Help with HTC Touch Diamond and warranty issues? - General Questions and Answers

The touch screen on my HTC Touch Diamond broke and I had to send it off for repair with my bank's insurance company. They told me that it's beyond repair and so they're going to try and find another phone for me (another HTC Touch Diamond, but if not then they will find a "phone similar to it"). I have a contract with Orange.
1. Will the warranty with Orange now be void because my phone has been replaced?
2. The HTC Touch Diamond (to my knowledge) has now been discontinued due to the released of the HTC Touch Diamond 2. So do you think this is a pretty sure hint that I won't be getting another HTC Touch Diamond?
3. Do you have any idea of similar phones that I might get? What do these sorts of companies consider a "similar phone"? (e.g. the OS, the features, the general look of the phone etc. )
Thanks, any answers to any of the questions would be appreciated!
If anyone has any previous experience of this then it would also be appreciated!
Thanks.
P.S One another small thing; is there any chance I could receive an HTC Touch Diamond 2?

New Smartphones

Hello,
Here is the thing I have a HTC Tornado (Qtek 8310). I want to buy a new Smartphone because mine is dying slowly.
I do not want a pocket pc phone (I don't like touch screens), and I do not want side keyboard, or a fat one under screen like the SGH-i607. I want to stick with the simple Smartphone design.
I want a Smartphone like the HTC Tornado. All I really need is Wifi and eventually the Visio with the cam in the front.
I notice the phone HTC MTeoR/Breeze.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Breeze
But apparently the cam caused life batteries issues and it does not have good reviews from what I've read.
What are the other options I can have? What are the upcoming Smartphones or current phones that could replace the HTC Tornado?
The basic stuff I need is:
- Wifi
- Windows mobile 6
- Better Hardware than the HTC Tornado
The htcs730 looks good but it has a slide keyboard, i guess i would need a phone like the htcs730 without the side keyboard if that exist http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcs730.html
Thanks

You are narrowing your choice hard, you don't like single hand qwerty keyboard phones nor slide qwerty keyboards.
Your only choice than is last years Asus model P525 (there is one problem: it is a touch screen device) http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=3316

That looks like the new generation Blackberry Pearl. It's pretty sweet, but it's Blackberry.
My beef w/Blackberry is fewer apps/games/media/warez, they are less hackable, and it's obviously not WM.

Question about phones i can use

I was wondering.. Since i have a contract now with T-mobile, i cant go and get the HTC-diamond or for that matter, any of the HTC phones can i? except the stupid FUGLY g1? or the "raphael"? I liked the original style for the diamond better, like the way its shaped and stuff. Also the HTC -HD looked nice too... could i order a HTC diamond or any of those HTC phones from somewhere and slide my sim card in there? I was looking on the HTC site already but its too confusing...
So basically I figured maybe someone else maybe already has used the diamond. Actually any of those HTC phones like the HD,dual,or cruise with t-mobile as their provider.. and could tell me if that worked or not. Considering my contract isnt due anytime sooon.... and all of "t-mobiles phones" look lame! I have the wing right now, and let me tell you this phone is junk, mainly because of its memory and processor speed. But enough of my babblin, any help would be aprreciated guys. Thanks!
I would recommend to start here: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdachooser
And then try to search in your selected device specific thread
Good luck!
you sure can get the htc fuze (at&t's version of the htc touch pro/raphael) and get it unlocked and do whatever with it... just do your homework and read before you do anything.

WorldCard Mobile

I just purchased a HTC Diamond. I want to have something to do business card recognition. Hopefully, it will have my time. I am tired of typing every contact one by one. Heard about this software and where can I find this? Is this compatible with my Touch Diamond? Can I get it free?

HTC Touch Pro 2 to replace iPaq?

So, I am due for a phone upgrade, and want to stay with a touchscreen phone. I am with verizon and currently have the Voyager. I also use an iPaq hx2495 that is chock full of stuff from this site. Verizon offers the TouchPro2 for an upgrade. I have never gone with a smart phone, but figure since the pro's regarding HTC phones are here, this is the place to ask if its worth replacing my faithfull iPaq with the TouchPro 2? Also, if I do go with this route, will I be able to add to my phone using the programs and whatnot from this site, or does verizon lock my ability to 'upgrade' the TouchPro 2?
so, over 20 views and no advice?

Successor to htc touch pro2

As we have seen and heard all about the new HTC HD2, most of us really like this phone or love this phone. We want this phone for our own likes. Some like it for the looks, some like it just because it is the latest and greatest, some like it but want it to have a keyboard, and there are the ones that agree with all these reasons and more. Well here is another HTC phone that we can all talk about and send an E-Mail to [email protected] asking for SPRINT TO GET THIS PHONE! http://htcpedia.com/news/hd3-is-goin...-the-line.html Check this phone out and yu decide for yourself on how much you WANT this latest phone from HTC to come to SPRINT. Send an E-Mail to [email protected] telling him how much and how bad you want this phone, and wether or not you also would like it with or without a keyboard. We had a choice between the HTC TOUCH PRO & HTC TOUCH DIAMOND. Now we have a choice between the HTC TOUCH PRO2 & will later be able to also choose the HTC TOUCH DIAMOND2. If SPRINT can get the HTC HD2 & HTC HD2 PRO from HTC because enough of their customers are asking for these, then it also would be that we can have SPRINT convince HTC to manufacture both the HTC HD3 & HTC HD3 PRO. So, again I say let's all send an E-Mail to [email protected] telling him that we SPRINT CUSTOMERS WANT THESE PHONES!
But I don't want these phones. I just got my Touch Pro 2. I'm a wierdo in that I don't buy a new phone every 3 weeks in order to keep up with the latest and greatest. At some point I have to call it quits and stick with whatever it is I have for a while. If they build it, I will not come.
Another issue is that I very seriously doubt that emails left with some Sprint exec are going to convince HTC to build the HTC NON-AMATEUR HD-12 or whatever it is you want them to invent.
I am glad that you read this post. You are entitled to your opinion. What you don't realize is that we can talk to these people and if enough of us do that, then they will talk to the manufacture in responce to the mass requests from the customers "US" who are the reason for them to have their jobs and also to justify their positions.
Anyone that has an opinion about this matter wether positive or negitive is entitled to let that be heard. So, everyone please post your opinion here. If you agree with me, then just send an E-Mail to [email protected] and also let him know what you think. The people who disagree, you can also send an E-Mail and explain why you don't want that phone.

What you don't seem to realize, besides the fact that spelling things correctly is likely to make a better impression upon those executives you're trying to convince, are several factors:
- There is no evidence that Sprint has ever really listened to their user base irrespective of how vociferous or well-grounded their howls of protest may be. See, for example, the 21,352 threads about Windows Mobile 6.5 on the Touch Pro 2. Other examples include many months of disabled GPS on the Mogul, and so on.
- An executive who gets even several hundred emails requesting a particular extant device may very well presume that those represent a majority of everyone who wants it. They need to sell way more than that. The exec will listen to the company's research department, not emails.
- Emails demanding that one company somehow force another company to create and manufacture a device that does not currently exist are simply not going to carry any weight at all. At a level where developing a device costs millions, that's not how businesses work.
In short, I think this is, like every other internet petition, a complete and utter waste of time.
Worse, it distracts from current real issues with the phones we actually have in our hands. I'm not personally convinced that, for example, a letter-writing campaign about the broken Bluetooth on the Touch Pro 2, will do any good at all. However, it's a real problem with a real device for which we've paid real money and which has real consequences for for the day-to-day usability of the devices. Some would argue that it violates the implied contract of usability ("it has Bluetooth!") made when we bought the phones, since many people are unable to hang up through Bluetooth, obviating any real utility to the feature.
Any energy devoted to writing emails to Sprint execs would be better-spent asking them to live up to their obligations with respect to devices they're currently selling rather than non-existent devices that, based on past experience, they'll break and never fix in the future.
The sucessor to MY Touch Pro 2 must have Windows Mobile 7 out of the box and the speed to run it.

What? For some reason you harbor some doubt that if Sprint sells it with 6.5 with a promise of an upgrade they might not provide such an upgrade?

I've owned the Motorola Select 2000e (literally the size of a brick), Motorola Timeport, Motorola Rizr z3, HTC Herald (Wing), HTC Touch Pro 2. Don't think I didn't want the devices in between them, but I agree, I'm eyeballing the HTC HD2 with double the horsepower of the Touch Pro 2 and God knows what the folks here on XDA will dream up for it but at some point you have to jump in with both feet and accept the reality like buying a PC the moment you do, your device is an instant relic. We also have to face the reality that whether contract, no contract and/or unlocked it won't be cheap. Yes, T-Mobile reduced the price of the TP2 from $349.99 to $269.99 to pave the way for the HD2 but at what cost. At what cost to any device as we move forward?
I have screen protectors, "Body Gloves" and 8GB memory cards; if I can't sell my devices in mint condition on eBay or Craigslist for what I paid for my devices I'll cry!!! I can sell my TP2 for $300; good luck selling my Dell Axim for even a $100.
Okay, the Snapdragon is twice as fast as my device, but what does that mean; twice as fast at what; opening my emails or my programs? I play Chess; now the day they make a program which I can give voice commands and type a document "vocally" as fast I type on a keyboard; then let's talk! Until then, I pout at what might have been.
I'm glad to see that there are both sides of this issue being discussed. I had also originally started out with a brick for a phone and had went smaller and smaller until the idea of using the phone for more than just making phone calls. I had the original HTC TOUCH and was happy with it for a while. I had quickly got very tired of using the onscreen keyboard, and wished that I could get a keyboard. I started looking for a new phone. The HTC TOUCH PRO was what I was going to get for an upgrade, so while I was waiting for the date that I could upgrade my phone I had found the HTC TOUCH PRO2 and really loved what I saw. At the time when I saw this, it was not even released from HTC anywhere. What I saw was leaked to the internet. there were people who also did not believe that would make it's way to market, but here it is. While waiting for my upgrade date, I had upgraded my wifes phone to the HTC TOUCH PRO. She was totally against that, but I did that for her anyway. Now she just loves it and can not live without having a keyboard on her phone. I told ter that I was going to upgrade my HTC TOUCH and she was not too happy with that, but once she had gotten used to her new phone, she was not against that idea except for one thing, the price. I told her that she did not have to worry since I would pay for it all from my side money, so then she was in agreement. My HTC TOUCH had quite a few problems with freezing and random rebooting, and some times I had to pull the battery to reboot it when it froze up. Then I had to have it replaced because it would not stop a continous loop of starting and shutting down, even if I had tried to do a hard reset. The second replacement would also do random reboots, but only once in a while no matter what, wether I was online or on a call. I was happy with getting rid of that phone. The very first day that the HTC TOUCH PRO2 became available from SPRINT, I had called and ordered it. I still have the original ROM on my phone and I have n
I still have the original ROM on my phone from SPRINT and I have not had the problems that most people are complaining about. I have downloaded some things to my phone to tweak it a little and to add eye candy. I use everything on my phone that it came with and what I downloaded except for 2 things, SPRINT TV & SPRINT MUSIC. I have no need for either of them at all. I download music and video's to my 16GB card and I stream video to my phone from my SLING BOX PRO. On average I stream anywhere between 10GB & 15GB of data every month. There are some things that I can not stand that ALL of the US carriers had requested from HTC. They had all requested that there be no FRONT FACING CAMERA, and that the FM RADIO be either disabled in the GSM modles and when the ROM for the CDMA models be written, that they wish for it to be excluded. They had ALL did this, so they can later SELL us their CRAP that we should have gotten just like the EUROPIAN & ASIAN models got right out of the box. According to HTC, they said that the carriers customers did NOT want those features. We know that is a load of crap. So, as I say LET'S STAND UP AND TELL AND DEMAND WHAT WE WANT! We don't have to just sit back and wait for whatever just happens to come our way. So, who ever your carrier is wether it be AT&T, SPRINT, T-MOBILE, or VERIZON, call them and speak up and be heard. If enough of us do just this, they will listen. That's why the HTC HD2 will be coming to the US and to T-Mobile first, because enough of us spoke up loud enough for us to be heard. So till nex time.......
