I dont think it was delayed for a hardware upgrade, but a rom upgrade. A new ROM was released with the new batch of sim-free UK phones. I assume the operators are now working with this batch to process and test them.

@ daz

How responsive have you found the touchscreen qwerty?

Do you know if theres a way to get wm homescreen plugins into the touch flo 3d home screen? Say when the time is minimised?

Daz- you're right I meant ROM. I'd assume everything is more or less ready and is going through branding/packaging.

I dont use the qwerty, in fact, I'm trying to get used to the WM handwriting recognition. I have to say, SE's is much better. However, the keyboard seems good enough, needs use of a stylus though. HTC have implemented a number of differing keyboards to use though, so am sure most people's needs are satisfied.




As far as I'm aware it's NOT possible if you have TF3D enabled. You can however disable TF3D if you need your home plugins.


I've just installed a new cooked ROM from xda-dev forums. Will see if it improves speed at all, although, I've not found it to be a problem.

Cheers,
Daz.

@ daz

Do you satisfy with the camera quality in Diamond? How about the vibration and ringtones, are they loud enough?

thanx

Hi

I've had my diamond since 7 days and I'm absolutely impressed with it. After installing new rom, it's reaaally fast and easy to use.

The only bad points at the time are:

- battery: not as good as my P1i, but in the end it lasts 24h (flight mode during night) with moderate/high usage (10min calls + sms + 10min GPS on tomtom7 + 4h connected to wifi at home + 3 mailboxes scheduled every 15min switching between HSDPA/Edge + 4h of music/radio at work + lots of manipulations as it's new for me)

- RAM: only 55mb available at the start, but I haven't had any freezes at the moment. Hopefully it will be improved

For your questions:
- qwerty is needs a little concentration to use with finger, but there's a new tweak which allows landscape mode in every app (sms/mail/office...) by holding the call key, so you have the landscape keyboard everytime and it's really easy to use like that
- photos quality: better scharpness/contrasts than P1i, but not as good as K850's photos in this forum.

The sound quality is not so good, it's the same as the P1i with the crappy headseat that comes in the box.

But i'm planning to buy this:


and put my 3.5mm HPM-75 "earings" (sry i don't know the word in english) in that remote, and i think the sound quality will be as good as SE.

About typing, I don't think I'll be ever able to type as fast as my P1i, but it's really easy most of the time. It's much more difficult (impossible?) when you're walking or driving though... But to send sms /short mails/ web surfing, it's really enough, and the big screen / thinness of the phone really worth it for me.

does it have missed call/sms LED indicator like p1

Is it possible to scroll thru music list with the circular navigation around the wheel (i mean if u directly want to get to artist name say w.......). u have to swipe .. swipe to get to to w.......I saw that there is no scroll bar in media player?or can u use hardware button to scroll up or down the list ?

1- There's no "led", but 4 hidden white leds that form a thin white circle around the center button, that animates according to the notification: make circles clockwise, anticlockwise etc...

2- No, the circle sensitive wheel doesn't activate in that case, but you can slide your finger "iphone-like" to scroll down very fast in artists list (edit: and yes you can use the hardware buttons also)
