Video review of Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Here are links for an extensive walk through. It is in Polish, but 1 FLV is worth 1000 TXT.

They're really good. It's a shame that the comentary is on Polish, but at least the phone is in English. Very in-depth.

Agree, I saw these quite a while ago, it’s a review of a prototype phone though so keep that in mind while going through the vids.

Nice find..
its funny listening to it because you can hear the expressions and make out some words, but not actually understand what he's saying (being in polish).

hehe. i understand every word. nothing special is said though.
oh forgot to say... he did say something about US 3g....

oh? What does he say?
I guess the main problem is it only does band I (2100) and band VIII (900) for 3G. Thats not alot of use for the guys in US.
I think AT&T and cingular use band II (1900) and band V (850), so your not going to get any 3G there with the european version of the handset. T-Mobile are using band (IV) 1700, so your not going to get any 3G there either.

Okay some key things to translate
He encounters problems with the scroll on the raido, does not function too well.
There is no camera hard button.
The Video Conference Camera is really good quality.
Flipping over the device during a call will silence the call.
screen automatically turns off during a call and will go back on if there is activity(stylus)
He says nothing about US 3G, the phone he is using a demo pre-release. Just talks about the fluff in the HTC Diamond, nothing more.

The PHONE

I’m really confused as to why there is not a huge outcry by Kaiser users regarding dropped calls and complaints from people on the other end indicating voice drop outs.
Is this limited to certain areas only? It happens to me regularly here in south Florida. The voice drop out issue is fairly serious to me. I have read only a few posts regarding this issue.
Should this issue be raised a little louder to the powers that be? The Kaiser is a phone after all and conversations should be a no brainer for any phone!
Anyone else?
Thanks.
Joe
I have never had any of the problems you speak of here in south carolina.
Have you installed the bluetooth fix available from HTC to deal with 'dropped calls' problem?
Works fine for that here in the UK too...
I had the same problem but only when I was calling with my g/f, then I realize that my girls phone is damaged and my keiser is ok.
So in Europe its fine
I live in Tampa and haven't had any issues. ROM and radio version issues, perhaps?
I am in Chicago and I don't have any of those problems, you must be in a bad cell area.
Are you on bluetooth? are you using speaker phone? or does it always happen? are you talking to people on same network?
As far as reception, dropped calls, and audio quality; the Tilt is probably the best phone I've ever used. I remember when I first got it, people would ask if I had a new phone. Just about everyone commented that it sounded great on their end.
BTW, I'm in the DFW, Tx area.
I'm in UK, but have also used my Kaiser in France, Germany and Romania - all ok. Maybe you've flashed a ROM and not selected the right radio.
If you've flashed a ROM check here for which radio is correct.
Been using my phone in Thailand and India, without any problems so far relating to the Signal and call drops.
The signal is actually better with the Tytn II than my previous P3300.

Ummmm, because simply because this is happening to you doesn't mean that it is happening to everyone else?
Frankly, it sounds like a geographic issue.

Well, it certainly is not happening only to me but I guess it is not as wide spread as I ASSumed it was. I definitely recall reading others with similar issues but....
Maybe it is just at&t’s network in south Florida. Had these issues with 3 different Kaisers.
Joe
I'm at work now (I work at an AT&T store) and I'm looking at the internal coverage map. Florida has decent coverage overall but it is admittedly weaker in the southern areas (Pretty much everything south of Tampa). There are good spots but it's mostly "moderate" coverage. This basically means that your phone will work in the open but there are no promises indoors or in cars. Hope this clears things up a bit.
No problems of the sort here in New Orleans, La. I believe i had one hiccup on a call and dropped it once when it switched from 3G to Edge.
You might want to try a new ROM and radio. I do some business in Miami and forgot that I had the Tilt the last time I was there. Think I was using Alex's UC then (Dutty's v2 Medium now) and had no problems - both via the phone itself and bluetooth. Good luck.

Is front camera on Tytn II worth it over Tilt?

I'm having a difficult time deciding if I should buy the Htc Tytn II (Kaiser) for the front camera, or just get the cheaper ATT Tilt.
Is the front camera worth it now or is it going to be benificial within the next 2 years for the USA?
If no, i'm just going to settle for the ATT Tilt.
Help please guys.
Well you have to ask yourself, how many people you know that have a 3g phone with a camera on the front of it as well?
Agree with above. How many people do you know that you could video call? Go with the Tilt - 100%. Love mine.

tilt all the way
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Tilt....
I just had to be different.
EDIT: But when people ask you if its an iPhone, because I get that a lot, tell them its a Kaiser.
Do you really enjoy looking at yourself? If so, a front camera is quite suited for that.
Well i have 3000 minutes of video calls a month on my contract (Helsinki Finland, operator Saunalahti).
I also thought about getting a Tilt, but just couldnt, after thinking that i have the free video calls. Not a big suprise i have made only one video call, actually only two in last two years, to test it out.
My plan has everything covered with the video calls: 3000 min of regular calls, 3000 sms, unlimited mms and unlimited data, but i still say the video calls are pretty useless unless you need them for some specific reason.
Btw. this plan here 49,95€ a month 24 month contract. + Have to take a mandatory 3G phone, price's start from 3€ a month ... The phone can be sold straight...

Not bad, what ive been reading here... On the other hand, everything else cost here way too much...
I use the front camera for a mirror, sometimes for quick video responses too. works great!
i've only used the front camera to capture video clips or pics. It's a lot easier when you see how much of an ass you look while filming...
with new roms being cooked, and the various methods to sim unlock available, the tilt would be a more price conscious decision. the 2 year contract and the potential for a higher rate data plan might be an issue though.
imho, the tilt looks a bit tacky compared to the tytn ii, but to each his own. I bought my kaiser a bit before the tilt was released so i didn't have the option, but i would still take the tytn ii over the tilt. I figure if i'm going to spend money on something, i should like it in every way, inside and out.
Here in the UK, video calling has been available for years, and subsidised (aka free) 3G phones with front cameras are commonplace. Despite this, hardly anyone ever video calls, and apart from a brief test in the pub, I've never used the front camera on my V1615 (Vodafone branded Tytn II) in the last three months.
Video calling is one of those technological answers without a question - it's clever, but nobody really wants to use it.
i have the tytn ii just cuz i dont want the att stuff...i want the htc branded hahaha i know it sounds gay but yea also i use the front cam for like mirror n such...and i believe the keypad looks much better on the tytn than the tilt
Video calling is a great business tool. Also really good when you are a service engineer talking someone through a fix.
Same as most things, the operators thought people would love this function and pay loadsa money to use it.
Used it once for a personal call....
Just waiting for the video conferencing vid&voip packages to come out myself (WM 6.1 has it) then it will cost virtually nothing and you will be able to use it with PC/laptop users.

That's what I was wondering if it could one day in the USA be used as a webcam type with pc/laptop users. So, you're saying WM 6.1, will make this possible? even in the USA?

Well it is already in the newest base core CE and the whispers I had were that it was going to be in WM 6.1 Pro when it is (eventually) released. I should imagine it will be incorporated into Windows live like the old Windows Netmeeting.

Frontside camera upgrade from tilt

Does anyone break and open the actual case hardware of AT&T Tilit and see the frontside camera existed. I am thinking whether any way to upgrade my Tilt to Kaiser in hardware basis.. Thanks.
Its a different hardware revision. At the very least, it will require purchasing the front camera (expensive) and a new case, then some very delicate soldering. If you need the camera so bad, get an HTC branded Kaiser. Its $750, but thats probably less than you will spend trying to convert a Tilt. Plus, if you have a Tilt, it probably means you are using AT&T in the USA. AT&T doesn't support video calling, so the front camera will be useless (which is why they didn't bother having it on the Tilt).
I don't know about the Kaiser, but for the Hermes, there were several people that had the AT&T 8525, purchased the front camera online (as well as the Tytn case) and opened up their devices, plugged the camera in and covered with the new case which has the front camera cut out and it worked.
So, if the 8525 accepted the camera as plug and play, i'd suggest the tilt to do so aswell..
heres the full housing for the Tytn II (has front camera cut out)

and i guess you'll have to wait till some site starts selling the camera

They used to on the "blue" side about 4 years ago. My AT&T Wireless branded Motorola A845 has a front camera and a special send key for video calling. I'm suprised that they haven't implemented it yet, considering before the ATT/Cingular merger ATT offered the service in limited markets.
-Jay
at&t does support it. It's called video share. It's expensive 1 hour of video 10 dollars a month
Video share is only one way.. not 2 ways like normal video calling.
whats funny is AT&T got the one with the forward facing camera (as well as the one without it, and the one with no cameras) approved by the FCC. I was hoping they would release the one with the forward facing camera and debut 2-way video calling... i still think they're planning on it, maybe after they're done upgrade their 3g network which its planned for end of '08
Front Camera for web cam.

Video Calling is OK.
But removing the camera is just a way to make us update our Tilts to a newer one with front side camera (when they want us to).
They could have leave it so we can use it as a web cam. And when they want offer the video conference calling.

Use as a web cam is specifically prohibited in the AT&T service agreement, so they would not leave something there for you to use for that purpose.
-Jay
They wont have it anytime soon, because we don't have important enough calls here in the USA to use it. They will have it soon but not this year, maybe in 2010 when almost all people have high end phones that arent crap.
Is it me, or is the USA behind on europe in these sort of things?
I live in the netherlands, and we've had 2-way videocalling for over 2 years now. Still not everybody has such a phone, but it can be used.
I'm not sure what the costs are, but it won't be anywhere near the 10 dollars someone mentioned here.
Also the 3G network mentioned, according to wikipedia this is an advanced GPRS network?
People here are using a mixture of 3g and UMTS networks for watching TV on their mobile phones, guess that's something which isn't available in the US either?
I had a small scratch on the front of my tilt after owning it one day. I replaced the front with a unbranded one (no At&t logo). It looks better, and I noticed that the appears to have a socket for the camera. There is a foam insert in it from the factory. If anyone has found a site that sells the front camera let me know, or if someone can confirm that this works.
My question is why would you want video calling? I don't see the thrill.

Also, theres software that will enable a cell phones camera fr use as a webcam ( via USB , Bluetooth, Or Wifi) tethered to a desktop. I dont think this is against the policies of the Cellular carrier because you can still use your landline for the connection . Would be nice to have it on the front of the screen in case you plan on using the phone while youre using it as a webcam . . . . . . . .

The US is behind many countries on many things. Quite frankly our government will probably have us behind what we consider "third world countries" in some things before we make it to 2010, heh.

Where did you buy it from in Australia?
walshieau, can you check on your phone the GSM and UMTS bands supports?
The (pre-release) device on the coolsmartphone review shows it seems to support all 5 UMTS bands I wonder if thats just because its a test build (and doesnt have the antennas) and if thats true in the final release one.
I guess its really important to know for all the US guys. This may actually be the best phone that works on t-mobile in the USA.
I'd say it's a configuration problem on the test build, but life is pretty gloomy without hope.
Me too, i cant see them putting in an antenna that can handle all those frequencies without compramising on reception. But hey i'm in the UK and i dont care that much
Wooo...Me too.
Maybe HTC have sort of given up on America, because that's the iPhone's home turf, so to speak.
ive never been without signal on any phone, that i can remember, except at the jjb stadium on sunday the 11th of may, might have been cell overload from all the united fans calling chelsea fans and laughing
Hehe. I can often get a signal in the Emirates Stadium, but the networks are still overloaded sometimes.
In random places in Ireland, such as the Castlegregory perninsula, the signal can get a bit dodgy. I think the only network that perninsula has is Vodafone.
For big events like concerts etc they bring in picocells to add capacity. I dont know if they bother for football games.
Basically a cell can handle a limited number of calls (the exact number depends on how many frequencies they use of that cell). So to increase call capacity per sq mile, they just use more cells but make them smaller. That works for densly populated events like football games, concerts etc, where you can have cells that cover only 10 meters.
In fact all along oxford street you have these piconodes every 10 meters or so to handle the capacity!
Anyway.. getting reception != being able to make a call. The cell may be too overloaded to make calls, but it should still let you register if no better alternative cell is available. The amount of cell phones that would need to be on the cell to overload to a point it can't let you register is huge.
So if you don't have reception that generally means there isnt a strong enough signal.
wow, i was just trying to be funny... and relive one of the best days of my life... but it was on my p1i and i think it was on 3g only. and i dont think theres a need for 3g in wigan..
lol
just thought you might be interested

is it gay T&T, or htc, or is it windows mobile, or is it the qualcomm chipset???

let me start of by saying that thanks to everyone that has left, inquired about or done something on this site to help others in customizing their phones beyond what is normally acceptable. and to the women of the men that have to deal with the guys tinkering around with their phones all day and ignoring you. lol. that being said, i have a few questions that i think after searching this website for almost a year i dont think anyone has targetted. as the title states, what do you think it is. is it possible for 3g devices just to not hold a connection to a tower, even with 3g turned off? i drop calls constantly and i dont mean a dropped call, i mean my phone just looses connection with the tower. 3rd fuze, so many different roms lata, still the same thing. now let me also inform you that i live in a part of town where there really is no coverage inside my house and i accept that fact. but even when i'm sitting outside my house, my phone will go from 2 bars to zero and the bluetooth in my ear keeps beeping till the stupid phone finds the stupid network. now talk about frustration. i have tried an Iphone, i have tried blackberries, i have tried symbian, basically i have tried anything that gay t&t can throw at me in terms of hardware and mind you these handsets are not cheap, i have the same issue in the same spots. i also live in one of the biggest markets in N America for wireless service and using the official coverage viewer, i am currently in a "great" 3g area. this area being the wonderful metroplex of dfw. now after doing some research and lots n lots of playing around with windows phones (going on 5 years) and finding out the downfalls of windows mobile, i am completely willing to accept those downfalls and still wanna use it on a day to day basis. hands down there isn't another OS as open to doing what you want, having the information you want in a efficient way. call me a fanboy but windows still has a hand up in the game even though it still looks like crap and the big 800 pound gorilla that is MS isn't willing to conform to anyone else's standard and make their OS look pretty. its about functionality and to the smart user thats where its at. i have also read a lot on qualcomm and this issue of drivers and performance and how devices that are almost pre historic are running better emulators, videos and the such without any luck on getting performance on the device. okay now that i have written a novel and most of you will be asleep by the time you read this, i need some honest opinions. really what i'm trying to do is figure out where to point the finger. or maybe by having enough ppl ***** about the same problem we might have someone look into better technology that is not only practical but is also reliable. not just one of the two.
thanks to all that got this far. lol

surely if your getting the same issue on completely different devices then it is a network issue in your area?
it maybe worth a look at getting a pay as you go sim from another network and trying that to see if you get the same issue.

I have similar AT&Tcoverage issues in my house, but when I have a strong signal, the phone works fine. No dropped calls or lost connections.
If you like the TouchPro, you may want to try Verizon. You can sign-up and have 30 days to cancel if the coverage is not good. One difference between AT&T & Verizon is that AT&T will support simultaneous voice and data connections where Verizon will not. This is why I chose AT&T, but my coverage is so spotty in Charlotte, I wish I had gone with Verizon. The simultaneous feature seemed important, but in practice, I am not sure I have ever needed it.
The only other challenge with Verizon is that you have to use their phone. You cannot get your own and drop in a SIM card. This limits your ability to waste time and money chasing the latest and greatest hardware which is kind of a bummer.
Good Luck.

Maybe you can test this... dissassembly your oldest device... phone or whatever symbian, iphone whatever!!! every device gots the anthenna like a green ribbon inside the phone housing, if the phone's MotherBoard has a contact conector try to unplug the ribbon from the housing then connect it and see where does the phone gets the signal strenght enough as you wish, see all around maybe there is a big metal structure or big building and far repetition anthenas or behind.
As you must know
b.t.w i work in wireless so plz dont respond back with your an idiot blah blah blah, i deal with enough customers that are like that on a daily basis.

In some parts of the country has great signal or bad signal streght because of many natural things, like magnetism, surface, and weather.
Ask to your neightbor if he gets the same issue on his phone... dude... get out of there if the device lost completly the signal.

One difference between AT&T & Verizon is that AT&T will support simultaneous voice and data connections where Verizon will not.

Actually I'm pretty sure Verizon will also support simultaneous voice and data connections. I also regrett picking at&t because coverage is so much better where I live (charlotte as well) but then I think about how verizon tends to cripple their phones and the whole locked to cdma carriers thing. For example when the vz touch pro first came out, the gps was locked to only their gps software so no tom tom or google maps and they also cut the ram down to 192.
I think its just your area
sorry bout the post in the wrong place n thank you for moving it. for you that couldn't understand what this post was about, this was really an attempt to c if anyone else is having these problems. are they due to technology limitations or am i just expecting too much.

hahaha....read my friend read.
Ril --- surely if your getting the same issue on completely different devices then it is a network issue in your area? it maybe worth a look at getting a pay as you go sim from another network and trying that to see if you get the same issue.---

thank u for splitting up my points. this is probably why my english grades were never betta than a C. as far as ur point on network issues. definately a good possiblity although at&t techs have been in the area to test connections and coverage with no luck.
we use a code with agent plans that gives the "network support team" a msg saying there is an issue with a specific tower. waiting on getting this code and sending them a bunch of "*#" requests. lol.
dwmackay ---If you like the TouchPro, you may want to try Verizon. You can sign-up and have 30 days to cancel if the coverage is not good

i wouldn't consider verizon cuz of the cdma thing. i know i know, call me picky but i do travel internationally (not that much) but still. and there is no way i wanna pay roaming charges to fill the pockets of some big wig.

i wasn't the one i said i was "super-knowledge" about wireless, you did. All i was stating was that i "work" in wireless. not sure how that makes me a wireless genius but okay. i like someone tooting my horn. haha. and disconnecting and connecting my antenna cables is a little too much for a casual user to mess with. do you think i can tell that to a customer that i just sold a fuze too. they would laugh in my face. but on ur request i will try this process just to c if i'm wrong.

So as you work in wireless, the meaning of "i think its yours" is like this...

Stay cool dude if you ask for something read too... in just tellin you that you may live in an area with issues on signal... agian... ask to your neighbor maybe he gots the signal strenght low.
Oh yeap, I just laugh on faces when the question is wrong applied and sounds so bad, bad enough to think that person is a jerk, but if you ask correctly your answer always comes clearly.
keep it up dude!
okay let me respond to that ppc.
i'm sorry if i came across as rude. wasn't my intent, i was just telling you what you had said.
and yes i have tried having three different carriers,(at&t, t-mobile n verizon) numerous different phones and in and around my house i'm just getting horrible service. matter of fact, the only i have not tried is sprint, and again due to the limitations of that network i just rather not go there. i can't just up and move out of my house and having cell phone coverage is HIGHLY important. guess i'll just have to wait on the femto cells at&t is promising before the end of the year...
