Oh yeah...to download tweaks on XDA developers forum...you have to join the group. its easy, and free. then you're in. Programs are "Diamond Tweak" and and "Diamond TF3D Config" Also download "GSen" as mentioned here at the end of the review on this site.
Another thing...the battery IS ABYSMAL...but you can get the extended battery 1350 as opposed to 900...makes phone a bit thicker but WAY better.
Good luck!

Have had the Diamond in Canada for two months on Rogers Network. No 3g....its not a North America phone. Don't know if this can be switched on, but I knew this when I bought the phone. Phone rocks. download tweaks from XDA developers forum (google HTC Touch Diamond Tweaks" - you'll find it.) The phone is very very fast now, way better than the one offered by Telus. Way.
Great features and tons of software out there available....like Nav4All...a free GPS software...gives not bad turn for turn directions...and speed and such...but google maps has better.....maps.
all else on phone rocks. HTC headsets suck...no carrying case sucks. all else awesome.
but why buy this for 500-600 bucks when you can wait for touch HD? I know I'm gonna get it. But the Diamond is a beautiful phone....after the tweaks.

thanos, 05 Nov 2008the battery is realy an issue (a big one). Well it might no... moreOf course that they don't mention the circumstances under which the test for the battery performance in stand-by was done, but in the worst case it shouldn't by that far from the advertised number. I can tell you how I did the test, and I'm sure that this is the correct way to test this at the customer side.
So, I first conducted several full battery cycles (complete charge then discharge). I also let it charging during a couple of nights. Then, w/o touching anything in the phone SW I simple let it stand-by mode. By default the phone connects to a 3G network with HSDPA enabled. If 3G is not available it connects to a 2G network. Now, about the signal strength, I'm sure that it was OK all the time because there is a 3G antenna next to the building that I live in. The room temperature was about 20deg C, which is quite good for the battery performance. If there is nothing mentioned about the circumstances under which the battery test was done, by me this means the conditions that have used.
OK, but instead of 396 hours it lasted about 72 hours. Then I thought that the battery is not OK and I tested it with other load, not the phone. The battery capacity is 900mAh, which means that at 20deg Celsius the battery should survive 20 hours at 45mA constant load current. So, I made the test and it turns out that the battery is almost OK as it survived a bit more than 19 hours. Please DO NOT try this test by yourself, except if you have the necessary knowledge and electronic equipment which are needed for it.
So what is the conclusion? The HTC phone is drawing too much current in stand-by mode!
Does anyone care to comment my biggest complain about that the phone is making calls by itself. Is there a fix for this issue available yet? I wrote to the HTC support center, but no answer almost a week already :(
Conclusion: is you intend to use this "phone" mainly and intensively as a phone, you should not by it. However if you care about all the stuff that is integrated in the small sized phone, then you might consider buying it.
Here are the disadvantages that are crucial for me:
* battery performance is far behind from the expected one
* the camera is w/o power LED, this means no pictures in the dark. Besides this 3.2Mp are not good enough for the demanding users.
* there is no pouch in the standard package, which is a must as it protects the nice phone;
