I've got my eye on the Touch Pro - Looks like it could be really nice.

But my main focus is currently on this: http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1/

I do so love SE phones :-) though it looks a bit large!

that phone looks hot as hell

when is this phone being released?

I do like its back, but i wish it wasnt a fingerprint magnet. The whole phone is.

At the end i find myself using the stylus most of the time to avoid fingerprints, lol.

I have Spit on my keyboard :p .... Is it me or does it look a bit like the Zune.

Indeed...

I want this phone :| lol, it's either this or the iPhone, but to get decent free minutes/texts you have to pay far too much... This gets 600 mins and unlimited texts for ?35 (in UK from Vodafone/Orange)

I like the phones design, love the back:oo and flashing a new firmware doesn't bother me at all, when my contract now runs out, I'll be running to get this phone:))

Good review, thanks.

I was looking at the Touch Diamond last week on Orange .. thankfully Orange haven't butchered the menus with their awful icons so far .. noticed no camera button or memory card slot but I suppose it has 4gb so that's not so bad (for now)

Still looking at alternatives though ... including the MWG Atom which is a lot cheaper.

For those who thanked me, you are welcome.

Im very happy with my Diamond actually, ive managed to get full control of it. Even the battery life is good now.

Ive disabled some options i dont used often, like the 3G which i found ou it was comsuming alot of my bat. Only enable it when going online.

Plus the Swift ROM at XDA forum is damn fast.

The guys over there are already working on to make Android compatible with the Diamond, cant wait ofr that.

Nice. Can you post a photo of the keypad when typing a text message. Thanks.

Diamond is a touch phone to it has no keypad... Unless you're asking him to show you the Windows Mobile 6.1 Dialer or Dialer Skin HTC has on it?

If you're looking for a keyboard you need to think about the Touch Pro, which isn't making me smile lately.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
