HTC TOUCH DIAMOND BLog

[chanbri]

---

right now im playing around at installing one application at a time.

i noticed that installing SRS WOW surround sound was good but somehow i cant control the volume of my players using the volume buttons. so i uninstalled it. so now im just using the built in audio booster. its really very good when using the htc headset. I'm currently budgeting to get another headset that can accomodate a 3.5mm plug so i can have the flexiblility to connect my phone to my altec lansing speakers.

the htc diamond speakers is not as loud as i wanted it to be but a phone this thin. one cannot expect big speakers to be placed. good thing i set my phone to vibrate+ ring so I stil get to notice my phone ring specially in very noisy environment like at work or in the busy mrt stations. In my room i usually use the external speaker when playing a movie via tcpmp or from a youtube video.

got some new pics as i just bought a new cam yesterday.
shot by a fujifilm f100fd at full 12mp resolution but resized to 640x480 else i cant upload the pics

OT: my new toy: fuijfilm f100fd. Bought it as reviews are saying it performs better than the canon 860is.
It has 12mp super ccd. 28mm wide angle lens, up o 3200 iso. image stabilizer, multi-face detection and 5x optical zoom. Comes in black color as well but i like the silver type best.

cool review! i have a question though..
is it possible to sync this windows mobile device with a mac computer? like transferring files, etc..
if so, is it going to be difficult or is it really quick and simple?

[chanbri]

hmm.. i dont have an idea bout mac,bro. Have never owned any mac products though i find them nice, i hesitate because of compatibilities. so my review covers only what i have tried so far.

I just installed Pocket Heroes last week and been playing it alot lately. hehehe. really nice to have the Heroes game ported to ppc.

I hope they release more games making use of the built-in accelerometer.

The one I tested lag kaayo ang flipping of pics, how is on yours bai?

i just discovered this while exploring my phone today. in the album plugin. the softkeys will change to album and slideshow. i clicked on album. the htc album will open. the softkeys will change to albums and menu. Albums will show the folders in your phone/internalstorage which contains pics. Under menu you can find Slideshow, Set album as favorites, Delete items, Send, Save to contact, properties, Oprtions, and Help.

I go to menu>options
There's to check box(both are checked by default)
-Repeat
-Transition

Under transition you can customized these:
-Transition Type (Fade,Slide from Left,Slide from RIght, Blinds Horizontal, Blinds Vertical, and Checker Board)
-Duration (2sec,3sec,5sec,10sec)
-Orientation (Best Fit, Actual)

removing the check under Transition, disables those options. Also I disable transition and flipping between pics is definitely faster. So the thing that slows /lags the flipping for you was actually the 2sec transition, which is on by default.

The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile - Supported Devices
Shows a list of compatible devices. HTC Diamond wasnt among them but HTC TOuch Cruise, among others, is. So I'd assume its also compatible.

This isnt a freeware though. You can either be resourceful or be Rich and buy the software.

Note: I am by right not promoting any software, just giving you a sample that there's a software you can use to sync your winmo device to mac system.

Just an update, ang price sa touch diamond sa expansys hong kong similar na sa price sa tytnII, atlast, before overprice ra gyud tu mugawas mga 39k pesos. tsk tsk.

[chanbri]

Cool! that's definitely good news. even here, while the hype is still fresh, telcos are pushing the price down but with some fine print value added services coming with the plan. Its definitely selling fast and cheaper than the tytnII. but without contract, its stil priced a hundred dollars more than the kaiser.
