Should I buy HTC Touch Diamond - General Questions and Answers

Hi this is my first post. I am looking for a new cell phone. I bought a Samsung m530 and don't like it and will return it. I have been looking for something that has a few more toys. I have seen mixed reviews on the HTC Touch Diamond. I know its windows based and there is a lot of freeware available. I am sort of a computer geek so I am not afraid of playing around for a while. Is this a good phone. They have the last one on hold for me at a local Bell Store in Ontario for $150 Thanks in advance.

Call Raisa at OnTheGoSolutions.com and tell her Richard S. in Ohio referred you. I beleive they currently have them in stock. You may pay them a little more but they stand behind and service what they sell. They are in Chicago. Good luck.

I used On the go solutions too. I paid more...i think the prices have dropped too. But they seem to be a quality company. There is Raisa and then Dovid, you can talk to either one. Dovid, was shocked about me asking about the video driver issue.
I would test it before, because I'm really disappointed. I owned a p3600 before and a lot of other htc-devices and as far I can say the cruise is the worst device I have ever used (to be honest, this will be my last one, too).
I'm not sure, if only my device is that crappy, because it is so damn slow. For example if I want to load the start-menu (the small default one) I have to wait about one minute. To open the program-folder I wait another 30 seconds. Everytime I can watch the cruise painting line after line...
Yesterday I hard reseted the device and I have the same results again.

I just sold my HTC TyTN II (aka Kaiser) and bought the HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris).
It kicks ass

If you're happy with what you have and want to remain happy, then, don't buy it. Otherwise, you'd become like us, scrambling everywhere, looking for something that could make this sucker run, at least, decently the way it was designed for.

J&R is a large standard company and they can price match the online store's price too. Try them.

Trading Phones?

Hi Guys,
Quick Question, I have a Nokia N80 (yes, blasphemy around here - I Know). I don't want to sell it but instead I would like to trade it for a windows mobile 6 or 6.1 device.
I found a few sites that are for cell phone trading, but they seem to be more for profit of trading in old phones to buy new ones, not straight up trades.
Anyone here know of a good cell trading site, or, interested in trading a win mobile device for a N80 with a bunch of extras? It's all legit, I bought it myself in Brazil and paid for some apps for it etc. No stolen crap
Thanks,
Matt
www.swapz.co.uk
That's the only reputable one I know of
Thanks Leoni,
This site looks rad, but, because I'm in canada, shipping and mhz/voltages may be an issue.
I'll keep an eye out here though, look to be some great deals.
Thanks,
Matt
Have a look at www.esato.com they have a good marketplace going, and the a lot of the users are from different countries and quite a few international trades take place.
Steve
Dawso,
Thanks, this place looks great. Its too bad I have to wait 30 days before posting to the marketplace though
Thanks for the link either way, I'd never seen this place before and looks quite active.

O2 UK to get Touch HD2 (AKA Leo) in October

Just spoke to an O2 rep and they said a new phone had just it their system called an HTC HD2 which was due for release towards the end of October.
I was surprised as they have never sold an HTC branded phone before. Also, O2 and their release dates are often way off, I remember phones being pushed months and months based on their original release dates.
Exciting news none the less.
Would be better to post your coment on the same Leo thread insted of creating the 6th thread regarding Leo!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4597999&postcount=165
There is no official Leo thread. Just one stating that it is the first decent phone by HTC in a long time. I did not want to go off topic on that thread as I was not making any comment on how good that phone was.
Perhaps as a Mod you could spend less time picking on long term users and more time creating a Leo section on the site?!?
If this is true it's fantastic news. I was angry they didn't have the TP2 available, only iPhones as an upgrade, but the Leo looks like it will piss all over the TP2.
I'll not have to upgrade to an iPhone, sell it at a reduced rate, and put the money towards the Leo now.
I recently left O2 as there was no TP2 or equivalent. I am absolutely loving my TP2 and (1) I really use the keyboard and so maybe want the phone after the LEO, and (2) its anyone's guess when they will actually release it (o2 that is).
Also, my 18 month contract for my TP2 will finish in february 2011, and so the market should be flush with new WM7 native phones.
So I am not feeling bad about not waiting.

Did exactly the same as you my friend. Left O2 as no TP2. Moved to Orange on an 18 month. Mine finishes March 2011. So as you, Ill get myself a Touch Pro 3 with WM7. I like my keyboard to much to switch to a HD or Diamond.
If you're stuck in a contract you could always sell your existing handset and use the money you raise to buy a new one SIM-free, then continue to use the new phone with your contract SIM.
I prefer to use the network phone insurance as I have young kids who are very adept and getting my phone when I am not looking.
I just find it easier to call up and get a replacement if something happens to it.
Can't really do that if the network has never sold the model of phone I am using.
Looks like we'll be able to get the Leo for free from o2 on a £44 18 month contract according to engadget.

O2 normally rebadge their HTC phones as XDA phones like this one - XDA Guide (aka HTC Touch Cruise 09). A bit of a waste of time and money I am sure. Now that HTC is a pretty main stream brand they are maybe going to just sell them as HTC devices. Here is some more proof by the way, not sure if anyone has posted this but several blogs are showing pics of the latest O2 in store catalogue with a page for the HTC HD2: http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/htc-hd2-makes-first-official-appearance-in-o2-uk-catalog/
Its also coming on T-Mobile and Vodafone according to mobile phones direct :

HTC Leo Officially Announced - HTC HD2

Done a quick search but can't see anything on this here on the forum so here goes:
http://www.htc.com/uk/product/hd2/specification.html
Will one of the XDA moderators consider opening a dedicated forum for this device, now known as the HTC HD2 please?
I am toying between going straight out and buying one tomorrow morning, providing the stockists advertising them actually have the item in stock, or waiting until Christmas. Anyone else considering purchasing and of so how do we get the developers interested in doing stuff for this device?
Cheers
WB
LOL,
It was only ANNOUNCED today mate, that means you can forget about going out tomorrow and actually buy one ;-)
That said, I am going to buy one as soon as I can, hopefully somewhere around the end of october if we get lucky.
Me thinks that HTC got a best seller here, and am not worried that the XDA developers won't pick up this device anytime soon.
Until then, I keep drooling over the pics & specs
Clubbraxx,
I had a conversation with a supplier the other day and was left with the impression that some devices were already out there, waiting for today's announcement as the go-ahead for being able to release direct to the public as of now.
Needless to say I will be on the phone in the morning chasing up the said supplier and seeing what they have to say for themselves.
Just seen someone moaning about the price of the device at circa £550. Given the high-end spec of the device and taking a 3 or 4 year ownership span into account, I would say that this appears to be a reasonable price for a sim free device.
No doubt the networks will be doing their best to tie in the unwary into 3 year/multi dollar contracts to make a killing on these.
Let me know if you hear any news.
Cheers
WB
The device should be available before the end of this month. I'm looking forward to it
Btw, the device is listed on expansys for $829,99 (or €649,99).
I was told by a customer service rep at O2(UK) at the weekend, that they have the device listed for mid October release.
As an O2 customer who has a contract ending on November 1st, I am considering getting one ASAP. I am unsure however, whether to get HD2, or TP2.
QWERTY & TV out, or Monster capacitive screen. Hmmmmm.... decisions, decisions.
Any help appreciated. lol.
Please merge, so many loe threads now!

op...what have you been smoking?
Availability Update
Following my chasing up of contacts today it looks like network providers such as o2 will have their stock to be released from mid October, ie next week. Sim free providers will not be getting their stock for release until a month later, ie mid November.
The above applies to the UK only; I have no idea what the position is elsewhere.
My order is just about to go in....

Made my order today
Hi all!
What do you think of this model?
I fills my needs by 200%, but i heard that some software made for older 6 and 6.1 wont work on this new 6.5? Is that right? And i've also heard that Win mobile 7 is done. if so why did they not use win 7 on this new model?
Thanks in advance
****... I bought new Touch HD one week ago... Now I see HD2 and I'm not very happy...

Depends on how much you would really use the TV out feature. They keyboard...thats different, for me if the on screen keyboard is at least as good as the iPhones I can dump the physical one and be happy.

[Q] TG01 now, HD2 later or a different phone?

Hi,
I have been looking to upgrade my phone to a Smart Phone and originally planned on buying the HTC HD2. However, my fund have recently been run dry, and now I am considering the Toshiba TG01, that I can buy straight away. Which should I buy, the HD2 later, the TG01 now or some other phone now or later?

To get them wholesale you'd have to go through HTC. Try going through a retailer but ring and ask them if they give discount to bulk orders. Some do.
Thanks for the reply.
Don't think that he will be buying enough to go through HTC lol
I'll ring up some retailers tomorrow.
Just googled it and it came up with a whole load of Chinese scammers.
