HTC Touch and Android - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
Apologies if I'm in the wrong place (again).. I'm trying to buy a new phone and would love to run an android port on it. I'm currently looking at Sprint - at the HTC Touch Diamond ($199 after rebate etc) or the HTC Touch Pro ($299.. less desirable) the sprint site doesn't mention a querty keypad for the Touch Diamond.. Is it fair to assume the Touch Diamond is not a good candidate for android - or is there a touch screen keyboard now?
I'm really sorry if this post is off topic.. I've been all over the intertubes trying to find a good smartphone that will effectively run an android port (I'm well aware its under heavy development) that will atleast make phone calls (or should be able to soon). If the Touch Diamond won't work - can someone recommend a different phone?
Thanks,
Keith

Well seeing as the HTC magic and Hero are both non qwerty it would be safe to assume that there is an on board virtual keyboard.

Yes I do google - a lot.
If you read the last sentence of the first paragraph - you would notice I'm referring specifically to the android port.. I got my phone already, thanks.

Help : 8/16 GB Diamond .. WM7??

1.Does diamond support Windows mobile 7 ?
2.Do U Think htc will release 8/16 GB Diamond?
what a random question. thres no evicence for either, but i doubt the storage upgrade. theyve done that with the advantage a year on, and everyone thinks its a waste of money.
but wm7, if its not officail, id guess the cooks will port it
Rory
I wouldn't rule out the storage upgrade. If HTC want the Touch Diamond to compete with the iPhone, they will have to do storage upgrades. Also, because I'm buying it, you know a better version is going to be released - it's my bad luck. (My Touch is a good example).
This may be a silly question but has anyone actually opened up their Diamond to see if it is possible to increase the Storage Memory? eg could it be possible to add/swap out the 4GB for more?

The "S" are proportional to how happy I am...less "S" means "less happy"
I also have upgraded my ROM, only the signature isn't actualized
Regarding WM7...only with the help of a crystal ball...

If you make a search on this forum (not only in Diamond section), you would see, that I've done a big share of contributions, namely on the Trinity ...
So, next time, instead of bragging, make a search first, and don't feed these non-sense threads...
HastaSSSS
There is evidence for WM7, just knowing M$, whatever we know now will be completely different from what is released, and it'll be released two years late...
I suspect HTC will release newer versions with more storage, but there is no evidence for that ATM.
isnt the touch pro basically the diamond with upgrades and sd slot for up to 64gb (so far)?
if any wm device is upgradeable, the diamond is a sure fire even if not officially supported

finally a decent response to my question. Now who has taken a look under the hood of their Diamond to see for eaxmple where on the board the 4GB memory chip is and how accessible it is. Is there any space under the cover to connect up another memory card...
The Touch Pro is too big and I don't need a keyboard. The only thing stopping me from getting a Diamond right now is the 4GB memory...

SDHC only supports up to 32gb... they'll come out with a new standard for 64gb chips I bet.

Stock Exchange app to HTC Touch Diamond

Hello!
Anyone know if there is a Stock exchange application on the Touch Diamond?
Just like the one in the IPhone.

Im getting used to that response. Theres simply nothing new these days that works WITH the Diamonds VGA screen rather than against it.
Im seriously beginning to wonder why I bought a Diamond.

Okay so whats the solution for the stock exchange app then? There isnt one.
There are no damn apps being developed anymore for WM especially on high end VGA devices.
I too would like a decent stock exch app.. if im moaning over nothing, point me in the right direction and i'd gladly shut up
Well it wasn't a good app.I better just wait for a better app to come a long.

I can only see about 1/2 of the cells vertically. I guess it only works if you reduce your text size in windows... but then the phone itsn't finger friendly anymore.
yes,i also have that problem.
Try this:

I used on my Kaiser and use in my Diamond...
Works perfect.
It has only one issue...
SOmetimes, when you starts the program, there is a fade on the screen... But you have only to press the power button twice and the programs goes well...
Would be great if HTC Home has a tab for stock exchange and share price update. HTC did it for weather, why stop there. Stock price should be next.
Yes,i agree. Hopfully a application that will work perfectly with the TouchFLO 3D.
Stock App Think Anywhare
I use Think Anywhere from Think Or Swim, its pretty cool, but is more than just quotes, Its a whole trading platform. Need subscription, but no deposit requiredment. You can do Paper trading with it.

Ok,il think i going to try it out.
Check out this video: http://tests.magnus.de/mobile/artikel/exklusiv-video-htc-touch-hd.html
It's the new Touch HD with HTC's Stock Market Tab in manilla! Who will be the first to port it on diamond?
Wow,that one looks really great. Hope somone can make it to the Diamond

Nexus on the kaiser

is it possible to get the Nexus One operating system to run as HaRET on the Kaiser?

The Nexus One runs Android 2.1 with some custom UI stuff made by HTC(/Google?). Technically the answer to your question is "yes".
If you are asking "Can the Kaiser duplicate the exact same look and feel as the Nexus One?" the answer is No.
YMMV but in my experience there are some really good Kaiser android builds in the forum here. They may not have animated wallpapers, voice search, fully functional bluetooth or camera, but very impressive for the Kaiser.
Thanks
thanks i will have a look but can anyone suggest one that has the the feel of the Nexus One because i don't no whether to buy one
Thanks
Zac

If you have the option , buy one. Running Eclair on your Kaiser will not give any kind of indication at all , how the Nexus One will be. The Kaiser has a smaller screen less than half the processor speed, and will only boot from inside WM.
You will probably learn more by watching you tube videos of the Nexus One than by running 2.1 on your Kaiser.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Like others state theoretically possible but spec wise the Kaiser does not cut the mustard.
There are some new versions of 2.1 that alredy has animation working and voice search and camera the only thing different from the nexus one is the menu
Got the Nexus
i got the nexus one now it's great but I'm not gonna change any software on it because i just want to see what the actual phone software on it is like.

That is an easy equation
Google + HTC = crap
Google + HTC + XDA = fast, smooth, no bloatware, useable
WRONG

no it's actually really good not slow at all and i will cusimize it once i just see what it can do without any off that because i have no doubt xda will make it a lot better.

I don't think this would work under Andriod tbh. Even if it did it isn't *true* multi-touch, it's not really what you'd expect at the moment, I think it will get better though, but because Andriod is difrent from WinMo I highly doubt it would work for it... Correct me if I'm wrong.
multi touch is coded into the application and resistive touch screens can do multi touch but the sdk that was released on xda is for multi touch on wm6.x

its not true multitouch, better call it dualtouch. when touching the screen with two fingers, the device reports the coordinates in the middle of these two touch spots.
with a sudden change of coordinates an app can guess you are using two fingers, so it can calculate the second touch spot using some math voodoo.
so simply said, its not important if you use windows mobile or android, its important your app supports dualtouch by itself!

mmh, seems my english is not that perfect to understand what you try to tell you. i didnt want to correct you, instead i wanted to clarify whats behind the technology of dualtouch. btw multitouch means more then two fingers

Multi-touch impleis more than one. (Multiple)
Dual touch specifies only Two (2) touches, Tri-touch would specify three (3) touches. So Multi-touch is correct.
From Thefreedictionary.com
mul·ti·ple (mlt-pl)
adj.
Having, relating to, or consisting of more than one individual, element, part, or other component; manifold.
hehe multitouch doesnt even work on the hero properly never mind on a resistive touch screen!!
