HTC Touch Diamond

The keyboard is for people like me who like to email on the fly and tend to type multipage sms's. really, i use it so much on my tytn, i can't imagine living without it on the diamond. that, and i kinda like having micro-sd capability, thank ye verra much
 
so i went to go and pick up my HTC diamond at MTN today, and after 2 weeks of browsing and emailing and speaking to mtn, they tell me I have to up my sub by over R100/month. yes. irritating. they initially told me the phone is free on a procall220 and then when i get to the desk they tell me i have to up my monthly payments. they can rot for all i care. this is the last straw with MTN, im now going to finish my contract and change to Vodacom. at least they dont lie!

Yeah right....Vodacom have to be the BIGGEST liars of all. Unfortunately it costs too much to cancel my three contracts with them. I cannot wait for the day I can leave Vodacom. THEY SUCK!!! and they lie profusely and continousloy take money etc from you.... DONT GO NEAR VODACOM.
 
I've never experienced a problem with Vodacom in the 7 years I've been with them. MTN on the other hand...words can't describe. Of course Cell C (and as a result Virgin) are out of the question due to their "network" that never gives you a signal.
 
Anyone interested in buying a touch diamond???

I got one on Saturday, and have since realized that Windows Mobile and myself are not the best of friends.

Its 3 days old.

R5500.

LOL. Nope. didn't drop it.

Its my first Win Mobile phone and after three frustrating days trying to get used to a stylus I've decided to call it a day.
 
mate you gona struggle selling at R5500....

go look at www.bidorbuy.co.za

brand new, unopened are even going for R4800

How can It be load with garmin software if it is still sealed? Also is this a gray import or not.....? And if he had chance to work on another diamond and did not like it why did he buy it in the first place.....?

Just a thought

The one on BidOrBuy is a different phone, not the one with the GPS software, and stuffs. Marzz says he had one for 3 days and now wants to sell it for R5.5K
 
I'd even be willing to trade for a Sony-Ericsson W890 or K660 and some extra $$. so make me an offer...

After trying to browse through my contacts this morning without the phone selecting and dialing a random person which i believe i didn't select (CANT THEY GET THE INTERFACE TO RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SWIPE AND A TAP???) I decided to put the sim back in my good old SE V600i...

Its not a grey import, i didn't drop it, and the phone works perfectly well... just not in the way I would like it to work. its a matter of personal preference.

Any Takers?

If you want to sell it, it is probably not a good idea to talk it down:rolleyes:
 
lol.

But dude, you prob best off selling it in person to somewhere where you live. It's too dangerous to pay that sum of money to some new guy on the forum with 4 posts. We just have no idea who you are, and if you a shark or not..

Good point hehe.. :) There's rumours going around that you can exchange the the phone within 7 days so I'll be trying my luck tomorrow morning with vodacom. Wish me.. urm.. luck...
 
Hey guys. I just sold my touch diamond and bought me a Nokia E71. MUCH BETTER!!!!!!
 
wazarmoto and greggpb what was it about the Diamond that you did not like? I'm interested in the touch pro but want to hear as much comments on the diamond before I finally decide. Thx

Crappy touch response, Same old windows mobile under the TouchFlo app. And without any applications open it shows that theres already 40% memory being used. Fingerprint magnet (not such a big issue but worth mentioning) Phonebook scrolling is a real bummer cos when u scroll too fast it keeps going down. Battery life really sucks. My E71 is like that duracell bunny. Keeps going. and i donno if everyone elses was doing this but mine used to get extremely hot when surfing or making calls.
 
Sounds pretty much like the same kind of issues i had with my stock TyTn. It will get hot if you leave it on HSDPA for extended data transfer, and the rest of the software issues i got sorted out with custom ROM software from XDA dev.
Touch Pro, here i come!

all phones get extremely hot when being used.
did your download the latest rom?
you can always tweak your phone to save battery. im getting 2-3days and using it normally.
its by far the best phone i have ever had and every day i like it more and more. Last night i put tomtom7 on it and now im navigating around cape town. lol. and is it slow????? no, not 1 bit. it was perfect.
