Re: Diamond Reviews

Ok, I have used this Diamond a day.

The screen is unbelievable. My other phone, the touch, was one with a bad screen, and I really didn't know how much better this would be, it blew me away.

The wifi is quick, and gets very quick connections.

The radio gets just as good reception as my vogue did with the update. I have had no problem so far with reception.

The Bluetooth is very weak. If my headset, Motorola S9, isn't within 6 to 8 inches it will be choppy and sometimes won't even play.

The accelerometer is amazing, it is responsive and the game teeter makes very good use of this.

In order to get music to show album art I had to use a tag editor and jump through like five hoops, still some albums show and some don't. On some albums, some songs show and some don't.

I had the Internal Storage problem and found a fix which I posted in that thread, but I am just waiting until that stupid thing happens again.

As soon as I got it I hard reset thanks to a post from someone who said it made the GPS responsive, I forget who posted. I guess he was right, because I get locks within 5 seconds inside with Igo8.

I also had the internet problem, so I went to start, settings, update profile, and somehow it worked. Thanks to Malatesta for that info.

This phone is unbelievably responsive, it has yet to get sluggish, and with as many as 7 apps open I have yet to get above 50% memory usage. I really like that part, as I like to run a few apps at a time.

I had a few texts, 2 phone calls, used wifi for about an hour, stereo bluetooth for about 30 minutes, and a few other things, and my battery was low at 1pm, starting at about 7AM playing music. I am going to need another battery no question.

TouchFlo 3D is really something to behold in person on this screen. The only problem is when I am using it I just end up in regular windows mobile after a while. It actually hides it a little better than I expected though.

I think MP3 Trimmer is busted. While it seems to work, when I set it to a ringtone it starts about 5 seconds before I chose, so I end up with some chorus and some verse. Its weird and people stare at me. haha...

Youtube app is pretty sweet, I think they did a great job with this. Also I can confirm Flashlite 3.1 working for me on the Opera that comes standard. The zoom feature on this is also unbelievable. In the internet, to zoom, you just move your finger around the circle that is above the enter button. Clockwise to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out. This is one of the coolest features I didn't know about that I have found.

The camera is actually a little better than I expected. I have taken a few pics, but not kept any or I would post some. I think there is actually a thread about this somewhere. While I would like for the camera to have a flash, I can live without.

The charger it comes with plugs into the wall and you have to use the USB cable to get to the phone from there. It cuts down clutter, but it is just a little short. It also comes with its own screen protector, which I couldn't find because I never open the cd it comes with, haha...

All in all, to be honest, I love the phone. I want a fix for the bluetooth. I want a fix for the internal storage. I will have to find a battery from somewhere, I heard from another thread, that boxwave has some, but they are a little over $30. I would really like it if the Album art was a little easier to incorporate into touchflo, I wish Mp3 Trimmer worked as planned, and I wish the camera had a flash. I knew about the flash going in, so I can't gripe.

It is leaps and bounds better than my old vogue, and I really can't believe how much better the screen actually is.
