wanna ask, can i use my diamond as a 3g / hsdpa devices on my laptop? thru normal maxis 3g, coz i subscribe rm99 package. thanks.

btw. new rom not flash yet?

Go to programs > Internet Sharing.

then all we have to do is just connect the ppc to desktop pc?

Yes ....choose what connection type between Diamond and pc...usb / bluetooth, and choose maxis internet then tap 'Connect' on the left softkey after that just connect your diamond to your desktop.

Thanks Baronic. Do we need to upgrade our ROM? I'm planning to install a few software like currency converter, thesaurus/dictionary, age of empires to my TD.. do u suggest that i upgrade the ROM first or just play around with the device first.

About the GPS thingy, I download the step by step text. which I found in this thread but after reading it, its kinda complicated . Because i've read in the text that I need to get the GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_42030w.exe which is where to download it? plus I understand that TD doesn't comes with storage card, is it okay to save in the internal memory? Can any sifus guide me on this gps thingy, at least i can make use of my device rather than just receiving, making calls.

After reading through the whole thread.. now makes me think should i give up my nokia and go for this HTC.... seems like alot of problem?

those problems in TD all can be fixed by newer software, coz most of them is the ROM tweaking problems, still too new.. So the real problems is give HTC some time more to improve TD..

i think it depends. as a happy diamond owner, i would recommend the phone but only to savvy smartphone type users. if you're looking for a simple phone to use then the diamond is probably not for you - not quite yet anyway.

but in saying that, the cool factor of the phone is phenomenal. everyone in my office wants to have a play, even my boss who came from the UK. they are very impressed with the form factor and the boat load of features packed in.

also the bugs with the current ROM shouldn't be a deal breaker. i would suggest that you go take a look at a real model, have a play with touch flo 3D and then read all the bugs that we've found. then you can easily make your decision.

now that i've had the diamond for 2 weeks, and it has lost its initial novelty appeal, how do i like it? i still love it, except for the finger print smudges and that it sometimes doesn't wakeup properly during calls/smses and the memory leak (reset!). but do i think it was worth it to shell out more than RM2500 for it? hell ya! TF3D, the browser and GPS alone makes up for all the minor bugs!

just my 2 cents...

Added on June 18, 2008, 4:02 pmDiamond comes with a built-in 4Gig storage card... the point here it that it is built-in, but it is still storage. and you can get the garmin software from the garmin website. just do a search...

Latest version is GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_42050w.exe which i tested and installed in my diamond 4gb storage without any problem. Regarding where to download GarminMobileXT i think you have to do some search in google here is not the right place to discuss.

I see.. well i've used iphone for quite sometime, before jumping to nokia , because i needed the 3g phone call. As you all know (iphone lauching soon), i was really turned off by the iphone lacking of front camera to make 3g calls... my only choice now is HTC.. Why.. i needed something pack.. i can jot down all my to-do-list, meetings, entertainments.. and able to sync with my laptop easily.. so i suppose this is the choice for now.. I know theres alot of other similar phones that can do this.. but the look of diamonds really turns me .. urm.. just say its good looking. hehe

Secondly.. any Mac user here? Any problem syncing with mac?

you can try missing sync to sync with your mac...

forgot to mention the high-res screen as a very cool feature. can you imagine that less than 15 years ago, desktop PCs came with less resolution!

Thanks.. maybe i should give this phone a try.

dude..i'm a mac user too..i'm using missing sync version 4.3 on my mac...it worked like a charm...

Great.. cheers...

thanks lester. i know what u trying to tell me. anyway, can i PM u, incase i encounter some difficulties with regards to installing the GPS?
