Touch diamond wifi problem

Speaking of the headphones, these are decent, and can be used for both music and phone calls. This is good, as this phone uses a proprietary connector. In order to allow you to store a good number of multimedia files, the Diamond comes with 4 GB of built-in storage. This makes moving files onto or off of your desktop or laptop a breeze.

American users need to be aware of. You can still use the current one for voice and the 2. In addition to its cellular capabilities, the Diamond has Wi-Fi, so you can connect to a HotSpot to download files even more quickly than you can with a 3G connection. This smartphone also has Bluetooth, so you can use you wireless headset of hands-free car kit with it.

The cameras on cell phones are convenient, but are generally fairly poor quality. Fortunately, they are slowly getting better, and the one in the Diamond is a good example of this.

At the higher resolution these look nice. Check out Example 2 below for an idea of what this camera can do at its best. User Hostile Stylus. That said, there are some cool things about the stylus. Pulling it out of its slot will automatically turn the Diamond on, for example.

HTC Touch Diamond vs. HTC Touch view large image. I can tell you that I have no complaints about the battery life with my setup. I regularly get two or three days of use on a single charge.

To the target market, having a phone that fits easily in a pocket is more important that many hours of continuous use. People looking to step up from a regular phone to a much more feature-rich one should seriously consider this device. HTC has clearly put many hours of thought into how to make a smartphone more intuitive, and this device shows it.

As cool as the Touch Diamond is, and it is very cool, those who are looking for a high-end for business device should look elsewhere. This is an upcoming model for professionals, with better landscape support, a hardware keyboard, memory card slot, and more. Not hot to the touch, but noticeably warm. The GPS also gets the device toasty. We assume the CPU is located at the back below the battery the warm area.

Oddly, one time the phone got toasty with no applications running when in standby on the desk. We rebooted the phone and temps went back to normal. The Diamond has an integrated GPS that really wow-ed us. It's one of the fastest in terms of satellite acquisition and it managed to lock onto 8 satellites indoors 10 feet from a window on the first story of a 2 story brick house.

Very nice, and also much more impressive than the original Diamond. The smartphone has a Quick GPS applet that downloads satellite data to speed up acquisition time and in our tests, we got a cold fix in under 15 seconds which is remarkable. Sprint Navigation, powered by TeleNav, is pre-installed. It's a very strong navigation and mapping application that downloads maps and POI data over the air.

It gives clear directions and the Diamond's speaker is loud enough to be heard in a car. Windows Live Search is also pre-installed, and it's a great free mapping and POI application that's perfect for finding chow, gas or a movie nearby. What if you don't want to use Sprint Navigation?

No problem. The Diamond is a high end Windows Mobile Professional 6. Only 43 megs are available of that flash ROM, but no big deal since the Diamond has an internal 4 gig flash drive to store programs and data.

The phone lacks a microSD card slot, so you can't further expand storage. The Diamond's fast USB 2. The Sprint Diamond has WiFi A for fast data. Reception is good, with average reception compared to other Sprint phones. Opera 9. It works in a similar fashion to the iPhone browser, minus the multi-touch gesture support.

You'll first see the entire web page with text that's generally too small to read, and then drag the page to the portion you wish to read and tap on it to zoom in. IE Mobile is here if you're nostalgic for a reasonably fast but not terribly attractive view of the web, and there's an RSS reader too.

Like the original Diamond, the back cover has a plastic window that sits above the actual camera lens, protecting it, but also possibly leading to some image distortion. Image quality is very good as long as there's decent available light since the phone lacks a flash. It can handle well lit indoor shots quite well thanks to the lens' large max aperture, but don't expect night club shots to come out.

The orientation sensor can get flaky and our sample images were taken while holding the phone in landscape orientation that's the default orientation for the camera application.

Yet, as you'll see if you view the full size originals, the images are incorrectly saved in portrait orientation the cat's nose is pointing due south. At the default setting, images are over-sharpened, which is sometimes pleasing but at other times not so nice. In our sample photos. It's by no means horrid, but you may want to adjust camera settings to tone down sharpening.

Video is decent, though not as impressive as still shots. These sample photos were taken at the highest resolution. Click on a photo to see a larger version in a new window. That's a more appropriate capacity for a high end phone with a fast CPU and many wireless radios than the mAh battery used in the unlocked GSM version. Battery life is par for the course among high end Windows Mobile phones and we averaged 1.

In reply to Elrendhel's post on August 14, I got the same problem and I've got a solution. I could connect to my wifi DSL router.

I could update the "Weather", and in Google Maps I could see the aerial view of my town. There was obviously some downloads going on from the internet But always blank pages in Opera and IE So what was going on?!

I've tried most of the advice I could find on internet, like putting the energy mode to Better Performance, but still nothing. Then I noticed that Opera was working properly when connected to my laptop itself connected to internet. This made me though of a proxy setting issue.
