So it does! Thank you!

It's handy because even if you're visiting friends, most will have a USB cable that will fit so you don't have to worry about a charger

Yup. All recent HTC phones seem to be like that. The 'proprietary' bit is the extra pins to carry audio.

Oh, I've been doing some backgrounds for people on another forum as well as some for myself. If you want me to knock one up just give me a link to a pic or logo and I'll sort it out

I'm sure you get the idea with what I'll do

Heh, cool

If things go well I'm hoping to tie a Diamond up with one of these, so a tux one might be a nice touch (see what I did thar?)!

Mustn't get ahead of myself though. Not even sure I'll be in a position to get the phone anytime soon and Dell haven't even mentioned anything about pricing yet.

Wow cool Desmo!

I've been back in Blighty a few days and the data connection is still arsing about so I'm going to flash the phone with the ROM that Desmo posted.

Burble · 21-08-2008, 17:01

I've given up on the thing for now. For some reason it wouldn't connect to ActiveSync this morning so I had to hard reset it to get that working. Then I found a new Vodafone branded ROM so gave that a try but it still isn't right.

I'm connecting to the Exchange server over the air using a PPTP VPN and it doesn't want to bring up the VPN connection. ActiveSync (on the phone) keeps telling me 'waiting for network'

I'll have another go next week when I've got more time to play around.

I've had all sorts of trouble with PPTP on Windows Mobile - from Pocket PC 2003 through WM5 and still on WM6. I gave up, it just didnt work consistently.

Burble · 21-08-2008, 17:05

I had it working perfectly on my WM5 Samsung something or other and it seems it does work on this Diamond when I'm using WiFi but not with GRPS/UMTS which is far from ideal.

I'll give one of the other ROMs a bash next week and see if that makes any difference.
