I am considering the purchase of a HTC Diamond and would like some advice from the forum if there is a battery upgrade from 900Ma/hr

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is a new ROM going to help a 900 Ma/hr battery last more than half a day with winmo 6.1 and a blazing fast processor?

You know what might actually be a deal breaker for me with their new qwerty phones & the Xperia? The side the d-pad is on when you slide out the keyboard. Though I love the 8125, I hated that particular aspect. I loved the 8525 & Tilt for this but I’m not liking HTC going back to the “old” design. Sadly this might push me to get an iPhone or SE C9050.

The original review was based on a pre-production unit. That is to say it was not ready for release. It is only natural that there are still issues to be sorte out. So come August when it is available in Australia Telstra and I will have this great phone.

that sluggishness was not due to wm, the hardware, or the acceleration. its just htc didnt fully finalize/optimize their touchflo 3d. its kinda like the original touchflo(cube animations etc..). it was no where near as fast as it got in later rom revisions. they can release something to the public now that works ok and make it run supper fast later or make you wait months till they make it super fast. watch how good it will get in say 2-3 more rom updates.

That sluggishness is what turns people away from winmo. A phone with a 500+ mHz processor should not be sluggish out of the box….

Good news indeed. Any perception of sluggishness is a potential deal killer.

Maybe if these phones packed a bit more punch then they wouldn’t have these issues. Or maybe WM6/6.1 are too much OS. I’m not bashing HTC or WM (I’m typing this on my Tilt) but the sluggishness can be frustrating.

Unless it has a bigger battery, this is a useless update…

What’s the version number of the ROM?

Good to hear. I’m impressed they were able to get the UI moving in the right direction.
