HTC Touch Diamond, New Flagship Model...

Quick question that I would appreciate an answer to very much as it may sway whether I buy this or not. Is it capable of WPA-2 Enterprise encryption on the WiFi? My uni requires that encryption to get onto its network so its something I kind of need.

Went around a few phone shops the other day and none of them have exact release dates as of yet for the phone being available with a contract.

Cheers

How can i check for you?


Speed wise... fine tbh since I put the tweaks on. It seems to the the touch flow that people are complaining about. If you turn it off (which I havnt, only to try) the device flies. The problem with touchflow is the flashy graphics...they look great...but u tend to be waiting for it to complete its smooth flashyness if u get my meaning. Us phone geeks are to quick for it lol!!
 
It shows all the page, you double tap and it zooms in and reformats the page. It is the best and fastest mobile browser I have used bar none.

It picks up wifi just as good my laptop.
 
Ohhh I have a meaty question now... does it suffer the same problems as the TyTn II with regards to video playback acceleration... have you tried playingf a full 640*480 video on it to see how it performs? :)

i put a high bitrate transformers on at vga, using coreplayer its as smooth as silk. pleasnatly surprised.
 
Well i just placed my pre-order for a proper UK spec Diamond rather than take a chance with a grey import..been hearing there are a few problems with the grey imports that are flooding the country.

Should have it by 24th of June from what the guy was saying on the phone...been delayed as HTC wanted to sort out a few software issues with the Diamonds. Tbh still not sure im going to keep it, ive got 7 days in which to play around with it and make up my mind...if i do send it back then ill be waiting for the Sony Xperia X1 which should be out by Sept this yr fingers crossed although one store thinks its out on 1st of July.
 
I've been trying to decide between the Diamond and the new iPhone. I've been interested in the Diamond since it was announced and placed a pre-order pretty much straight away, but I cancelled that after the iPhone announcement so I could mull things over also ensure that I was getting a UK device rather than a grey import. I coming round to the Diamond again now, and I plan to use the device as a modem which I'm not sure is possible with the Apple device?

I was in the same situation as you were/are in but ive decided to go for the Diamond as the new iphone really isnt much of an improvement over the original bar the 3G chip plus the gps...but its not a 'proper' gps chip from what i have heard etc. Was really hoping the new iphone would have brought much more to the table but sadly it hasnt...so at the moment im going for the Diamond and see how i get on with that...if that dont work out then its the Sony Xperia X1 that i will be waiting for next.

Yep, the Diamond seems like a good all-round device to me. I can easily live with the 4Gb of storage so I've just placed another pre-order.
 
An update on a few things:

Got Garmin Mobile XT running with the europe maps. Very good and responsive. Amazing GPS reception, get a signal within 10seconds everytime.

Battery life is not the best, BUT, the device is sooo much smaller and lighter than the tytn 2 its unbelievable! But I have been using the GPS, wifi, internet, music, calling etc quite a lot. Recharge times though are very quick to compensate.

The game teeter is incredible, everyone is gobsmaked when they see it. Guiding the ball around the maze with the phone is very addictive. When the ball hits the walls you actually feel it :cool:

Wifi reception is excellent.
Call quality through my bluetooth is the clearest I have ever experienced.
Phone reception is on par with my other phones.

Movie playback using coreplayer 1.25 is perfect for me.

touchflo stutters occasionally, but hey, cant have everything. Usually when you have programs still open.

Wish the contacts would integrate into the touchflo system better.



Cant think of anything else at the moment...

Ps. had no problems with my grey import so far.
