Clinton Fitch just posted the third and final installment of his look at tweaks for the HTC Diamond and Touch Pro/Fuze devices.  The tweaks he talked about previously were all pretty straightforward, even for the uninitiated.  This latest article, however, looks at tweaks which require you to make changes to the registry.  Not for the faint of heart, for sure.  Before you check out Clinton’s well written article, don’t say we didn’t warn you that tweaking your registry can result in damage to your device (possibly requiring a hard reset).  With that warning in mind, head on over to Clinton Fitch and learn how to mute a call when the phone is placed face down, change your Internet tab, boost TouchFlo 3D performance, and plenty more.

The post is here: Tweaking Your HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Pro – Part 3

Clinton Fitch, our good friend and owner of Clinton Fitch(dot)com has been working on a series of posts which help you make your HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Pro work better for you.  In the first installment, he looked at the TouchFlo 3D configuration tool.  Now, in his second installment, Clinton takes you through a utility called DiamondTweak, which features over 20 tweaks for your device. 

After making it absolutely clear that you are using DiamondTweak and similar programs at your own risk, Clinton walks you through his top ten features in this app, including a battery meter, TCP/IP settings, and plenty more.  If you want to make your HTC Touch-based device work for you, check out the full article.

Now the HTC Diamond, is emerging in the states, sometime soon, it’s been available in Oz for a while through Telstra. So having had the opportunity to get some hands on time in Telstra’s new stores, that offer real, working devices to try out, I’m faithfully waiting for the Touch Pro to appear down under.

Comparatively, it has quite a small form factor, similair to the tilt, with the design nuances of the Diamond. The attraction I have for the Touch Pro is the hardware keyboard, and the specs of course.

Ryan Block over at Engadget has done a great gallery of photo’s that really show the sleek and stylish Touch Pro at it’s best , and the thing that stand’s out to me is it’s visual symmetry. It seems to be well proportioned, and to have the quality build of recent HTC devices.

You wont have to deal with that company that will remain unnamed, that has apparently ruined the iPhone experience north of the border. Looks like Telus, has got the drop on the HTC Touch Diamond on the side of the pond that’s not Europe. Although it’s a CDMA version, and you’ll have to sign up for a three year contract (Eek), if the Diamond is forever, for you, you’ll be migrating for sure.

If you’ve been following the news you’ll know it’s an awesomely speced WinMo device, It’s got a 528 MHz processor, ROM: 256 MB
RAM: 192 MB DDR SDRAM and WM 6.1, nothing to be sneezed at there right?

So how did Canada manage to wangle the first release of the Diamond?

I don’t know!
