This phone has all one may need.

Consumerism feeds itself on keeping us permanently unsatisfied and greedy for more.
* Remember, "(I can't get no) Satisfaction, by The Rolling Stones ?*

The key is being free and having the choice and the means to afford a new phone if you feel like it.
Everyone should have that.

Me? I'm very pleased with my Diamond2 and - for the time being - I feel I actually do not need a new phone.

I dig my D2... a lot! =)

I love this masterpiece.
I use it daily and it has never failed on me. The Diamond 2 is a phone that stands the test of time and delivers everything you may need.
I fully and strongly recommend it as it is the best phone I've ever owned.

The Diamond 2 is capable of running Android. It just takes some time:

Google for information and videos:

Then get ready for some action:

there are plenty of sites with the sftware and instructions to choose from.

It's really only a question of choosing the process of upgrading and the Android version you prefer.

The Diamond 2 is a great phone that still has a lot of potential and that can handle a new OS (such as Android) without any problems.

Good Luck with your phone!

> In reply to Busi @ 2012-01-09 10:30 from NHUD - click to readWhatever your Operating System, you must be really careful with every single app or game you install.
Check EVERY definition and avoid every unsolicited / unwanted / pre-scheduled updating.

More than that, get a free and small application called NoData which will block any unwanted connection request from your installed apps and games.

Anyway, check Comm Manager on your phone: Only "TELEPHONE" must be on (green colour). Don't switch on WLAN, Bluetooth, Microsoft Direct-Push or Data Connection, all those cost MORE money.

Whenever you get the chance, and only then, connect your phone (via USB) to a computer with Internet access and ONLY THEN update all your applications and games, if you feel you need it.
For instance, if you've got weather forecast applications, it's always better to do update them manually whenever you have a free WiFi or wired Internet connection (from your home computer, for example) and then disconnect them immediately after updating whatever you want to.
That's why setting the app for Manual Updating ONLY is useful and wise.

That way, your phone will remain completely functional throughout your working day, your costs will be those you expect and even your battery life will last longer.

NoData is a very useful programme that may 'save' you when you forget to block undesired connections.
Here is its link:

http://windows.modaco.com/topi...lity-nodata/

Just install it in your phone, run its .cab and there you have it, no more bad surprises!

A word of advice, though: you must always read the permissions that any programme grants itself by default really carefully .
Things are getting to a point when you're no longer master of your phone and it's the programmes you install that actually run your phone's connections, although, at the end of the day, you'll always be the one paying the bill!

> In reply to yogesh @ 2011-12-28 00:23 from vwYi - click to readYes, the Diamond 2 is supports JAVA games and browsing (via J2ME).

You can google for a WebViewer that supports JAVA and install it.

Anyway, check if you have an updated (custom?) ROM, then you probably won't need to install any add-on and it is already there! =)

Here's a GREAT site for starting any searches related to the GREAT Diamond2:

> In reply to Pavel @ 2011-12-22 08:15 from PBjE - click to readTo change language in any WM phone, you'll need to change the ROM.

There are plenty of tutorials on the Internet, try to google to find the method / ROM you prefer.

Anyway, there are sites that may help you... A LOT:

http://forum.xda-developers.co...ay.php?f=484

http://forum.xda-developers.co...php?t=401966

As you may see, it is possible to change ths phone's OS (from WM to Android, if you wish) and OS Language.

That's one of the reasons of the Diamond's 2 worldwide success.

But don't forget this is the best value-for-money you can find at the present.
Light, handy and capable of performing in every way you want it to.
Don't you just love it?

Actually, this phone is a "Jack-Of-All-Trades"!
It performs brilliantly: it allows you to enjoy video, music, games, WiFi, GPS and all current comodities whilst being affordable and very friendly-sized.
It's what every HANDY should be!

> In reply to funky @ 2011-12-13 23:27 from 2G40 - click to readWhen you start your camera, touch anywhere on the screen NOT taking a photo.

You then get three icons at the bottom:
(Left to Right):
Gallery - to see all your photos and videos
Camera - to select capture modes and definitions
Jagged Wheel - Definitions
Clicking on the wheel, you'll see "MENU" on the screen.
Now, press "Advanced" (bottom right).

You'll now see Advanced Menu 1/5.
Click on the > symbol and on menu 2/5 you'll see there is the option "Storage".

Problem solved: Just click until you get "Memory Card" and select it.

From now on, you'll be saving all your videos and photos on your memory card as you'll be able to see on Windows Mobile Device Center's Explorer.

Photos will be stored inside the "DCIM" Folder that will be created on your memory card.

This phone is a must!
A True Classic.

* Noticed how SE have made a "clone" of the Diamond 2 with their flagship phone the "Nozomi"??? *
The design is basically a copy of the D2:
the resemblances are...
stunningly obvious! ;)
