thanx
The 6700 is a good device but the audio quality doesn't compare to earlier HTC devices like the JAM. It's quieter and has troubles playing MP3's clearly...lots of mild pops, cracks, and minor skips.
If you're buying it and music is important to you, look elsewehere. If music isn't a priority & you don't mind the lower headset volume, it's a good choice. WM5 software is a nice improvement. The keyboard is great and the unit performs well.

I'm noticing very faint static when I play back my music files in Windows Media on my Sprint 6700 (Apache). I've tried different headphones and ruled that out. I know the files are good...they play back fine on my Imate Jam.
My guess is that the software or ROM isn't optimized in some way and its causing the distortion.
Anyone else notice this? Any ideas for improving the quality?
After 3 days with the 6700, I'm sending it back. I've been a fan of HTC products back to the first XDA. I've owner 4 of their phones - the XDA, PDA2K, I-Mate JAM, and now the Sprint 6700.
While it's a great product in many ways, it misses the mark in terms of audio quality. For the past year, I've use my I-Mate Jam every day at the gym...it's my IPOD with all my favorite music. I use Yahoo's music service and constantly fill it with new tunes. When the 6700 arrived, I copied my library over and was eager to try it out.
Within five minutes, I was disappointed. First, the volume was amazingly low compared to my JAM. Nealy 40% lower. So much so that on certain songs, it was hard to hear. On my JAM, the volume is so loud it hurts. While I don't turn it up that high, its great to know when you're in a noisy room or on a plane you can hear your music. Bluetooth was even worse. I have an Acura TL with built-in hands free. The JAM works great here. With the 6700, I have to crank the volume nearly twice as much just to hear.
Second, there is a lot of distortion. It's like listening to a dusty record or a worn cassette. Pops, crackles, and skips are very noticeable. My music is encoded at 192Kps...on the Jam its like a CD. On the 6700 its annoying...like I'm listening to my old Sony Walkman from 1985. Some music actually skips a beat.
I just don't get it. This is the 5th generation device from HTC. How come after all this they can't get it right? With each device there have been bad quirks. Things like the PDA2K's faulty Bluetooth support (read the posts and you'll see what I mean) or the JAM's really poor camera. There's always something. Don't they learn from past experience? By now, it should be nearly perfect. Boards like this are full of feedback.
Uggg. I like the rest of the device. WM5 is great. EVDO...WOW! Nice improvements in many areas. The keyboard is solid...more useable than to Palm's Treo. But if you're into music, this device really misses the mark and in my case, that's every day.
I'm going to exchange it in hopes that maybe it's a bad unit. I doubt it though. I've tried four different headphones from the ones inside the box to high-end Bose...all sound the same. It's too bad...I really thought this would be the perfect PDA/Phone combo.
Somebody try the Motorola S705 SoundPilot earpiece with HTC P3600??? i want to buy this earpieces.
MOTOROLA S705 WITH HTC HD2- just gr8
Bought the S705 Motorola pendant stereo head set for the HTC Hd2 and it is just great, though the phone voice is a whey little low, music is just great with the ear piece that comes along, I use a Bose ear phone, for lovely music and sound quality.
Paring is quick, establishes the ADVP to the phone & restablishes itself after the device has been switched off & on again.
With the FM an added advantage. If anyone likes to use it with their HTC devices do go ahead, but if you are looking for style then dont, the S705 is like a little mp3 player hanging on your neck... awkward. I dont mind, though.
The Philiphs SBH7100 which has a higher volume to the S705 is good too but the battery life is too low.
good luck
Anybody ever use, or hear any comments on this headset, looks like exactly what I want.

Thanks!
I use this headset. Works pretty well and only costed £10 from the Orange shop online.
It sounded much better on my old Symbian running Sony Ericsson P990 than it does on my WM6 I-Mate 9502. High frequencies (like cymbals) get a bit distorted. Not sure if this is the same on all WM devices. I also probably find this more annoying than most because I'm a drummer. Definately bearable.
hi, before anybody says use the search on the forums, id like to say i have and still cant find anybody recommending stereo headset for the touch diamond, i have read about the jabra headset as well the sony and the nokias but cannot make mind up, please can someone share some of your experiences with your touch diamond.
p.s i have ordered from expansys the htc bh s100 only to find out that they are the french version with limitations on volume and have been in the expansys forum reading complaints on the unit so thats going to get canceled,so any help is appriciated,
thank you

The Best headset I have found is a Motorola headset the "MOTOROKR™ S9" you can see the manufacturers website here --> http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/S9/
Great battery life, comfortable, good sound quality when streaming audio as well as when using as a hands-free headset (provided the surrounding environment is not too loud).
Not exactly cheap...but it's a rugged little unit and quite resistant to environmental hazards..like washing machines
I also use the s9 and i love it. Highly recommend
thanks for replying people, the s9 doesnt suit me, but ive narrowed it down to the sony ericsson 220 are they any good?
yes actually i had this with the Sony Ericsson w960i. There a really good headset i liked that you could plug any headphones into it but found the wires redundant.
I use the plantronics 855 (I think thats the number), got no complaints at all, good sound qulity, great battery life and pretty damm comfortable.
I can't make up my mind, both of these phones are so good. N97 has 32gb memory storage that's way enough for all my movies and music. But, I love flashing new roms on my phone, n97 doesn't have roms... diamond2 doesn't have a headphone jack-(makes me mad), but flashing is super easy.
*Got to check if Nokia has anything similar to office*
So, I'm in a dilemma, so can anyone give any suggestion?

Both phones are bad. The Nokia N900 is better than N97. Louder higher quality speakers. Better audio jack sound quality. Faster, and faster processor (comes with a dedicated GPU to relief stress on CPU as well). Also has stereo speaker and audiojack. The phone looks very minimalist on the phone. The camera is better quality.
The HTC Diamond2 sucks. For this price level, get an HTC Hero. But HTC Hero sucks as well cause who would choose an HTC Hero over a Nexus 1 or Touch HD2? Well...people who can't afford it.
I don't want to spend like $600-800 Canadian dollars on a phone, because i don't see a point. In canada i can get the htc diamond2 for $315 and n97 is $430 dollars, Nexus one is 720 dollars here and so is hd2...
Go for Topaz!
You will have the great support from XDA!!
Go for the htc touch diamond2 and then have fun on xda!
But, doesn't the htc diamond 2 have screen problems, like newton ring and etc?
One of my freind is using TD2, and i must say the screen is pathetic. If you thinking abt TD2 then go for Touch Hd, it has 3.5mm jack and all other functionalities as in TD2 and it has way better screen.
