Ok, time for the obvious question (and given what thread this is in)... if it can do tf3d, does it mean that it supports opengl es hw also?
I had a search around and couldnt see any info.
(btw, doesn't this use a MSM7500A at 528mhz instead of a MSM7500 at 400mhz?)

One thing for sure, Verizon cut the RAM in half. This is because of the fact that internal memory is signifigantly less with the external SD slot available.

This is a comment from cnet:

As we mentioned in the Features section, the RAM size does have an effect on general performance. The Touch Diamond could be quite sluggish, tripping over simple things like navigating the TouchFlo interface, viewing missed calls, or creating a new e-mail message. There was also one occasion where the smartphone kept exiting out of Outlook when we were simply trying to open an e-mail. While we never experienced any major crashes or reboots during our review period, the delays got to be frustrating and more noticeable than other smartphones we've tested.

Personally, if this ROM has anything to help speed up our Vogues.....great. I think i'll stick with M2D though. It is much faster, i'd rather use the openGL / D3D for games and hopefully eventually video playback. I've side tested a diamond (Bell version with full specs) with my Vogue. The Vogue with M2D was way faster at accessing information. A dumbed down diamond, or trying to run m3d on the Vogue?? Probably slower and frustrating like the above article states. I'm able to impress coworkers who own diamonds with the speed of my Vogue. Don't want a step backwords in function.

ummm, idk....if Vogue is so muc faster, then it would be faster with TF3D

No luck for a stock VZW diamond ROM Soo far going to keep google searching

**Whosdaman** · #55 (**permalink**) 05-12-2009, 09:34 PM

I am just gonna have to keep searching. Or find somebody with the phone and ask them to dump it. I know somebody besides me was asking for a stock vzw rom. So lets see tomorrow what happens

Hi,

Any luck with the ROM? Also, do you think that it may be possible to enable opengl es (or d3d) using dll's from it?

Cheers,

Nope no luck anywhere. I might get a VZW Diamond myself to keep this p.j moving.
