a month.May be it's my particular device and my luck....but still thought of sharing it...if at all needed.

  • Yes, it does have wifi, It's a great little phone. Top of the range in terms of functionality and very very stylish. Just get a case to protect it fro scratches or prints!

  • im been using htc diamond for just a month,,and really comfortable with it,,my review honestly,,this phone a bit slow,just for the patient one,,design of the phone really cool but the keypad a bit silly,,

  • hello, I m an ex Htc Diamond owner,I used the phone for about a year and from my experience this is a very good phone except that it has alot of limitations,like limited phone memory and ram,if you still want to buy then I advise you to glue your self to xda-developers.com for the latest roms available, cause this phone doesn't deliver the best without cooked roms...tq

  • Dear Kim can you tell me that problem which you had only on your mobile phone or you hav heard it from other persons. And when you buy it don't they give you a garantee?

  • I have had the HTC for not quite a year, at first I really liked it. Now I am having nothing but trouble; my battery will not charge even after being plugged in all night. The time switches over to another time zone and then the calendar switches also. That is fine but when the time switches back the calender doesn't. It also freezes all the time.I still have two more years on my contract and am very disappointed with this phone:(

  • Who can really advicem to buy this model of HTC. Does it work normally or not or is there any problems connected th that mobile

  • verry baddddddddddddddddddd

  • I had the Diamond for 10 months, and it was a great experience, PROS: - great UI integration with HTC personalized UI software, - great touch response, - excellent resolution for the size of the screen, - great GPS signal - very fast processor (with a bad combination of memory capacity) - Small and lightweight CONS: - Speaker phone is extremely low (having a conversation on speaker phone is impossible), - The cover battery slide out easily when you are handling the phone (very annoying) - Run out of memory very fast, it should have at least 512/256 - No expansion slot for MicroSD memory Conclusion: Great phone for entry level users and nice UI,

  • HTC diamond is good to use,but the thing is its quite sensitive.

  • Please tell me, how i can upgrade windows moble 6.1 to wm6.5 in my Diamond.

  • Ive had my Htc diamond for more than a year now.....its a really great phone, sleek design, good feel in hand. I'd advise alll diamond users to hard spl their phones and flash the right roms. they can be found at the xda developers or on mine runs smooth and no freezing at all. A bit of research and tweaking and u will have a superb phone. as for batteries, u might consider the 1340 mah provided by htc or the slim hope the info was useful.

  • yes you can, i have a telstra i think they call it the 3720. anyway i have it on optus and have flashed baked roms as from the standard diamond and all works well. :)

  • heeeyy guyyys! im from Australia and my brother bought the diamond thru telstra, just wondering if you can put a Sim card from a different carrier in the phone? im with Optus and he is giving me the phone. im excited :D love yas, please help

  • hey.. when i m forwarding messages they get saved in my inbox itself after they r sent... how to stop that??? please tell me.

  • Dear you should not use windows mobile. You problem is like baby user. Go for java phone.

  • Go for diamond 2 or se xperia x1. I think they are almost same category phone. ;)

  • My front keypad cover above my home key is getting loose. Any suggestions how to fix that? This is not the best phone but I'm happy with it.

  • I have had the Phone for over a yr. at first i thought it was really good but the memory is a pain in the.... it started coming up critical move files or programs no memory left i did that and all that was left were the addresses, phone no's, Birthdays on there and it was still coming up critical, so what are they saying the unlimited phonebook isn't so unlimited if it isn't just on your sim. i had to wipe every thing and start again reboot it. it's a nice phone but a big let down i keep worrying about the memory I no longer have any ones addresses or birthdays on there and all my friends have their name in my phonebook 2 to 3 times, for each no home,work & or mobile. its crap... And Photos well thats another story it can take a really nice photos if your not taking photos of animals or tobblers any thing that moves and can't sit still for a few seconds. and apparently can't download games but thats not too important to the rest of what it doesn't do.

  • heyyy... i'm thinkin of buying this phone.... is it worth paying so much for touch diamond?? if not, then plz tell me a better alternative for this phone...

  • I received this phone about 2 years ago. I regret every day I receive a phone call. It has a very very bad touch scarm and verycomplicated to get all the option on the phone. Internet almost impossible to get the best they promissed. I will never bu nothing from this serie

  • You can't flash with 6.5. HTC diamond only can upgrade to 6.1. If you run 6.5, you cannot do multi programs as it will froze up your phone due to the memory is not enough.

  • Yes,you can put WinMo 6.5,soon you will gen burn your diamond even with Android Os:D. I got a second Htc Touch Diamond today ... I'll come after a few weeks with a review.Good luck people !

  • can htc diamond be upgraded into wm6.5? tis is the key encourages me to buy tis phone...

  • This phone is horrible i have had it for 2 years regretting everyday that i bought it. You cant do anything complicating with out the phone failing. I can not receive any files from other P.C because it does ot have that in built.

  • yip man i really have to agree with u the people who say the phone isnt good think again its very good. for the people who want more program stability try Android....so far the phone is very good...and the weather comes in very handy aswell...and the motion gaming is cool aswell

  • the phone is very good have used it before the os is very well responding and the touch screen is gr8, and the keyboard is awsum aswell easier 2 text!!

  • hey guys!! i have a htc diamond which doesnt switch on now. the thing is i had a busy day and the phone battery got dead so i removed the battery and kept it separately for a day. then on the next day i kept it for charging and it wasnt getting charged. when i gave it to the service centre they told it cant get fixed. but i find it hard to digest. does anyone know what to do? thanks!

  • you have to flash ROM WWE, thats the english version you can find good roms at xda-developers. but first you have to hard-spl it so you can't brick the phone.

  • Hi I am vicky from ludhiana and i by the HTC hand set of Touch diamond, but i am facing the problem that its battery back up is very short, i want to change the battery. battery of 900 maH(3.7v). so u r requested to please change the battery as soon as possible. pls reply on my mail ID. [email protected]. I want to more back up battery.

  • where did you download the 2.03??? PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • i have this phone f0r 5 months n0w but the language is italian. can anyone tell me how to change the language? from italian to english. where can i find it? tnx. i'm from philippines.

  • good phone

  • go to xdadevelopers and flash a WME 6.5. it is so so much better than 6.1. but be sure to flash ROMs with good reviews. cheers!!

  • Beware, the HTC Dimond is junk. I know alot of people that got these and no one is satisfied. I love technology but this phone is a joke.

  • hello...i want to buy htc diamond...and i want to hear some oppinion about it.please if exist somebody to know about this phone..i give my hotmail id to write me : [email protected] i wait for your oppinion:)...and i really interest about the battery:).10q

  • Just a couple of coments: * what kind of battery you use ? - My phone came with a 1340mAh battery and the specs here on GSM Arena say it comes with a 900mAh one so I'm guessing HTC might have considered a higher capacity battery and I'm luck my device came with one! * Complains about hit the power button and unlocking the phone while it's in your pocked! - Well I really don't like to press the power button all the time to lock/unlock the phone. So I press and hold the end call button and the phone locks in a way that you have to touch the screen where it says unlock and then touch again in a different area where it says touch here to unlock. It's a much safer way to lock the phone and accidentally unlocks are very difficulto to hapen. On a side note if you don't use TouchFlo interface if you use regular today screen you can put the lock device option there so you don't need to press and hold the end call button. It's up to you. * Complains about your face touching the screen and giving commands while answering a call. - When you put the Diamond to your ear, the display automatically switches off to avoid accidental presses due to a embedded light sensor so if your phone is not doing this it might have a problem. * Complains about the phone being slow. - Yes that's true. it's not a fast device and if you do open several softwares together it will work really slow and might even crash. So keep in mind that even though it might be considered a small computer it has limitations, it's not a desktop computer. I wish it was better but it isn't and if you do need a real fast device who can run dozens of softwares there are some options on the market but the Diamond is not one. It does run a couple of softwares at the same time though with very little trouble, which I belive is more than what a reguler user needs. That's it, I'll try to come back with more feedback when I have some.

  • I have some problems with the power button, but other than that I'm happy with it. The ROM 2.03 with the radio 1.17 helped the battery drain issue. It works for me for more than a year. Very handsome unit.

  • ive had this phone for over a year, at first i thought it was good but befor long i started to dislike it, every once and a while when the phone was in my pcoket the power button would be hit and for some reason the first thing the phone would do is start caling people in my resent calls list. when talking on the phone if you forgot to turn the screen off your face would start opening up lots of programs. the web brouser was very slow and often could not load pages causein the phone to freez. even switching through pages like home, weather, setings, and favorites was slow. overall i had a bad experiance with this phone i have since switched to a 3gs 16gig iphone and there is no comparison

  • I have great experience with this phone (diamond). Fully customizable. But there is one problem, the battery capacity is too small and dries quickly when used to access the internet (browsing, chatting). Anyone can give help/advice with diamond battery problem?

  • I have had this phone for over a year and have a love/hate relationship with it. This phone works find for 30% of the time and then starts to behave stupidly/unreliably when it begins to run low on memory (more than 50% of the program memory has to be kept free). For example, I have been browsing and been unable to answer an incoming call because the phone has frozen up. While it had done this it buffered up all my keystrokes and executed them once it had come back to life and proceed to terminate the phone call. This was the final straw! Basically this phone will let you done when you need it the most, either by running out of battery or doing nothing at all (so I also carry my old Nokia N95). Please don't purchase this phone. HTC are very good at putting in the latest technology for WinMo phones. But the TouchFlo UI is a very nice but very, very simplistic attempt to cover up the arkwardness of the Windows Mobile OS. Compare this to Samsung TouchWiz UI, Samsung's effort is truly superb and I am referring to their implementation on the original i900 Omnia phone. This is the phone I am now using and has been working flawlessly, even when running two different browsers, writing note and running a Java browser too, no crashes, no slowdowns, it just works. I miss two features from the HTC Touch Diamond phone, the wheel button that lets you zoom in and out and the higher resolution of the screen. I am looking forward to moving onto the Samsung i8000 phone and will be avoiding the WinMo HTC phones. Also, it would be really useful if GSM Arena did long term tests of phones as well as rating the specification.

  • what kind of battery you use ?

  • very good and true review for this phone btw i have this phone 3 months now and i love it

  • I had QTek S200, HTC P3600, HTC Touch Dual, HTC Vairy and now HTC Diamond... All off them except vairy are great phones in their time... Diamond is the best one... Really Great phone!!!

  • I bought the Diamond a week ago and so far it's doing great, not the best HTC phone I know but still very good, I like the size it's quite small and easy to handle. Intalled GPS software Nav N Go iGO 8 and it works perfectly, it works faster than my car GPS! The skype mobile 3.0 also works fine and I can call people who are online on skype and saves me some money! Battery is decent 4 to 5 days and I do use it a lot, wi-fi on almost all the time, I go on the web, check e-mails and make lots of calls everyday! People do complain about the speed a lot and it's not a fast windows mobile device, I've seen faster devices but I don't think it's slow enough to be a problem the speed on mine at least is reasonable and if you consider what this phone can do and compare it to it's size and portability I think the speed is amazing! Touch screen is good and quite sensitive for a resistive screen but even with the HTC software you will eventually need to interact with the windows mobile and when doing so the use of a stylus pen is sometimes unavoidable even if you have small fingers, hence the fact the phone comes with a stylus and a slot for it, which is magnetic by the way, very cool! Well I'll come back and make more comments when I have more time with the device, these opinions above are not final!

  • the touch is pretty responsive, if not then upgrade your firmware.

  • I tried putting on Windows mobile 6.5 on it today but I couldn't. I don't know why.. I have the bootloader on which makes ROM's that are third parties go in... But when I'm putting on the ROM it stays at 0% all the time.. ;/ Can anyone help there too?

  • I have a great experience in it. If you use the 2.03 ROM its veery fast.. look on you tube.. It's not a problem when you use the T9 on phone keypad mode.. I have small fingers than adults because I'm 14 :)) PS Can someone advise me what to get as a backup phone if this dies? I'm thinking about a Nokia 5530 or a Nokia E63. Please help!!!! AND NOT TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!

  • I am using HTC phones since 4 years, P3450 then HTC Touch and now Diamond, had a good experience with the first two, but diamond is horrible. Slow, Control Keypad difficult to use, difficult to type messages and the worst the Touch Screen problem which i seem HTC has a technical design nag. You need to keep aligning the screen again and again until one day it stops working and you need to take it to service center. What if the phone is not in warranty??

  • i found htc smart phones to be the bomb of innovation

  • Yes i know!! however i have them both and i have a good experience in both.

  • Yes, of course i know!! But lets be honest... Sony Ericssons smartphone.... They are still two different devices... And i know the HTC is better (for me) because i have them both.. I like smartphones... i have many...

  • i will answer u later

  • I would look for answers on forum. There are step-by-step how to update roms which I believe will solve your insert sim problem.

  • Hi friends,.. i have a htc touch diamond.In my mobile not opening all programs,.if i open some message will be came.that is (No program memory available.tap start>settings>system tab>memory,stop programs that did not automatically stop,and try again.)

  • hi friends i have a touch diamond i messed up to it with something it started not to recognize sim card every time i switch on the phone it says "sim card not inserted" and i got it repaired from local mechanic but he was unable to repair it so plz tell me that where can i get it repair and how much will it cost any guess i think the oem sim card tray is faulty

  • No chance of using wm 7. Diamond RAM is limited :(

  • Can anyone tell me how to make my ringtone loud on the htc diamond the volume is on max still its still low

  • is this phone good to buy and what do some eople mean by it lacks and does it ave 3,5 headphone jack

  • Under the Start->Settings->System tab, there is an option for Windows Update. I have never been able to update it. Every time I click on it, I get an error saying "Connection to update server not avialable. Check your data connection and device time and date settings". Is there anyone who has successfully updated it? What could have gone wrong in the system?

  • If Xperia came in first, I would have settle for it. Nevertheless I don't regret having Touch Diamond instead. By the way, Xperia is also made by HTC. However it's being branded and marketed as Sony Ericsson's product.

  • Go to Task Manager and be sure there are no unnecessary applications running in the background.

  • There are already some unofficial cooked ROMs running under version 6.5. Search this forum for more info:

  • From what I read so far, the answer is NO. However the official ROM can be upgraded to version 6.5. Go here for more info:

  • Same with me. I too had a very good overall experience with this device since I got it last August 2008. Of course, LIKE OTHER Windows Mobile device, it needs some tweaking, modding, upgrade here and there. The best resource so far is this forum: The possibility is almost limitless as to what you can do with the device. In short, the device is not for lazy people.

  • i'm experiencing a problem of Zooming in/out when i browze through internet and I don't know whether the problem is with the phone or settingz.

  • Can I install win mobile 7 in this model? Thnx

  • my sister had another problem similar to that, her knee hit the screen and it broke, so i went to a place in jordan it costs 50JDs to fix the screen like 80 us dollars and after a month or so the screen stopped working.

  • After the guaranty periode was over the earphone stop working, I had to use the phone loadspeaker to listen conversation,....touchscreen does'nt work properly, low capacity battery,... never ever I'm going to buy HTC products again.

  • I got a very bad experience with the Touch Diamond after 1 year of using it and it has been completed with the very bad treatment from the maintenence in Egypt. the mother board needed to be changed and i do believe that this action should be done from the 1st month of buying it as there was an error in the USB connector and they changed the usb and now they are telling me that i have to pay half of the device's price to change the mother board because of the miss use, as they suggest may be the device fell down or got a high electricity which is somnething out of anyone's control. i'm very upset and i would advice everyone in egypt not to buy HTC brand.

  • For your information, Xperia is made by HTC. Of course, you won't find the name HTC in the device because it's branded and marketed as Sony Ericsson's product.

  • Any news on getting upgrade to WM6.5....

  • No thats all i have to say its just not reliable...

  • The XPeria might be bigger and nicer... but i wont last too long, because its a Sony Ericsson windows phone. HTC makes touch windows phones from the beginning

  • Yes i suggest it. This phone was used A LOT by me. together i made 74 hours of talking (includin incoming, and outgoing) I droped it many times... survived... These days i charge it ever 4 days, and original batteries on ebay are only 6 euro. :) It's fast, when you turn off the beam and other stuff. As well as what this phone can do, its absolutely great! It does everything! I wouldnt suggest the iphone 3G, because my father has it and he is not happy with it. And he has it only for few months. The battery doesnt last too long... it has a VERY BAD COVERAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely shi* !! And the software freezes sometimes... Overall I would suggest the HTC diamond, because I have a very good experience of it.

  • The first over the actual display is the digitizer, its the part that you touch, and it is plastic. Under it is the display, which is.... just like in other phones.... LED?

  • noone cares about the screen and ummm...how many are sold nationwide..but i love the phone!!!

  • bad, bad battery life, have to charge mine twice a day and also quite slow .... especially at start-up, only frustrates me.

  • hi i want to know of which material is the sceern of htc diamond made up of is it a plastic or a glass surface or any synthetic material?

  • hi i will like to learn of what material the screen made up of is it a plastic or glass or any scratch proof material ?

  • If u have to choose between SE Xperia X1 & this HTC,what would it be?

  • it's ok for a gossip girl.....

  • overall its a good investment better than other phones and very nice design thers no phone devoid of problems thanks

  • To me this is a poor phone - I have had it for almost 16 months now, and really cannot wait to change it on the new contract - quite simply the touch screen is extremely poor, unresponsive, laggy and too small to use fingers to type a message with - you have to use the stylus, which is a right pain. On the plus side there is plenty of software for this phone available, but it does not justify buying it based on the range of software - from my experience stay away.

  • It's great!

  • hi, I cannot change phone language of this fone, if anybody knows please help me, thanks

  • HTC is really a not-so-good company. They overprice their phone, doesnt give good after sales support and now they strip their phones with hardwares just because it doesnt has support in that country without reducing the price. What is this? Dont they have any ethics? I was thinking of buying a diamond. Thank God I havent bought already.Now I'll buy a Nokia only. There is no compariron between the market leader and a third grade company.

  • Hi everyone, I just got the diamond and it is telling me that there is no space left, how do I store music and images etc. on the internal memory and not the phones memory Thanks

  • www.freewarepocketpc.net free site for htc touch diamond

  • Agreed Amit, Had a long e-mail exchange with HTC too on this accord which ended that even if one is willing to pay they will NOT upgrade the radio to 3G in Diamond and Touch Pro( I have both) so these guys are every bit the profiteering slimes while Nokia and SE are giving the 3G radio with all their high end devices since last two years ....however practically speaking 3G is still an year away in India( Even the spectrum has been not allocated yet) as I dont count BSNL and MTNL who do not even have potential 3G users in their subscriber base. So we ain't losing much ...conversely with 3G on the EDGE networks in India too are bound to improve hence it wont be much of a loss unless you are hell bent on Video Telephony...incidentally Indian Diamonds and Pros do not even have a videocall camera LOL...

  • Please any one with free download site for HTC Diamond theme and softwares thanks

  • madarsod basa tik kor tarpor HTC niya kotha koibi..............

  • hi the battery life actually depends on the mobile usage. if the battery takes a long time -may be 2hrs to get full charge. it means that the battery is ok, but if it takes more time, try changing the battery on the phone. that would really give u a lot of difference. And also dont place the phone on charge for more than 2hrs and do also check for the volt.

  • in INDIA HTC is selling Touch Diamond without HSDPA/3G when ever they are selling at very premium price Rs.19000=00/ USD$ 390 truly cheating with customers here

Is there a way fix this?

  • Normally the phone heats on working on Wi-Fi or have lenghty conversation other than that it heats also when kept on charge and operated at the same time.....

  • I just bought the HTC Touch Diamond but i just wondering whether it is normal after using it for a while about 30 minutes to 1 hour we can feel the heat of the phone especially at back of the phone even though we're not using it for voice call. My question is... is that NORMAL or something wrong with the phone??? Normally we can feel that kind of heat of any kind of phone in the market when we have lenghty conversation (say about 20 - 30 minutes voice call). Pls advise. Thank you.

If u ask me y its nice?. its cause of many things like the scroll wheel its wicked! whn u use it while zoomin, or even like we can zoom in n out frm screen by circlin fingers round round... even omnia hd fails against it.. n so many other features u all must b aware about.. i was thinking to buy omnia hd by selling this, but i still get alot confused cause this phone also has what omnia hd brings(like imprtnt widgetsor softwares).. so y to sell it>?! But its sound quality is realy not bearable if compared with stereo speakers that r coming nowadays wid even cheap phones like in sony,etc..... i dunno if there's any way its speakers can be replaced with better speakers from its service centre?! on everything else i love this phone its a masterpiece~!

  • pls help me as i'm really really confuse as i've to buy a wm mobile till diwali in this range....really messed up.....pls suggest me some..........

  • wow htc d at 19000 bt i heard that htc diamond 2 has also fallen to rs.22,000 to 23,000 INR, then which would be better htc d or d2????

  • It does not have video calling but its 3g enabled the internet works as fast as any other 3g phones...

  • I have been using the phone for more than a year now and I have no problem with the touch what you need to do is get ur ROM updated which is easily available on the website it will give u all the below 1. Improved TouchFLO 3D tab switching and movement speed. 2. Improved home page loading speed. 3. Turned off the 5-second auto screen off function when screen is turned back on by pressing power key during a voice call. Screen off timeout will follow system power setting. 4. Added random access bar to the right hand edge of the screen for selection of weather countries and cities. Yes agreed there are better phones in the market but this truly an excellent phone which gives value for money.......(Only thing i would count against the phone is its loudspeaker volume and quality rest is excellent)

  • Yes it is true in India the Rates have fallen to INR 19000 and also INR 18000 at some places in fact i heard that in Mumbai its available for INR 17000 too...

  • hi all. been using touch diamond for 2 months now. bad touch sensitivity; lag in response to flicking and swiping motions. wifi decent quality. picked up even weak signals. call quality very good. supplied earphones average quality. so , dont buy this fon cuz there are better options out now peace

  • I couldn't agree more. Very happy with mine.

  • it is agood device with a fantastic design , has a good sound and many good features

  • The phone is only crappy, if the user lacks the knowledge of modifying the contents!! This phone has ALL possibilities included, if you know your way around WM devices. If you are looking for a useless device, then feel free to go buy an iPhone...! That's my personal oppinion about that product! **The more I know; The more I know I don't know** Shine On 2,4 Full @ HTC.Diamond.Touch WM 6.1 +Tweaks

  • I am from Egypt and i bought the HTC DIAMOND 1 week ago. i used to have Nokia and sony Ericsson phones before. i want to say that i feel so sorry to buy this unpractical phone.its the first time in my life i buy some thing and i want to give it away by any means and i don`t care if i lose much money if i re-sell it. i paied $440 for it and i think it doesnt worth $100

  • Hi there my HTC keeps going to silent, not just that I can't hear it ring, everything goes silent, I can't hear if I answer the call and the person can't hear me. I have to constantly switch the phone off and on again, 20 times a day, its driving me crazy! Does anyone know why and what I can do to fix it?

  • i think the diamond is awesome, been using it for bout two months. loving it, haven't had any problems

  • I just tried it on my UK using WiFi and it was also unsuccessful. I have downloaded the latest ROM release and hotfixes from the HTC website though. XDA-Devs is also a mine of info for this device. The GPS is quick and works well. DiamondTweaks application should be downloaded for free(google is your friend) as it resolves many issues.

  • Under the Start->Settings->System tab, there is an option for Windows Update. I have never been able to update it. Every time I click on it, I get an error saying "Connection to update server not avialable. Check your data connection and device time and date settings". Is there anyone who has successfully updated it? What could have gone wrong in the system?

  • wow I like it. its damn good man

  • wow I like it. its damn good man

  • I bought this phone as replacement to my nokia 8800 sirocco. I love this phone very much because it is shorter, slimmer and a lot lighter. Also, it is a pda phone. The screen size is just prefect for my everyday use since I do not need big screen for internet exploring. It also good enough for gps navigation (I put the phone on my car speedometer dashboard). With tuned (dim) backlight, tomtom 7 can last almost 2 hours on full charged. Garmin XT somehow consume a lot more battery, may be because of heavy 3d graphic. I was always looking for a small pda phone to fit my jean's pocket easily and I found one now. I am happy with this phone.

  • what happened if your phone doesn't show the battery icon. what can i do to have it back again? i dont know what happened that i just doenst see it.

  • can u not send a pic texting?

  • its not that bad ihave many friends that hane the diamond and are very satisfied with it .

  • From what i've heard i am really disapointed with the diamond.many friends of mine bought it and are very satisfied with this phone .Overall you need to be lucky when buying an htc .Don't you agree ?

  • Hi does anybody know if you can get a bigger battery for it so it lasts longer.

  • I have a problem. My phone does NOT go to sleep during calls. I have used 3rd party application like diamond tweaks & advance config and enable allow sleep during call but stil doesn't work. For those who have problem with this I must tell them that it is a very useful,one is battery saving,second it avoids from unwanted touching the panel by cheeks. Can anyone help me?

  • Nice design etc etc. Really disppointed overall. Started using this device 4 weeks ago. Hangs like a mini PC, Finger controls don't work well, screen alignment poor. When phone rings, won't let me answer call 8 out of 10 times when I press the screen . battery life is poor. When I'm talkling on the phone, screen turns off. When I try to scroll from home across to Contacts, messages, mail, etc, it jumps to the extreme right to Favourites, can't get it to stop. Don't try reading your Contacts to dial a number while you are driving - no chance. Largest size text still too small. Synchronises with Outlook ok, but can't drive anything from PC like software from Nokia. The worst part is the touchscreen is disappointingly unreliable - I'm sick of taking 5 -10 minutes to turn it all off, remove the battery and start again. If you want a phone, this is not for you. Haven't even got to other functions like music and video - basic functions don't work. Tried logging into HTC support site to donwload new software but each time I enter serial number I get the message "not for your model". Sorry guys- what a piece of junk!

  • someone earlier said and i agree that the latest rom update on indian site, for sure, improves battery life and touch flo experience...

  • yes, it has internal gps.. works fairly well with google maps and others

  • does it have internal gps (built-in)

  • Well that depends on if you are talk about use time or just in general use because the diamond only has a 4.2 hour talk time, so If that is the case you need to upgrade to a bigger battery or a second one

  • Hi, Can anyone Tell me how to active the Blink Indicator in the round button, i got it yesterday, so i reset the phone and now the option is gone ... can anyone help plz ?

  • Rajeev is correct NONE of the HTC devices sold in India prior to Touch HD and Touch 3G are having the 3G radio. I have had a long but futile correspondence with HTC on their such 'Cost cutting' manoevers where Nokia/SE/Samsung etc all have been providing 3G enabled handsets since last two years at least....Touch Pro and Diamond sold in India are Tri Band GPRS/EDGE and can NOT be upgraded to 3G.... Sad but true... Good I have a Nokia E-71 too; other wise Diamond is a brilliant package while Pro is still better....

  • hi i just bought a htc diamond 2 weeks ago.i have a problem whit my phone.the problem is the battery. it is not even lasting for 5 hours. plz help me with this situation.what should i do to gain more battery backup.

  • This phone is truly off the chain, totally pimped out.

  • make sure the bluetooth is put to visible mode.. it works.

  • the song has to be in MY RING TONES folder on the device (not in the internal storage) for u to be able to choose it as a ringtone.. though there are free online softwares available, allowing u to choose music files from any folder. additionally they can be used to assign different ringtones to different groups in ur phonebook

  • yes, almost a month after downloading the ROM UPDATE 1.93.720.4 FROM INDIA WEBSITE, i convinced myself to update my diamond with the latest rom... it was lot easier than i thought.. ten minutes at that! ve noticed marked improvement in the touch flo 3d interface.. grabbing and chosing the tab from home screen is lot more easy and accurate now... but strangely the improvements this update brings up are not at all listed on the website.... ANY ONE FROM INDIA HAS ANY CLUES?.. normally updates list the improvements they would make in a device

  • Hi i have this phone but i cant seem to work the bluetooth on it at all, i have tried everything, and also i cant set a song as my ringtone, i need some help please could you write a comment back on her explaning my issues. many reagards Harriet :)

  • Wow, I found this phone in a magazine for only 95 euros! It's just unbelievable. What's the real price of this phone??

  • Hi Peeps! Anybody knows how to sync using the bluetooth? I am having a problem pairing my diamond to my laptop, need your advise pls...

  • scroll down on the settings tab and in advanced settings u ll ve the option to change ringtone.. some free software is also available online in case to want to assign different ringtones to different caller groups

  • htc diamond sold officially in india is a 2G version cos of the general non availability of 3G networks yet but for BSNL and MTNL. also the phone was launched thru airtel which is not 3G till date

  • Lousy OS similar to its PC version, keeps hanging. Poor battery life, sometimes the battery couldn't even last for 1 day and I use the hp for phone calls about 25min and radio for about 30min. Wifi is switched off. Inconsistent volume. With the same volume, the ear phone is super loud while listening from the hp is so soft. The same for its radio and MP3 with the same volume. When the hp is locked, you cant even adjust the volume while mp3 or radio is playing, Sony's possible. The alarm feature is primitive. When the hp is switched off, the alarm doesn't work! The alarm doesn't keep activating if the alarm had been snoozed. You can't set music as your alarm! Sony's possible.

  • i was quite apprehensive about installing the new rom too but i was fed up with the cell giving up its internet connection. the new update was worth it and improved battery life (say 30%) was unexpected. the whole process takes about 20 mins. make sure the pc does not switch off during the update. otherwise the entire process is self explanatory. i did back up my data on sprite backup but after updating my rom i realised that all the files on the internal storage was left unharmed. i had the backup of executable files for other installed programs as well. so after the rom update i did not restore the settings from sprite backup (which i very well could have). instead i used microsoft outool to get the contacts back and the rest, i reinstalled the programs.

  • i would say in india, at about 20,000rs it has no equal in terms of wow factor, functions, and flexibility.. but buy it only if u r willing to spend time tweaking it and exploring it.. many things which u may be used to on, say, a nokia phone ve a different and sometimes not so straight forward approach on a windows based mobile.. but on the other hand the amount of tweaking u can do on this phone to suit urself is almost limitless.. and u must be ready to take a unlimited (internet) data plan to enjoy the real benifits of this phone.. nokia e71 is good option too but is not so cool on interface front and of course screen resolution on diamond is way more than e71. u know touch flow 3d interface is too sexy to resist. last but not the least get ready for daily charging and a spare charger at work in case u heavily use internet.

  • also let me know about the sprite back up... how to use it and does it restore the phonebook, passwords, internet connection settings, applications back after the rom update... waiting for ur valuable feedback

  • are u sure the new rom would improve battery life? though i ve downloaded the new rom of about 101 mb but ve not yet updated the phone cos i fear losing the data on phone and also i just might turn it into a brick if the update fails.

  • try updating rom from htc india website. it has improved my htc performance in terms of battery life and internet connectivity

  • How satisfied are you with the HTC Touch Diamond, I want to buy and to see what are your opinions

  • I have being using this phone from beginning of this year(2009), that means already 6 months and let me tell you it's a superb phone. Before buying, I have compared it with Samsung Omnia (by playing with them in phone shops) as features & price of both phones were almost same. But I found the touch interface of Diamond is far better than Omnia and now I know I made the right decision. Browsing, email, phone book text messaging, all excellent. GPS is wonderful, I use it quite frequently. This phone and HTC Touch Diamond2 are the only options in the market at this small size with this many feature. Complains I have so far: 1-Battery life not good worst when using GPS, you need to keep connected to car charger for GPS. 2-It has become little slow some times, but please note I have applied some tweaks and changed some setting. 3-Camera is not good, but for me I don't use it much and this is not an issue. That's it and that's all. This is a great phone.

  • yes i got the error 'file version error'

  • Do u know how to install msn on this HTC I have the t-mobile version and Im getting the error "is not a valid pocket pc application"

  • I have experienced that once in two days, I have to restart my htc because opera mini fails to load. I usually go to start ->settings, connections tab and then connection setup. the phone configures the settings and restarts for effects to take place. After this, the browser works well again. Has anyone experienced this too? I am hoping that this problem will go away after updating the rom to 1.93.720.4. Presently, my rom is 1.93.720.2

  • Yes there is You will need the following though. Obviuosly a PC and the HTC but you will also need to have Microsoft Active sync 4.5 or later. Now what you do is that before connecting HTC to PC. Go to Start>programs>internet sharing> and select how you will connect your HTC to your PC and the network connection. then connect the HTC to the PC and you set. that again. (Start>programs>internet sharing> and select how you will connect your HTC to your PC and the network connection.) Good luck :)

  • go to start> programs > internet sharing.. select usb as connection type and relevant data connection name and then connect usb cable to ur computer

  • Thank you both Rajeev and Gray, your points have been helpful.

  • got chinese laguase ma???

  • faces network situation in all areas

  • where did u get this file ....... for outgoing email thing.....

  • If it is a mobile program, in .exe format, then you have to connect to the computer via active sync and install from the computer. If it's not a mobile program then it can't be installed on the PPC.

  • how much cost

  • There are 3rd party programs on 1800pocketpc.com and freewarepocketpc.net that offer the ability to download and install .exe programs and files directly on the htc diamond and the programs from those 2 sites are entirely free but if you do not want to go through the hassle of looking for the program to do so you can do it through your windows xp or vista computer via the active sync or windows mobile device center all you do is download the program to your pc, open/install and then the next time you connect through sync it will install to your device. all thats left with that is you have to watch your phone and answer where to put the program (device, or internal storage) I would suggest internal storage because either way it takes up some of your devices memory but it takes less device memory if you install to your internal storage. hope this is helpful

  • Thank you Rajeev for your answer, but I know those 2 options you mentioned. All I want to know is if exe files are compatible with this phone. I have installed some java, cab and zip files straight the way you said, but not able to do so with some exe files I got from hadango.com Thank you again

  • simple.. if u ve a file u think is for ur diamond, it should work in one of these two ways 1. once the file is on your computer, connect ur phone to computer with usb cable, go in for the active sync option on phone screen when prompted( of course u should ve installed active sync on ur computer first).. now click on the file on ur computer.. if it runs on computer, it ll install the program or application on ur phone straight away 2. if it does not run on computer, just copy the file on to the phone, while still connected to computer thru usb( use explore option on active synce pop up on computer screen to select download loction on phone)... disconnect phone from computer... use file explorer on phone to locate the copied file.. click on it on ur phone and it should now run on ur phone and install the application or program if it was meant for ur htc diamond else just delete it thru remove program application on the diamond

  • is there a phone sexier and more feature loaded than touch diamond in india at or below Rs20,000? 1340 mAH battery available as standard is better than orignal 900 mAH but still using internet drains battery fast.. how does nokia E71 compare to this..apple's I phone in indian context is way too expensive for the features and flexibility it offers.. only genuine comments please

  • they are offering the lowest....I bought it 1 week ago

  • well i gt it for 19.1k bt d indian version does nt hv 3g and neither a secondary cam......

  • Can anyone tell me how I can install exe file or is it not compatible. Thanx in advance.

  • also check on one of my previous post where i ve listed few good programs i ve installed to make the experience all the more good.. also go thru the included manual to get familiar with the types of finger strokes such as tap, flick grab etc.. then its very enjoyable playing around... as with most window devices u may sometimes need to soft reset the phone if it does not respond to commands as expected

  • u need to install active sync on ur computer.. it is supplied in the cd included. connect phone to pc. select active sync on phone./ then there are basically two types of files for various programs u get on net or where ever... exe ll run on computer and install programs on ur diamond straight away. 2nd are the cab files.. these ve to be first copied into the mobile..( on active sync screen click explore to access mobile device< internal storage preferably) once copied into the mobile.. disconnect from pc and use file explorer on ur phone to locate the copied file. once located click on the file to install it. its very simple..

  • i m the old user of pocket pc's and i think its best in size n usage but its battery time is weak......

  • read my earlier comment. htc diamond model available in india does not have sec camera since it'll be long before we start using this facility. diamond available in other countries do have sec camera.

  • HTC Touch Diamond does not have a secondary camera for video confrencing. In the pic shon at yr site also no camera on the front panel is noticed. The spec, I think, is for HTC Touch Diamond2 or pro.

  • which registry editor did you use to tweak the settings? can you send the link please? did you download the updated rom from htc india website?

  • did the following modifications and the phone works like a charm... i know most people wont break their head just for a phone... lol.. but this is more than a phone actually its a pocket pc which also has a phone, i guess. but if u want just a phone which does the required things out of box MOTO or SE phones would do. this is for someone familiar with windows or willing to get familiar with it 1. Installed diamond tweaks - enabled audio booster - enabled scrolling with touch wheel for contacts and phone - enabled power save mode - assigned right soft key to contacts There are lots more u can do with this program 2. Added settings + - enabled standard messaging as opposed to default threaded messaging in windows 6.1 3. Added following hot fixes for following bugs (downloaded from HTC India website) - grayed out repeat reminder option - audio skipping - mode pop up on slowly plugging ac charger 4. Installed a program allowing the assigning of specific ring tone to each category in contacts 5. Enabled pop up menu on screen when alarm rings (to dismiss or snooze alarm) - Sounds < sounds & notifications < notifications < reminders < enable on screen menu 6. Installed hot fix from Microsoft for bug on windows 6.1 pertaining to outgoing e mail thru pop3 account.

  • mine is 1.93.720.2 too. i did download the 101mb file for rom upgrade 1.93.720.4 but ve not yet upgraded my phone... the newer version has audio booster (music equilizer) enabled even without headset but that u can manage by the several tweaks available online. also it seems to solve some issues with audio and video playback... screen backlight can too be configured. I DONT THINK ITS WORTH T

  • can anyone provide me with a site to use to download games for my diamond and also applications?? free of charge??

  • I have a Htc and i like it.

  • What is the difference between HTC Touch Diamond and HTC touch Diamond P3700?

  • Hi my Friends, I have one HTC Diamond and I hates my phone. I am very frustated. I can says that HTC Diamond was the worst phone that I had in all my life. The main problem is the Windows Mobile, it consumes all phone resurces and the Radio with the 3G is very weak. Before buying this phone, I recommends you to talk who has one. I paid $960 USD for a new HTC Diamond... I am so stupid...

  • thanks i already tried the rom update from the site though. but im 100% sure the phone does not have compact qwerty its just not in the options for keyboards to choose from. but my rom version is 2.03 as it turns out. im happy with it, ive only had the phone for 3 days now and its amazing, there are some things i miss from symbian though like the option to choose between sim and phone view in contacts but im still learning as this is my first windows mobile phone.

  • seems unlikely that u dont ve compact qwerty.. anyways u may go to htc worldwide website or htc site of ur country. look in support section. there is a recent rom available there. u need to enter ur mobile serial no.(sn- printed below battery) to see if u can download that rom update

  • my diamond doesn't have compact qwwerty keyboard, can anyone give me a link to a ROM download in english??? also when i transfer files using bluetooth they dont go to my bluetooth folder and i have my bluetooth share folder as the folder received items should go to. plllllllllllllllllllllleasssssssssssssssssssse HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPP

  • can you tell your version of ROM? I recently purchased one and the rom version as i see is 1.93.720.2 The new one on the website is 1.93.720.4 I want to know if its really worth updating.

  • Actually it doesn't. be sure you do not press the power button to force it to sleep mode. Let the phone sleep normally. It works.

  • Just click on the speaker icon on at the top when in home page and click on silent. to return to normal mode repeat but select desired volume level

  • while using bluetooth headset, i ve noticed that sometimes, the connection with the headset is lost once the phone goes to sleep mode(as set in power settings)while u are still on the call.. has anyone noticed it. also on htc hong kong site there is a hot fix for this similar problem on htc cruise but ve n't come across one for htc touch diamond. can any body help

  • when u click on a message u c the thread like a chat on say, yahoo messenger. just click on the header(sender name on top) of the one particular msg u want to send, and the msg gets highlighted. now if u check, the forward option ll be available and not greyed out

  • ve n't been able to lay my hands on genuine HTC pouch, the one i m using accomodates the phone well.. was downloading rom update from india website which got interuptted at 75% which i thought was cos of internet connection error. after u asked, i m kid of scared.. ll try tommorow again and let u know

  • yes, i ve mobile office working fine, and there is a dedicated link to airtel live on the home screen( and yes of course i m on airtel) but that does not work, tries to open airtel live but fails. also for your information if u ve enabled pop3 mail that is e mail functionality using touch flo tab, it is bound to run into an error after sometime following which u wont be able to send e mails but would be receiving them.. microsoft has issued a hot fix patch as a remedy for that.. cos the bug is with windows mobile 6.1 platform

  • now i know...all the while i thought my unit device was really defective. i had the same problem with the battery life of htc.. i have it checked but was told everthing was fine

  • when you are in messages clik to all messages,go to the messages you want to foward,it will open that message then clik ok on the right top, got to menu whilst that messages is highlighted, then go to reply it will give you three option i.e reply,reply all and foward the you can forward your message.I hope you will get it right

  • hey everyone i've just purchased this mobile from someone 2 days ago and i would like to kno is there any site where i can download games and software for free? also can anyone just give me genuine tips to improve my system performance? please your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi all. can u tell me how to setup HTC to get sillent when i turn my phone with the face down, like Arte ? thx

  • 1.it is not user-friendly 2. the battery life sucks and practically i would not advise anyone to buy it, its not worth the money but it sure looks good though.

  • Originally Diamond came bundled with Airtel in India and the right soft actually was dedicated to Airtel Live, however WM phones,HTC in particular will better work on Airtel Mobile Office(the mob. internet service of Airtel).If u do not have a dedicated airtel live key you can always type the URL in the opera or IE browser. You can also save it as a bookmark on Opera that would be visible on your touch flo 3d opera screen.

  • i wanna knw hw do u forward messages coz de forward option is nt getin highlighted..can ny1 help me out...

  • rajeev..could you locate hand pouch/case for htc diamond released in india (with larger battery)? second...could you update your rom on htc website?

  • I have the HTC Diamond and I had this phone for five months and this is my third Diamond. It freeze up alot and now it is switching off by itself. Its a cool phone to have but it has so many bugs. HTC Diamond is about a 5/10.

  • After using HTC Diamond I have decided to use only HTC phones after this. Previously I O2 Flame. But nothing like HTC. This phone, infact all the HTC phones I have come across have no show but they are most practical phones to use. Keep it up HTC!!! Three cheers to HTC!!!

  • Nothing great . WinMo is not user friendly and nor is the Diamond interface. Not happy with it. Headed back to the convinient lifestyle of Nokia and SE.

  • I have been a fan of HTC for years and before HTC i used Imate, same OS. It would be an awesome phone if it worked without stalling. I have had this phone for 6 months and it has been twice for repairs to HTC. The sensor keeps failing, and touch flo fails sometimes, the front pad comes off, video call this not work, etc. It should have a scroll key to like the previous HTC's, this makes reading documents easier. Its got to be used with both hands. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

  • i m using this phone on airtel india network.. does airtel live work on it... otherwise the phone is simply amazing. it comes with 1350 mAH (ENHANCED BATTERY LIFE) as standard here in india

  • you can use speed dials and people option for quicker access to frequently called numbers

  • i do Agree with u Roy The Battery life is pathetic i use the phone for about 1 hour in a day for music and the rest of it for calling and messaging and the phone dies on me in 7hrs which is very poor though i have had a battery replaces the problem persists....the phone is really good wish HTC would check the battery once and come with a fix soon.....

  • Less than a year the phone hung, sent back to HTC service agent and they say board has corrosion and is not covered under warranty. Cost is change is price of a new phone. Dissatisfied with the quality as I bought a Nokia at the same time with this phone and did not experience any corrosion with Nokia. DO not buy this HTC phone. Looks good outside, Inferior quality inside.

  • Bought thie phone an upgraded the Arabic ROM it didnt do much but asked to upgrade Arabic from another download, did that as well now the phone say teh Arabic Licence from Citglobal.mobi has expired. HTC want me to buy the Arabic Licence. What cheapsters. HTC support does not know what to do.

  • to Mr.F there is new interface released recently called, Spb mobileshell 3, it is very easy to use and will give you wide range of chooses, just try to see it on youtube. amazing.

  • i bought this phone 5months ago, as i'm familiar with windows mobile phone, i did not face any problem while using it unlike my friends who suffered alot trying to navigate it. however, there are huge problems bothering me,one of them is the battery performance which is very poor, if you play games or watch youtube videos, battery will consume fast within 2hours you find your mobile off.an other problem you will face in this device is the speakers esp external speakers, forget about using alarm. in general this phone is nice but if the time goes back, will nt buy it.

  • It is possible to get a normal keypad. When you are writing a new message you'll see a small keyboard at the bottom of your screen. Next to it you'll see a small triangle, when you tap the triangle you get a couple of choices. If you choose phonepad or something like that you'll get a normal phonepad, so you can write messages like on a "normal" phone

  • Dear htc users,I find very hard to make a call from "contacts". First make use "phone" , "contacts", and finaly type the letter. I want to put in main menu a button (shortcut) named "contact" This is possible? And second questions : it is possible to find a normal keypad like a normal phone ? ex: if i tape three times on tase A result all contact whit C, lika an ordinary phone.

  • my phone is not showing internal memory..what should i do..plz mail me [email protected]

  • I don't have this phone yet, but I am sure if you leave WLAN and Bluetooth on when not in use it will run the battery hardcore.

  • I gladly exchanged my x1 for the HTC Diamond. The X1 was bulky, heavy and slooooooow to repond. This HTC is sleek, light and more responsive. Sorry SE, u just are going down in the smart phone business - remember the P990? what a flop!

  • can u tell me the price of HTC TOUCH DIAMOND price?? RM??... Please....

  • why do you think SE X1 is much better?

  • Karan, even though i am a HTC user, i found SE - x1 better

  • I get nowhere near the battery life they specify on this site. I am lucky if it lasts 24hrs. I do switch off the screen when not in use?? Does anyone else have this problem or any ideas?

  • I am using Touch Diamond and very happy with it. However, facing one small problem. Can anywone help me to resolve?...Thanks The ROM version is 1.93.720.4 WWE dated Mar 16, 2009. Whenever, i send message (SMS), it stores in sent items and INBOX also! Logically, it should be stored only in sent items!!! There is no hot fix available pn HTC site.

  • Dear, First check that u r getting this problem from every number or only in one number. If for All that might be that CLIP service was not working properly or rather check If u have option in phone for Private(Number hidden option) in settings option If for one check the option first or call to customer care & forward a complaint for the same.

  • Which antivirus is recommended for htc diamond? Is it really required and after installing will it slow down the mobile significantly?

  • thanks for the reply but how good is the messaging? like the actual typing are u able to type properly with this phone? i like to text so for me i wouldnt want it to be impossible to text. and are u able to set up a ringtone for ur messages?? thanks in advance for ur reply.

  • I have purchased this last day and it is very good phone in design and performance wise. You can put your image at the desktop, you can also do long, fast and easily messaging and you can also surf internet and also watch internet streaming videos. Only think is you must know how to operate windows mobile phone. It will give you every think which you will imagine to do Either by using third party software. You can also have the choice of Diamond2 or Touch HD.

  • Using your own pic as a background is possible. It's easy. You can also use your own ringtone. I cutted a piece out of a song. But you can't use your own tune to wake up in the morning.

  • Hi, can someone please help me as I'm going nuts !!!! The caller ID on incoming calls on my phone repeatedly shows "private" even though the caller ID from the person calling me is not hidden / blocked..... This does not seem to be a network problem as I changed sim cards and still can't get my phone to show who's calling me..... PLEASE HELP !!!!

  • i'm thinking of purchasing this phone next week but i would just like to kno,1) can i have my own picture used as the background pic and my own mp3 ringtone? 2) what is meant by a threaded view of text msgs? 3) how is the texting on this phone? i may be texting a lot so is it really slow or at least a genuine pace? im new to windows mobile so sorry if the questions are some what ridicilous.

  • hello,sir i dont know how to follow the steps in downloading the audio para3,pls guide me what to do first steps by steps. sorry for disturbing u.Thankz a lot.one more if i download the audio is there no changes with the quality of sounds when im listining to mp3 music with my headset?Ty

  • There seems to be lot of contradicting information about the use of Skype on HTC diamond. It is not clear which versioon of Skype is compatible with diamond. Can someone who has used it on his model send the link to the right version of Skype for downloading?

  • Alright u need to visit and follow the steps mentioned there should solve ur problem for the volume.......please ensure u copy ur original file before u replace it with the newer one....

  • Please check beneath the battery on the phone or on the the box the serial number is mentioned there and yes it does start with SN or F.....if having trouble finding read ur user guide and u will find the device

  • Hello Xfactor!how are u?I want to ask u only if how can i replace Audio Para3.csv as u mentioned and were can i bought it?I have my diamond also and ur right sounds is not too loud but over all its a great phone.I work in doha but i dont know if there is audio para3 here.Thankz a lot and have a good day.

  • Probably one of the worst phones I have had. It does look lovely & some nice features. But it is slow, it has trouble doing most things, doesn't pick up your touch all the time. Freezes alot, no flash on camer. Overall just very dissappointed in what i thought was going to be a very good phone

  • @Xfctor.. I attempted to update my ROM on HTC website but it isnt accepting the serial number. It says it should begin with SN or Z however my battery doesnt have any alphabet at the beginning. any idea how to go about it?

  • Of course Touch Pro. I bought a diamond because it was much cheaper than Pro, but short msg is a nighemare for me without key board then.

  • It's easy like u do with computer. Just selsct all musics and paste to target folder.

  • HTC Touch Diamond a piece of art which sometimes surprises you with its features and sometimes drives you crazy....I own a HTC touch Diamond for 9 months now being a Pro user I find it a balance UI phone...yet there more to discover in this phone the more you use it...Its Sluggish when u start with it but with a ROM update (which is available on the HTC Website) it runs absolutely fine and after replacing of AudioPara3.csv it sounds loud too....So I as a user am very Happy and feel HTC has brought in a revloution in the Windows Phones available in the market today....If you are a beginner its a gr8 phone if u a prominent user like me u will have tough time digesting the fact the phone UI could be better....My Score for this Phone would be an overall 8.5/10 out which the design scores a awesome 10/10 its just the UI that drags the score low....and yes there is no Sec VGA Camera in the Indian version......

  • Can any one who had the HTC Touch Diamond tell me if there is an option allowin you to lock or hide confidential information is case the phone is lost or stolen?

  • Jean, I called up HTC support centre in Delhi and I was informed that the models released in India do not have secondary VGA camera primarily because we are not yet equipped to have video calling. Although I'm convinced with the reasoning, what I do not understand is why this information was not shared earlier on any post. Even if you search on google, there is no reference to any phone withough sec vga camera. I would like to confirm this with other users.

  • Hey there, I need to know what the sound quality is like on this handset?

  • If you are thinking about this phone STOP. I have just thrown mine into the floor and split it into about seven pieces cause it's a piece of crap. Turns itself off during calls and then takes about 5 mins to reboot. Looks great though and it's userabilty is nice, but built crap. You'll be disappointed.

  • i also received a touch diamond and i noticed my phone also didnt have a sec video camera and battery life is poor. Battery drains mostly when turned off and on, which means i have to have it on all the time on sleep if not in ue. Overall its great, they could of done at least a 5 megapixel camera.

  • Hey Aleem, if you go into settings, click the system tab and click regional settings and change the language from there. hope this helps

  • Have this phone for about 8 months now and its fabulous. The only flaw I find is the poor battery life, however it is possible to get a bigger extended battery. But the standard features are very simple to use and the display is truly stunning. The Camera is surprisngly good for 3.2MP. The phone works with even better fluidity since I updated the ROM. If anyone has the phone, I'd advise updating the ROM. its available from the HTC website. It makes a huge difference and adds a few new features. Anyway I could keep going on for years but to sum it up, this is a brilliant phone!

  • I bought htc diamond in india (mumbai). The model does not have secondary vga camera. Is it a variant that they release in India? Its made in Taiwan. Where is the sec VGA camera?

  • go for the touch diamond. its way ahead of the viva in all respects. it has a seperate graphics processor, accelerometer, excellent ROMs available on XDA forums., lots of cool apps. The viva does not even come close.

  • Could anyone suggest me..which one shall I buy? HTC diamond or HTC touch pro 2? and..why?? Thanks!

  • Hey man plz help i have to choose between new viva and secnd hand diamond at same price. Wwhat should i do

  • How do you transfer music from the phones main memory to the internal storage as I have downloaded six songs and it wont let me receive any more??

  • very very awesome and nice phone the best with every thing don't think twice

  • I have Windows Vista and it is a real pain to get the htc sync functionality active.

  • please some body can guide me how to change language of this mobile. i m in saudia i buy a mobile but its language is arabic but i need english.

  • agree totally!!!!

  • use 'BEAM' option to send files via bluetooth.

  • it is currently available with higher capacity battery

  • around 19K

  • To all those who recently bought diamond in mumbai, is it available with 900 mAh battery or 1320 mAh which was released later by HTC? Also, is there an option to choose a battery with higher rating at the time of purchase? and finally where did you buy it from?

  • By default it saves bluetooth transfers first in My Documents folder. What I do is to cut and paste them in the internal storage....involving two steps but it works..

  • how do you send stuff because my 1 won't let me send anything.

  • Check out xda-developers.com. There you can find many custom ROMs and also answers to many (maybe even all :D) of your questions.

  • Hi, can anyone please tell me how to store the data into internal storage(4GB) when recieving files through Bluetooth? i' am really irritated trying that.

  • can anyone tell me, in which folder the contacts are stored?

  • @ anon.. are you not apprehensive about downloading a customized ROM? can you suggest reliable sites from where i can get one to choose from?

  • @CEA, Just download an auto locking program such as devicelock. No more password lock on wake. @... about the ROM update. These are released periodically. for people that need or want the update, it is just a simple download from HTC. But there are many custom ROMs available all over the web that tend to out shine the stock ROMs.

  • 19400

  • when the phone is in touchflow mode you can not lock the phone you have to do a security lock and enter the password everytime

  • I'm planning to buy HTC diamond. The HTC official website indicates that there is ROM update for Diamond. Does this mean every new diamond handset needs to be updated or is that update supposed to be only for the old models?

  • can anybody tell me how much the diamond cost?

  • What is the difference in configuration For HTC touch Diamond And HTC Touch Diamond 2. i ive in india if i bu an HTC TOUCH DIAMOND 2 from dubai will it work in india.?

  • I received my Diamond in the mail; my thumb is hurting because it cannot align. It keeps telling me to tap firmly. I can't even call customer service since it's past mid night. I�ll try your suggestion of using the stylus.

  • I Got The HTC Diamond To Day, And I Really Dont Understand How to Use It.. How Do I Change My Bluetooth Name So People Can Find Me? And Im Having Problems Puttin Music On To It, If Any Can Help Me That Will Be Great

  • ti means if ur scren isnt precise, u align it and theen it will bo more precis. use stilus when u do the aligning :D

  • Thats all true the battery is awful, the PDA uses to much energy even if its on flying mode in my case. He will last about 6-7 houres. They say up to 285h? yeah maybe if its attached to its recharger. and indeed apart from that its great!

  • have anyone know what's ALIGN SCREEN ? get someone know how to solve it ? thanks.

  • I just bought the Htc Diamond, and the battery live on the phone is shocking. I barley use it and the battery will just last 4hours. The phone also heats up after being on it for 10minutes. Apart from that the phone is great.

  • Really...This HTC Diamond is amazing PDA phone if you know how to used it. For Battery problems,just switch to GSM mode (Band)if you don't used internet connection. Actually the internet connection sucks the Battery too much!...

  • can anyone told me how to solve the battery problem ? Maybe a bigger capacity battery ?

  • can someone told me how to solve the battery problems ?

  • I am agree with you too. I bought one from Dubai. the battery is not good if you want to use some applications you may use no more than 30 min backside of phone gets too hot. I DO NOT RECOMEND TO BUY AND SPEND MONEY ON SOME USELESS HTC TOUCH DIAMOND

  • Hello, Bear in mind im only 14 and i have this phone but can you put a memory card in this phone, and how do you use the bluetooth? Help me please. Thankyou, Harriet :)

  • Its one of the trendiest cell phones available in the market, the design & performance is stupendous... wat a nice feeling to hold this cell infront of others... if they say change is constant then you definetly got this one with you! Cheers!

  • Battery life does not last long When talking for 10 minutes and more, the back of the phone gets hot Would have to tap on the screen a couple times to get to where you want Screen and back plate gets finger prints easily .. Overall, a disappointment! Waste of time and MONEY.

  • I totally agree with you!

  • The feeling is very good! Slim and little weight! Very good design. The battery is very poor (900mah)!! The screen is excellent! very clean view. The original rom is a little bit slow but if you put a cooked rom... it's much faster!! I am using it for a couple of months and my only strong negative is the life of battery ... :(

  • Now... this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

  • After a few months of poor battery life the dealer said should return the phone for a software upgrade. Also the plastic is lifting on the send button and when I asked for it to be fixed i was refused as not a manufacturers fault. But I think it is a design fault in the phone. Has anyone else a problem with the plastic lifting.

  • The Battery is very bad...

  • Hi world, I'm here again. My problem was solved because I have tried to type my password again and again, event it couldn't unlock. Fortunately, I reached the maximum of wrong password, then the phone pop up the message to tell me to type "1a2b3c" in case of emergency call. So I was not hesitate to try that. Wow, I can login to my phone but I still can't change the password so Clear storage is the other way to short out this case. Or else Hard reset is the other choice of this problem. Good luck dude!

  • do a hard reset on the phone and everythig should be back to normal. just like from factory. just go to htc.com and go to support for diamond and it will tell you how to do a hard reset.

  • the batery for htc touch diamond is very bad,battery power finish very fast,must update from 900mah to 1200mah.

  • Hi all, I just got diamond yesterday. Today I was download the active syn..4.5 from microsoft to connect my the phone to pc. I have copied some song and pictures. Then I leave it for awhile and I want to check something on the phone but I couldn't coz the phone frozen. The screen turn to white and I couldn't do anything. So I take out the battery. When I turn it back again I type the password that I have used but I can't unlock it. Do anyone can help? Please help! thanks in advance.

  • Hi all, I waited to purchase this phone for long as I really wanted a PDA with style and compact size..apart from the low-on-battery life feature I need to know if there is a software or option available in this phone that allows you to see of the person you're calling is on another line. For example in all nokias and samsungs even a lowest cost phone ...when you're calling some one and they're already on the phone talking to someone..you see a popup on the dcreen "call waiting" or only "waiting" that tells you the person you're calling is in another call and is very helpful a feature indeed..any suggestions please..Also,I've noticed that the home screen (with touch flo feature ON) doesnot display the complete Day/date/time as in saturday,April 5,2009. But it does once you turn of touch-flo..is there a modification software or option available...waiting for a helpful response..regards

  • Are u using an Airtel Rajasthan connection? My diamond too faces the same problem on Airtel. It never behaved so when I used it on Vodafone and it went on smooth for 3-4 months. Th HTC service at Jaipur too dittos it. Try using it on Voda , Idea or BSNL. It shud be solved. If your set is network locked contact the retailer/HTC service to get the unlock code.

  • hey all, I installed this xda action screen that makes a really nice shortcut, but when I tried NEED EMAIL, or NEW SMS, or NEW MMS, it gave me an alarm that said something about 'not trusted certificate' or something. all other features worked, (notes, calendar, etc). i tried installing it to both DEVICE MEMORY and INTERNAL STORAGE, neither worked. any ideas, anyone? i had it installed in PROGRAM FILES of either memory. thanks.

  • hey, much thanks replying about the rotation apps. i been reading many forums about the gyrator app and sounds dizzyingly complex. i installed the .net 3.5 necessary to use gyrator, but havent had the nerve to open and install it. too intimidated, really. but i just really wanted to thank you for you effort and thorough, quick response. i'm so impressed there are people and pages like this for support.

  • i saw a post where someone talked about installing something that would allow screen rotation in all applications, I even recall writing how to stop the in-call screen from rotating after install. I can't find that post now, but what app it was. I know it was by xda developers. can someone please help? btw- i love my diamond. i had one, but was having mass memory issues, it was barely functional & at only 2mb of device memory. i tried a touch pro, then 2wks later exchanged back to diamond knowing more about WM this time around and have had NO PROBLEMS Anyhow, plz help RE rotate. thnx

  • the touch diamond is awesome!!!!! miles better than the tytn ll, the only downside is battery life could be better!

  • I got the Diamond this week and I have no regrets at all. It takes a while to get used to the touch screen, but once you do, the phone is all fun! The screen is great and I don�t think it is as slow as some people have posted here...

  • Dear AA, Thank you in advance, I was using (RUU Diamond_HTC_ARA_1.93.415.4/ Version 4.1.100.1332) previously and the Arabic was working very well except forwarding the sms, then I upgraded to (RUU Diamond_HTC_ARA_2.03.415.2/ Version 4.1.100.1332) which allow you to forward the sms, however the Arabic was corrupted it can read the letters separately and from left to right, exactly like English letters. I would like to thank you again for your help & support. AK

  • Hi AK Please tell me what Arabic programm you use to send Arabic SMS,where you download it and what the version of your upgraded ROM? Maybe I can help u after this!

  • Hello, I upgreaded to the latest ROMfrom HTC web dated 27-2-2009 and then the Arabic was corrupted. can someone help me as i am using the arabic a lot in sms. Thank you in advance.

  • For those who have problem with answering a call and have some issue with unwanted miss a call when their DiAMOND is in their pocket,use TouchLockPro 2.4 from Xda-developers. It's perfect. No need to update your ROM and Hard reset your pocket pc to reach the Slide answer presented by HTC officially!

  • this phone is one of the werst phone i have used it suchs battery and just after 1 received call of msg the phone get heated badly. please dont buy this phone

  • If looks could kill...Diamond Touch would be it! Good phone and easy to use. It's sleek and it's really black! The only thing that's annoying me is the OS. It sucks sometimes. Camera is great but the Video's not. Ausdio as well. HTC should do something about the all these healthy negative comments.

  • Is it possible to set the phone in vibrate only mode and still be able to listen to songs? I couldn't get mine to do that. If I set it to vibrate, media player does not produce any sound.

What do I need to turn off or do, that my battery life improves! Thanks!

  • Hi, my friend your lcd screen has problem from the factory and appears at least 2 points with yellow circle or elipse that's right??You can see it at white backround. Here in greece we have too many phones with these problem 3/4 of htc diamond go to service point to fix this lcd!!!!!!!!!You must go in the service point to fix.

  • go to the thing on the bottom of the type and hit it go to t9 and change it

  • this is a really a bad phone. I used it for 06 months & really gave up hopes that I had with HTC. Sound / battery / OS everything is bad. only gud thing is phone looks gud thats it.

  • Hey guys. Can someone tell me how i can change the default typing settings in the text editor from t9 to ABC. Its really annoying with this feature turned on, anyone have any idea as to how i can turn it off? Thank You.

  • thank you so much. i downloaded the coreplayer and it works all kool ..!!

  • how do you txt of this phone??

  • Sound quality on phone is not that good. This phone must be provided with some high defination ear phone. Mind that you are gonna spend more than 20,000 bucks on a cellphone and accordingly sound quality never suits you know. Nokia N95 is having far better things. Both from Imaging & Video along with the sound features. I've used both the phones. No Comparision at all. HTC Sucks! but no doubt HTC is good from looks and touches. Cool outlook and features but of no use.

  • Got the diamond from tmobile 2 weeks and its been an great experience so far. Straight out of the box, it's not really all that, but with the massive support and optimization software available for it on the web, this handset really comes into its own. i heard about all the problems the other users had had with this phone but the truth is, if you take some time to really customize this phone, it really comes into its own. i know this is something HTC should've done this at the production stage but this may be the fun bit of the phone! XDA developers is one of the best sites for this and to those people who have some concerns on this, just buy it and see for yourself how cool the phone can really be!=).

  • I've read so many negative comments about the the htc diamond. Are alignment and heat problems really widespread or are they just exclusive to a some users?

  • Heya, man. The Diamond plays everything and has no problems whatsoever with Standard Definition DVDRip-XviD or DivX. You just need CorePlayer... Sure, it drops a few frames on scenes where the bitrate exceeds 2500kbps, but most of the parts of a movie use lower bitrate, so it happens rarely + you just download a scene release and copy it to your phone without caring about re-encoding. h.264 is another thing though - everything beyond 900-1000kbps level4.1 plays at 2-3fps... you need to encode them using lower level of compliance (3.0 for example) to make it play smooth. Diamond's VGA screen is just brilliant for movies. :)

  • yes i had the same problem just put it to max power mode but uses more battery but it should work

  • just bought this phone from ebay, any1 know wht should i do witht phone? is used condition and last rom update is: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diam­ond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe plz suggest me what to do while i heard that battery and speed of this phone is not that good and require update, but i dun knw where to update and how!!!!

  • The software of my phone is updated (rom). It did not solve the issue of the screen allignment.

  • I am becoming increasingly dis satisfied with this phone cos of the screen issue. I do not consider it a reliable phone... i hope some one can help me?

  • Hi, i am experiencing problems with the allignment of my screen, to such an extent that i can not even type in the password of my phone when opening it. it is not the first time i have this problem. I am unable to press the windows logo on the top left of the screen cos of the realignment issue.Does anyone have a solution to this? I learned many experience similar problems?

  • mine still half battery...fone last charged 2 days ago... i installed powermanagement.cab...dont know if it helped and i removed the crappy touchflo as i like it more moderate have made and received calls for about 4hrs in total and all the usual galore i gues it takes experience in WM to get your enduser satisfaction

  • Hi guys want some great sofwares for your phone go to these links....htcdrivers.com, these are best softwares site and trust me u guys will love it.....and do post yor reply...

  • Most of the issues that you are having can be fixed by software upgrades, information on which are available from xda-developers.com. The usability, performance and battery life can be improved by using a good radio and rom combination. For heavy users the official HTC extended battery (BP E270 1340mAh) is worth having although it does change the size of the phone. Currently I am using a combination of HardSpl 1.24, Radio 1.10.25.25 and Shaks.p V3.20 rom which work well together. If your phone is CID locked you will have to go through quite a few steps, I recommend lots of reading at xda forums first. If you find it all a bit bewildering you can get it done by return post, you can email me for the details [email protected]

  • and yeah i also wanted to know wat all video formats does htc diamond support? i tried playin .avi file, but it dint play it. is there any way i can play other video files dn 3gp?

  • hey thnx for replyn vicky. i went to d site but cunt find d option to download gps! can u gv me ur msn or yahoo..so tat i can easily get in touch wd u from dr?

  • i think your phone have defect. I don't think there is any phone that is 100% defect proof. I've been using this phone for a week here is wat i think so far.... battery life average (need to charge daily) like most of the smartphone if you use most of its features. But if just make a call it should give you at least 2 days. Internet. good with wifi and 3g. touch tech. NOT the best for the first timer. some times too sensetive. you need a lot time to get used to it. for the first few days you really get frustated. I prefer big Icons and big menus so you don't have to take out stylus most of the time. I believe there are third party software for that. SPEED. well its window mobile, I already new what everyone was guessing. file tranfer Sych: fast size: very sexy, light, not bulky at all compare to other similar device camera. not bad in good light condition. Conclusion: I have some frens complaing about this phone a lot. I almost didn't buy becoz of their bad review. Well there problem was they didn't now how to use WM. like opening to many program and not knowing how to close them, making phone to response slow and even get hanged.If you are not into WM this phone is defenately not for you. But if you are looking for WM phone I this is one the best. If you wait until Diamond2 then this phone should be good bargain price. cheers

  • You can try this.. I experience my phone when there is incoming call, and I not pick up and let it ring till it cut off... the phone is hot..if you are on the phone more than 5mins, the hot can burn your ears

  • This phone is nice, cute design and all.

  • After weeks of looking at loads of phones I decided to buy the Touch Diamond on contract. I wish I had a time machine because it is nothing but INFURIATING!. Ok why. The phone runs on Windows mobile which has to be one of the most out of date and annoying pieces of software I have ever used. The menu structure and layout is abysmal. Some menus take you back one step at a time while others take you all the way out! GRRRR. The Touchflow looks good, however, you soon realise its just like a dodgy wallpapering job over Windows. If you recieve a message more than a standard text you can't read it all in Touchflow. You have to go into Windows mobile and (when you eventually find it) the font is tiny! There is no 'wraparound' menus either...why o why? Its all one way then back all the way again. Making calls is bizarre too. If you use it in the dark you will see the phone switches the send/end buttons illumination OFF! As soon as your call is answered the main screen also switches off making keypad inputs impossible! You cannot change these settings either. If you actually are able to answer a call you are doing well as the software takes so long to 'think' while it receives a call before it actually rings. The volume is far too low as well as the speaker distorting when its at max (which isn't very max!) These are just a few of the many, many things that makes me want to smash it with vigor. Pros- It is a very well made, strong and small phone. Cons- As soon as its switched on - SCREAM. I fell for the marketing and 'seeded' reviews. If you like Windows Mobile go for it, if you haven't used it before.. don't touch it with a barge pole attached to a barge pole it will drive you nuts! Faithfully and truthfully - Jonathan

  • The phone promises much, but performance is very, very disappointing. The Touch screen interface could be described as slow, but that is optimistic. I regularly miss calls because of the slow response on the touch screen. The other main problem is "freezing". The phone, especially when accessing sms functions, freezes and prevents further input without a power reset...very annoying. Users looking for a fast phone/texting functions should NOT consider this phone. Having been a long time consumer of motorola and nokia phones, and HP PDAs, I was can say with some degree of experience that HTC have alot of work ahead of them if this model is representative of their product performance.

Here's some observations of mine: Pro's -Excellent organizer functions -Easy to navigate/customize -Great sound quality (on calls) -EASY texting (you can change keyboard styles) -Vibrations are strong enough to notice through my jeans (never found a phone with strong vibrations before) Con's -I get 2 days battery life out of mine, with moderate use -The interface is laggy, it takes a second or two for anything to load (doesn't bother me that much though) -The icons are confusing to learn, everything is labelled with pictures, not words I've had a few cell phones, but this is my first jump to a smartphone and i'm very pleased. Web browsing is a charm, just make sure to use the Opera browser, not internet explorer!

  • I bought 2 Touch 3700(Diamond), 1 Touch 3702(Victory) for my wife.. we live in USA Denver. use T-Mobile. We used these phone for about 4 months, it works well. Of course, some features need to modify it yourself. There are a lot of developers, people make this Diamond almost perfect. Especially XDA, you can find almost of useful features for your Diamond device. I enjoyed this phone very well.

  • I have had mine for about six months during which time it has broken down twice, taking a month to repair. Support is shocking. The set itself is poorly designed. Adults are unable to read the text with the font at its largest setting. The touch screen is insensitive. It only responds to the stylus not finger touch. Simple functions like making a call takes several (virtual) button presses. Address book management is rediculous. Connectivity is poor. Battery life is non existant. I can go on, but you will not want to read that much and I will run out of space here. I am trying to get rid of mine so that can buy a cheaper, more reliable phone with more features and better functionality, like a Nokia E71. let me know if you want to swap, but I could not recommend with a clear concience that you do so.

  • ate re xasani

  • Please dont buy this. All HTC diamond have alignment problems, its a defect. HTC doesnt replace it if it arises a week later from buying. Dont buy this. Its a ripoff

  • can anyone tell me how long does you normal diamond battery goes????

  • Yes, it does.

  • sound alert on sms does not sound until the phone is on awake mode. can any one help

  • Yes, there is nothing wrong with your battery. In fact, HTC Diamond has very short life span. So do make sure you charge them only when they are really low in battery. If not, you will only be harming your battery lifespan further!

  • Its K jus keep it running wif sumthng like music or watch movies

  • Hi, I have a touch diamond. I'm not able to browse the net using WIFI. The phone gets connected to the WIFI network, but I'm unable to start browsing. I can also see that the phone is connected to the network when i check the devices connected to the network. Is there any thing that I should do specifically to change the settings to use WIFI internet. Pls advise.

  • i just luv it!

  • Very expensive prize range all HTC models HTC has no any particular models under 10k so how posible for middle class people purchase HTC And other PDA company has very good models in under 11k.

  • hey i have a HTC the battery life is not that great but other then that a love it!

  • Don't do that, you've allready got the better phone. Diamond is slow, buggy, not that great sound, takes bad pictures. And it'll get scrathes just by looking at it. Maybe we could swap phones? I miss my old N73, but still hated the slowness in the menus.. Perhaps that have been changed in the N82?

  • Hi folks. I am a Nokia E61i user for last 1 year. It satisfies me in every aspect except the speed thing. Its too slow and while you have more and more SMSs, it opens a new SMS in almost 2 minutes. Same is the case with multiple applications. I wish to buy HTC diamond and its specifications look good but I would love to have feedback from a user of this model.
