For people who are envious of the HTC Touch Diamond’s keyboard, this will be good news, as people have gone through the Diamond’s ROMs and have extracted the .cab files.

Installation is said to be slow, and there will be some twists and turns, especially switching the default language from Italian, but if things finally work out, users should be able to have the new keyboard on their Windows Mobile devices. Having said that, some people will probably find it less of a hassle to just purchase the new HTC Touch Diamond, for the full effect.

Accessories nowadays seem to be just that-accessories. Aside from Apple, most manufacturers don’t seem to put much thought into the design of their accessories. HTC has taken a leaf out of Apple’s book this time though, and designed a beautiful cradle for the HTC Touch Diamond.

The cradle sticks closely to the Diamond’s style, and has a piano black finish, and is very sleek. The cradle and Diamond go hand in hand, as they look made for each other. Having said that, all looks and no functionality would be a waste of time, this cradle doesn’t disappoint. It features a 3.5mm jack which will allow the Touch Diamond to be connected to other audio devices and be used as a music player, as well as including the usual charging and USB data connection facilities.

No sooner has the HTC Touch Diamond been launched, the people at the FCC have got their hands on it, and are checking it out. Apparantly its just a few approvals away from marketing, and at this rate, it should beat the 3G iPhone in terms of release dates.

The actual specifications of the HTC Touch Diamond are still unavailable from the FCC's site, but from the blueprint, its layout seems fairly neat and tidy, which is rarely a bad thing.

HTC unveiled the HTC Touch Diamond in London today. Featuring a Windows Mobile Operating System, as well as delivering an interesting user interface called Touch Flow 3D. The HTC Touch Diamond will be available in Europe and Asia this June, and later in the year, for the rest of the world.

Full specifications are listed as below:

HTC’s new Touch Diamond looks to have a specification fit for it’s Diamond name tag. Aside from its shiny black design, and diamond like curves, it has both WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity, and is powered by Windows Mobile 6 Professional. 4GB of internal flash memory is provided for users who like to snap photos with the 3.2 mega pixel autofocus camera.

Full specifications are listed below:

The Vodafone 1615 (also known as the HTC TyTN II) will be getting Windows Mobile 6.1 pretty soon, as it is currently being tested by Vodafone. Owners of the Vodafone 1615 will be able to receive the upgrade sometime at the end of this May, assuming all goes well in the testing phases. How much longer do you think other networks will follow suit with the Windows Mobile 6.1 after Vodafone rolls theirs out?

Alltel can boast in being the first carrier to provide the HTC Touch with EV-DO Rev. A upgrade, and this comes shortly after Sprint upgraded the HTC Mogul to Rev. A technology. This upgrade has been looked forward to for quite a while now since the HTC Touch and Mogul use the same chipset, so it doesn't take much to get them fitted with Rev. A support. Strangely enough, the GPS is not enabled in the Touch even though it is PS compatible. Other improvements that come with this upgrade include greater stability and connectivity, while the improved Bluetooth stack makes it so much easier to connect with other devices. You can download the new ROM here.

Here are some spyshots of upcoming HTC smartphones, with the first of the bunch being more interesting than the rest. It seems to come with a rather well-equipped QWERTY keyboard, boasting 3G capability (the front-facing camera gives the game away) and touch navigation controls. The same handset as the two on the right could be the same, save for the fact that it has been rotated and has an open keyboard. Could this be the rumored HTC Raphael (aka TyTN III)? Only time will tell, but good things always come to those who wait. No harm in starting to save up now, folks.

If you're a T-Mobile Wing owner, then take note. T-Mobile has begun to distribute free replacement batteries for the HTC Wing upon realizing that there are rare occurrences of the battery overheating. Well, I guess the next time your pants start to catch fire, it isn't because you just told a big fat lie, but due to the fact that the HTC Wing's battery has decided to give up the ghost and immolate itself. This battery replacement program is done free of charge, so prevention is better than cure here.

Sprint has released an upgrade for users of the HTC Mogul device which provides the phone with support for EV-DO Rev. A networking. The upgrade provides a boost in download speeds from 400Kbps to 700Kbps to 600Kbps to 1.4Mbps for the 13,453 cities and 1,321 airports which support the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network.

Issues with the HTC S730 started popping up across phone forums back in December. A memory bug has plagued users, which makes the device display that the phone only has 11 MB of storage left, even with no software added on, and displays a meager 5 MB available when the standard contacts and messaging apps are installed.
