Got my TD2 yesterday, still have my TD1 (until I sell it) here sre some comparisons:-

1) Unboxing

TD2 is in a much cheaper pack than TD1 simple outer box with simple inner "egg carton" tray, gone are the shiny cherger and usb cables to be replaced with functional but plain matte black ones.

2) Build quality

I would say about the same although the TD2 feels more solid in the hand to me

3) Radio

TD1 with latest official WWE ROM versus TD2 with ROM 1.39.405.2 (47382) WWE Radio 3.43.25.19 as I look at both devices in front of me both are showing 2 bars.

4) Interface responsiveness

Finger control is smoother and more responsive on TD2, interface feels faster. No lag any more when exiting Opera.

5) New Tabs

Stock Tab is nice deeper integration of TF3D (e.g. in calendar) is cool

6) Internet

Push web is a useful feature and it is easy to control how often pages update

7) People Centric communication

VERY useful (to me at least) only had the thing 24 hours and already used this feature several times!!!

8) Music performance

Have listened to about 1 hour of music with NO SKIPS, supplied headphones are adequate, device speaker is loud and clear

9) Video

The film "V" plays without skipping or stuttering at 927 kbps and 25 fps (which is how I encoded it). Don't know whether that is regarded as good or bad but it impressed me!!

10) Battery life

Not enough time to give a defintive opinion but seems good so far

In summary the TD2 is an evolution rather than a revolution, but if your TD1 is getting a little battered and tired and you have some spare cash, I would recommend the upgrade!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] yuanes:
I think it’s just straight common sense especially if you are a Touch Diamon1 user you buy the phone because of the size and its fully packed with great hard/software, and if there’s a new model almost the same but a little bigger but much faster and nicer it’s just common sense that you are going to upgrade to a Diamond2.

But I have to say the Pro2 really did get my attention. But still the Diamond2 won! Cant wait till tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Kraize:
All true. I would've prefered the Topaz, but oh well. HD here I come. 1 reason and 1 reason only. 3.5mm jack :P
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] uccoffee:
Does the HD 's 3.5mm jack works as MIC as well?

I just use the diamond with a 3.5 adapter with MIC, handy when there's incoming calls.

About the TD2 , is the stylus got magnatic ends like the TD1 / T PRO / HD? and pull out stylus turn on the screen?

Does TD2 use MSM7201A? and no 5-minutes lag with speakers or wire headset when using music softwares other than TouchFLO3d / WMP (eg: core player / TCPMP / pocket mucic / pocket player)

Can it be use in landscape mode for 3rd party software without regedit?

The TD1 cannot rotate screen other than opera/album, and HTC support will yell at you complain about touchflo3d / phone pad / incoming calls not working in landscape mode.

Can it play RMVB files like the SAMSUNG OMNIA?

When you press CALL button , the phone pad will pop up with last few call history, in the TD1, there are some left and right arrows on the right side of the number for you to choose between mobile / text / work / home / email , it ONLY works with the D-pad in the TD1 . How to toggle between mobile / text / work / home / email in TD2 ?

Does the zoom bar work in most software?

How about the BACK buttons? is it as useless as the one on TD1?

Many thanks :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adesonic:
To answer some of your questions about the TD2

The stylus is not magnetic, but pulling it out still turns on the screen like the TD1

The device information on my TD2 shows a 7200A fitted - I use core player, I get no lag

Landscape mode is available for Opera, Album, Email and You tube out of the box

No Idea on RMVB files

Pressing the call button still brings up a call history, there is an icon next to each which calls up the contact card for the person, you select home/ mobile/ email etc. from there, the whole process is slick and fast, no lag.

The zoom bar works in camera (video and still image), album, opera, excel and word - maybe others, haven't checked everything!

The back button does what it says on the box...

Hope this helps
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PapaDocta:
how about the RAM usage? on startup and after opening and closing application?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adesonic:
After a soft reset - RAM usage is 37%, if I then open OPERA, navigate to bbc.co.uk and then close opera (completely), RAM usage is 52%. I don't think mine has got beyond 60% at any time so far.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HandySpanner:
I don't get why people want their PPC to have free RAM not being used all the time. The unit should be bouncing off 95% used as much as it can.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] uccoffee:
many thanks!

Does word/excel work in landscape mode? Email works in landscape, does it mean SMS/MMS works in landscape too?

When using EMAIL in landscape mode, what happen when there's an incoming call?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adesonic:
Word and Excell do not switch to Landscape, SMS/MMS do not switch to landscape. When on email in landscape, an incoming call results in caller ID being displayed in portrait mode.

One important note, the annoying delay before the phone rings on an incoming call that was present on the TD1 appears to have been eliminated on the TD2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] yuanes:
SMS does go into landscape! i tought it also but if you tilt the phone to your left it goes into landscape :D

This phone rocks! that i even tought about have a full keyboard
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] zen123:
I actually liked the TD1. I also have a Nokia 5800 & the wife has a LG Renoir, I tried so hard to like the Nokia but S60 is total ****e.

Anyway only a few things annoyed me about the TD1 most significant being low speaker volume & low memory warnings. After reading the posts here and on a few other sites it seems the TD2 has addressed most of the failings of the TD1 so thats reason enough for me make the upgrade.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adesonic:
i was also a big fan of the original diamond and upgradef mainlu for the official route to wm6.5. i am glad i did, this phone rocks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pietrucci:
And: TD 2 better camera (5 MP), larger screen 3,2" WVGA 480x800, much more memory, micro SD-card, stronger battery.

But also: no select/scroll wheel, remove the backcover to softreset and to get the sd-card in and out, a little bit thicker...

My new baby...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adeltaY:
TD2 actually has removable memory. That's a huge plus IMO. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] christonge:
Great to see you here pietrucci!!! Got mine yesterday as well. The out of the box speed of this thing is quite impressive... look forward to some of your benchmarks when we get cooking! This is going to be fast...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kidFromBigD:
FM radio?

Was wondering if anybody has tried to use the FM radio? Does it exist in the D2? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pietrucci:
hi christonge, will perform my first tests tomorrow. It feels fast, hopefully it also benchmarks fast...

I'll be back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] adesonic:
fm radio present and correct1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eXelero:
when i compared D1 with D2, i saw that the D1 has a proximity sensor for auto turn-off (when putting it to the ear during a call), and it seems not to be mentioned for the D2.

is it true that the D2 does not have the proximity sensor? so when you call, while putting the phone to your ear/face, you can accidentally press "buttons"?

this would really suck imo... :/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] real187:
have you ever used a daimond 1? memory usage was/ is a big problem.

if you look at the touch pro--> it had more mem... and it runs much smoother..alot!!..all the time!!

you say 95%--> then the daimond isn`t usable!!

TD2 has the same amount mem. as the TP. and i must say it runs faster and smoother than the TD1.

Should people upgrade? TD1-->TD2

-because of the newer software?---NO---it wil get ported anyway (already)

-because of the bigger screen?-- you decide-- TD1 looks just as nice!

-because of the better mem usage?-- YES

-because of the better cam?-- NO... the stil didn`t ad a LED.

-because of the looks?-- YES

al i can say make up your own mind-- i did.---> TD2

review on Tracy & Matt

There is quite a good review posted here, with lots of comparisons to the D1

http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2009/04/24/htc-touch-diamond2-review
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] c4b3l3r4:
I think the sensor you are talking about is the light sensor wich is located where you put your ear.

Do you think htc made an improvement on the lcd screen or this is just software,not hardware? Because as my diamond is gone i'm thinking now between TD2 and HD.Other thing that's freakin me out between this two phones is which ones are more susceptive to brick?:confused:I guess it's hd because the larger screen but not totaly sure yet if htc doesn't made any improvements on screen.

Assistence fix in Brazil is a hell!:mad: that's why i'm looking for!:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] KraFT_mk:
After 72 hours.

All the “innovations” awards goes for:

HUGE Software improvement.

TF has near_Iphone_touch experience. The only thing that I like @Iphone. (The only thing.)

The higher pixel count and overall great display quality.

The photos taken are great with hi quality and they are very usable.

Haptic feedback and better volume from the speaker.

No GPS lag.

Cheapest packaging I have seen in my life. This is good if that helped in reducing the overall price.

SD Card.

Zoom.

Now the bad things.

Who the hell designed TD2.

And “diamond” ? WTF? Looks like an old ""Telefunken" TV from the 80`s.

What “noble” metallic look? Looks like a coffin.

Forget that sleek design and that easy handy TD1 feeling.

The bottom plate is even worse. If you didn’t liked the TD1 diamond shape of the back plate I am sure you will start to like it now.

And it’s not black. And it’s not a piano black. It’s some very dark_brown_ to_ black_colour and due to the flat surface all fingerprints are 100% more exposed.

For me this is by far a total opposite from what “diamond” should look and feel like in your hand, in your pocket and on the table.

IF This was Touch PRO OR HD or anything else I would not mind.

The design and colors chosen ads to the size of the TD2. Period.

The battery.

I am not a power user and the use of the diamond is extended for 20% which IS NOT ENOUGH for not having a spare battery with yourself. With TD1, I had one spare in my pocket wallet and I would use it once a week. If this is the only reason about the size of the TD2 they did the worst job ever. Now I have bigger device and bigger spare battery in my wallet.

The styus.

The return of the “regular” stylus.

HTC “innovation” invented a great feature that was not only for showing around but actually was very usable.

Now its gone without any explanation.

Conclusion.

If I had to chose between TD1 and TD2 where both have the same software speed I would chose TD1.

Innovations are about innovations. This is just a improved device. Fat one.

Hello there, i looked around the forum and through the web but found no solution.

As i´m no programmer i don´t know if that would work, but my idea is to do a new theme for the taskbar/bottombar just with complete transparent bars...

would that be possible?

goal is to achieve the look of titanium even in "normal" windows and especially in manila if you have set the same wallpaper on today screen and manila.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Had a looked @ ROM and read every response.

Are they really transparant? or has Cotulla used another bit of software to implemement the bar or .tsk?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fishwiz45:
they truly are transparent, i just upgraded my magician! i want this on my other(primary( device running 6.1
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nothin:
cotulla's job is most interesting thing at this forum, imo(sorry, titanium skinners, sorrry..:P)..

BUT i think you won't get much info about that :(

nobody can see revolution of wm03 mem method with his rom, i.e.

nobody ever tried to do this with 6.x, but him.

bars are second thing.

this guy must know the job, damn.

btw, 6.5 bars transparency is just a JOKE.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] adamo86:
its possible with wisbardesktop

you can have transparent bars.i seen a thread but very complicated for me you have to use wisbardesktop

While upgrading to WM 6.5 something goes wrong.

My device did not loaded the new ROM but erased the old one.

If I power on it I see an O2 image.

If I go into bootloader mode (press the two - keys and reset) I see the HP bootloader for about 2-3 minutes (it does not load the new ROM from SD card) and then it display the O2 image.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djp76:
The files in the fix folder are .cab files so they need to be ran from your phone,the .lnk files are shortcuts and can be moved using any file explorer program and you can create you .lnks to any .exe using total commander or any other leading brand file explorer.

Then just drag the Pocket Fallout folder to the root of your memorycard as explained at the start of the thread.

The Topez (diamond 2) has been released to retialers on a sim free basis.

Concidering it would make sense for HTC to release the Pro 2 not too far away from the D2, when does anyone think we should see the Pro 2 avail sim free?

Well, one of the online shops in poland, skleppda.pl is offering TP2 in preorder for some time now and they state clearly that the device will be available in THE SECOND HALF OF MAY in ENG language version. Maybe thats not much of a precise info, but definetly second half of may isn't june;-) What's more, it seems like this info hasn't changed since the release of TD2, which is already available on our market
