[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] somekiwiguy:
I decided I wanted a new phone, so went looking.

Criteria was: cannot be touchscreen only, needs wifi, a decent price and just be a useable phone.

Found the HTC Website among many others. While looking at the likes of the touch pro, or Diamond1, ensuring that there was at least a alphanumeric physical heypay or a qwerty keypad on it, noticed the picture of the Touch Diamond 2 several times (you know how the HTC website has images of all the phones there to pick from.)

Kept seeing the TD2, thought it was a beautiful phone. No physical keypad though. By the way, i should mention, i got an LG Viewty on a 3 Australia 29$ cap, liked it at first then the novelty of touch wore off... and it was a dog to use easily, so thats why i vowed never to get a touch only phone again).

Kept looking, read review after review, but kept seeing the TD2. Decided to check it out (gave me SOMETHING to do at work) and in particular looked up the pocketnow.com review, and the GSMArena Specs sheet. Was impressed.

The phone is an absolute pleasure to look at from every angle and still gets me every time i take it out of my pocket (its been my friend for 2 months now), the screen kicks ass, and the TF3D does wonders to the crapiness of 6.1 (Oct 6 = 6.5, YAY!), and in the end, after managing to find some small con about evey other phone I considered, I chose the TD2.

-No 3.5mm jack (maybe htc will catch on someday, but and adapter is only 3 bux, and it saves an extra thing distrupting the clean edges of the TD2)

-Touch only (enough people had said that the keypad is surprisingly easy to use, and now that i have it, it is, and the tidy integration of word suggestion works wonders for quicker typing, and i think the fingerfriendly advancements of TF3D makes touch a better option now)

-No camera flash (its would be nice, but i dont miss it that much at all really, id use a digital camera if im trying to take pro shots.)

-and other cons, i figured i could really do without.

So in the end thebenefits outweighed the cons. Such a comfortable phone to hold, good weight, great build quality, sleek angles, sophisticated design, easy to use, and works perfectly for me.

Thats why I brought a HTC Touch Diamond 2 (T5353, Topaz) (from smoothmobiles.com.au for 675$)!!! :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] x10000:
I got a few criteria when I got my TD2,

1. TouchFLO3D (So its obviously a HTC)

2. GPS

3. WCDMA/3G

4. considerably fast.

5. Fit in any pocket.

6. support Chinese/Japanese/Thai and English without having to flash the ROM or buy any language pack.

The Pros

1. Fit my pockets.

2. Feels good when hold while making phone calls.

3. Minimalist design. (iphone button is actual a waste of free space than minimalist)

4. The touch screen is very sensitive.

5. Crisp video playback

The Cons

1. No camera flash (If I want to takes photos I do it with a digital camera)

2. No headphone jack (Same here I listen music on mp3p)

3. The tf3d music player initialize a bit slow. (same reason as above)

So compare my criteria, pros and cons TD2 fits best for me.

PS. Hate TD2 so much? Sell it or just through it out of your windows.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] haranbh:
OMG !!

That was the stupidest thing that you`ve done in your life (so far, i think :p)

I HAD an iPhone !! AND HATED IT !!!

If you don`t know, Apple is recalling all 3GS iPhones to investigate why the phone`s battery is running out too fast (1 day).

iPhones are for lazy people, and teenagers that don`t want to customize they phone and want to spread the word "I HAVE AN IPHONE"... thats so lame !

WHY should I have a phone that has no bluetooth, battery replacement and its big, heavy and ugly like a stone !!

I had Sony Ericssons, iPhone (3G), Nokias (N73, N95) and now my fist HTC TD2..

I can say: THAT IS THE BEST PHONE EVER !!!

Fast

2 days battery MINIMUM

VERY VERY good GPS signal

PERFECT call quality

100 ~ grams weight only

very slim

very customizable

and best of all: i got one :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hazeline:
Agree!

Although i do not own a Diamond 2, however i do agree with this person. Iphone cannot be customized if you do not jailbreak and you stare at all the same icons over and over again with the same interface. It is sooooo dull.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mike Austin:
I didn't buy a HTC D2 because it was too expensive. So when T-Mobile offered me an upgrade to the (equivalent) Compact V for £74, it was a no brainer.

I wanted to find a one-device solution for my Nokia 6500 slide and FS Loox N560 PDA that was sized in-between the two. I wanted high res, WM6 and GPS. I wanted Bluetooth connectivity to a laptop to be online during the day and Bluetooth connectivity to my Parrot 3100 in my car.

Apart from the Bluetooth connectivity not working properly, I am generally quite happy with it so far. I cannot Bluetooth network to a laptop (neither Windows XP nor Windows 7) to share the internet connection. This is a problem I have asked about on several forums but there has been no resolution. I have to use usb. In the car, it works apart from voice activation of contacts.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] JimDantin:
My AT&T Tilt served me well but finally died. After using it for a few years I was quite comfortable with WinMo and HTC devices. I never used the Tilt's hardware keyboard, so when I saw the D2 (packaged as the AT&T Pure) it was love at first sight --

Bigger screen

No D-pad

No keyboard, so thinner than Tilt

Better camera, but still no flash :-(

More memory

Faster

FM radio!

G sensor

WM 6.5

:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] henfeb:
from XDA mini to TD2...a huge upgrade.The most complete & multi-tasking phone I ever owned.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] geojoshi:
The reason i brought this phone, i was fed up of Nok!@. the previous phone i had just fell apart with in first 6 months of usage...i had paid almost eqal amount for a phone.

I was looking for smothing sturdy, easy to use and versatile phone. After 2 months of usage i think i am happy with it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Niczo:
At first, it was a close call between the Samsung Jet, the Hero or the D2. I quickly discovered that while the Jet is cheap, has great hardware as well as a WVGA screen, it doesn't qualify as a "real" smartphone because it only runs Samsungs own proprietary OS.

Great if you don't care, not so great for me since I wanted the real thing.

So, I was left with either the Hero or the D2. The Hero seemed to score better in reviews, people love the design as well as the factory-fresh UI. The fact that it's an Android phone also raised some eyebrows.

The D2 was criticized for its WinMo 6.1, and TF3D still needed some tweaking at the time when most of these reviews were made (late april or early may). I still chose to go with the D2, admittedly mainly because of the WVGA screen resolution combined with its compact size. Despite its shortcomings software-wise it still recieved high scores.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bigdawggs:
Just got the Pure a few days ago. I've had a Tilt for the past 2 years and this phone was the best combination of features (bigger screen, faster processor, WinMo 6.5) and price ($49.99 after rebate) I could find. Wanted a Tilt 2 but not for the price.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
I got the Pure as a warranty replacement from my Fuze after AT&T sent me numerous bad handsets.

I actually felt good about the swap because after I got my Fuze (Touch Pro) I found that there was a non-keyboard model, the Diamond... which lacked a keyboard and was skinnier. I played with the Diamond and meh the keyboard was ok (old stock).

When the my first phone was getting replaced they had me take it to a Corp store to get inspected. Thats where I saw the Pure. Not really worth the upgrade price but I did notice the keyboard had been improved. Being a Chef I started cooking in the Pure's keyboard into my Raphael builds and finding that I didn't need the hardware keyboard at all.

When AT&T refused to send me another Fuze as a replacement and offered me the Pure, I jumped on it. I like it alot actually. The only downside is that it could use another button similar to the PTT button on the Fuze/tilt2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] oppaunke:
short answer: i had to get a new wm-based ppc-phone.

long answer:

i had a lot of htc's devices:

-Orange SPV E100

-Motorola MPX 100

-Motorola MPX 200

-O2 XDA 2 (Himalaya)

-O2 XDA 1 (Wallaby)

-O2 XDA Mini ( Magician )

-HTC P3600 ( Trinity ; black one ; lost the device )

-O2 XDA Mini S ( Wizard ; got it from a friend )

-O2 XDA Orbit 2 ( Polaris )

-O2 XDA Comet ( Atom Life ; non HTC ; pretty fast but didn't like it very much )

-HTC P3600 ( Trinity ; white one ; back to the last really good device i had in memory)

-O2 XDA Diamond ( nice device, but my screen had a failure out of warranty )

And now:

-HTC Diamond 2 ( Topaz )

Any questions?

Next device planned for 2010 summer or winter... we'll see... maybe even later.... my car is more important :)

does anyone know if tom tom navigator 7, navigon 7, coreplayer work on winmo 6.5.

also i might sell my touch hd if i flash it will it delete my number of hours on calls so that it can look new.

cheers in advanced.
[Touch HD General] PJMDS:
6.5 is the same has 6.1, just got some changes on the interface, applications should all work well
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
and no, it will not update/change/delete/reset your "number of hours on calls so that it can look new". :rolleyes:

[P3400 General] Addicted2xda:
Dear All,

I have seen this in the about xda forum. But it appears that most of the Gene users don't read any other thread apart from the Gene upgarding etc. forum.

You might want to read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539407.

Its high time you take care of your chefs, trust me if you don't, the only one to lose will be you not the chef(s).

I can tell two instances:

1. krazy had a really bad personal problem (his accomodation), but most did not read it or did not care to worry about it, instead continued their demands.

2. ankit360 has not recieved a single donation till date! can you believe it.

I do not say that donating is mandatory, but c'mon guys, you are getting so many great stuffs from the chefs / geeks in this forum.

To be blunt with you, where is the gratitude????

[And if you say you can't afford, c'mon - you are not using a Nokia 1110i, you are using a 10K mobile]

Sorry if I sound rude.
[P3400 General] krazy_about_technology:
Dear Addicted, i really feel for you man in my heart. You think so much about us, and this forum and its members in general. I am glad we have you in this forum :)
[P3400 General] deathgame:
ANKIT AND SUMIT deserves it!!
[P3400 General] Addicted2xda:
And I am lucky to have you :).

Otherwise I would have sold my Gene and gone to some other forum (HTC of course).

@deathgame:

And so does each and every fab members of this forum, always remember:

1. Ramersonw first got us hooked to cooking and created the method for determining old / new Gene.

2. vaibhav created an automatic gene verifier (poor guy, doesn't even get thank you's !!!).

3. BesFen: Made cooking a walk in the park.

4. Zelalat: He was the one who ported a M2D ROM for new Gene (If I am not wrong). Lomlom was the cooker of the original.

[WOW MY HISTORY IS GOOD :D]

And of course guys like you, karan and all the cooks, who has kept this forum one of the most happening device forum around.

Hope users start appreciating your efforts rather than demanding :).
[P3400 General] vaibhav_batra_the_techguy:
We should definitely take care of our chefs and one more thing we should also take care of olipro & orefkov :D bcs its because of them all the fun we are having nowadays.....Sumit, Ankit, Ramersonv, Basha, Lomlom, A2X, Nirvana, Bepe....(Sorry if i forgot someone) they all have done a remarkable job in GENE section....

BTW 1 day while chatting with Sumit I offered him technical support for his Pc/ Lappy as i m a hardware eng. :D

I m gonna donate Sumit N Ankit and wish to donate to olipro too but unfortunately i don hv a credit card :(:(:(
[P3400 General] Addicted2xda:
Thtat's really great (but I honestly don't think that I should be mentioned with the pple you have named).

I also wanted to donate to ramersonw and to be frank, before every one to xda, but I also don't have a credit card.

I would request all pple who care about this forum to bump up this thread once in a while. As you can see, I do not have my TD yet (and hence visiting this forum regularly), but once I got it, my visits will ultimately be next to nil.

Thank you,

You folks are really fabulous, and that include YOU!

EDIT:

To be blunt, do you notice how many pple feel like us (even in the original thread).

BTW @everyone, you do not need to donate to show your appreciation. A praise, being less demanding is good enough (perhaps). Understand that these guys have a personal and professional life and they honestly don't OWE US ANYTHING. They are sharing their knowledge and creations with us because they are generous enough to do so. So appreciate it and ACKNOWLEDGE it.
[P3400 General] ramersonw:
I'm still here (with a less contribution, I know.:(). Almost every day I see the forum and sometimes post something:D(all PMs that I receive I respond soon or later). Since the beginning of the year I have made many trips (to work) and have little time at home (my wife hates it.) to cook and try new things:(. Yet I'm still here in the forum:).

Is there any similar application like that for Windows Mobile?

That would be awesome!

If not, then it's a pity ... Our PDA hardware is much more powerful compared to Nintendo DSi.

Thank you for updating S2P!!! It is a great concept with a couple of major drawbacks.... but I think you have fixed most of them with this update! I am a big fan of your software!

UPDATE: it works great on my Touch Pro 2. However, pressing "more" next to artists/songs/etc cause my phone to freeze up.

Also a major reccomendation for a future feature would be to alphabetize the list when the music is being selected. I can never find any of my songs: and I wish I could because I would like to use S2P as my music player.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrmyth:
Weird. I'm using Salling Media Sync w/iTunes and my playlists come out in m3u.

After a bit of Googling, I found out its because I once installed Kinoma Play on my Fuze- that left a 'Kinoma' folder on my storage card, with a database from when Kinoma scanned my library. Salling checks for Kinoma and if its there, outputs playlists in m3u instead of asx.

Might be a roundabout way of getting m3u, but it'll work until S2P is updated.

Not yet.

More details please.

ASX will be supported. (Actually, it's already coded.)

It'll be fixed. Thanks for the report.

It's on purpose to pause S2P once the BT headset is disconnected. Maybe I'll add an option to disable it.

You've missed a few graphic files. Make sure you have installed S2P through the original CAB file.

Read the README's setting & try different value for AlbumLayout.

I would be interesetd in this too ! It would be nice to have a registry value you can set so that S2P stops to remap your buttons.

When the player is opened and the display is off I dont have a chance to goto next song by just pressing a button. I wrote a script to do that when the player is minimized. But when the player is opened I have no chance to map this script to the specific HardwareButton.
