HTC Touch Diamond soft keyboard comes to other WinMo phones

by Nilay Patel, posted May 13th 2008 at 10:44PM

We weren't too thrilled with the Touch Diamond's resistive touchscreen when we got a chance to play with HTC's new hotness, but if you're envious of that updated soft keyboard, you're in luck: the Diamond's ROMs have already been pulled apart and the .cab files are just a click away. Installation is said to be slow and you'll have to jump through some hoops to switch the default language from Italian, but things will eventually work out for you -- although we doubt anyone's going to be nearly as impressed as if you had a real Touch Diamond.

keep in mind, many have said that trying to uninstall this thing could be lots of trouble. Some people have complained that they were not able to remove it. It took me about 15-20 minutes I think.

not a huge deal to remove it. I mean, if you enjoy hard resetting your phone, lol

Works great on my vzw 6800, installed with no issues at all! Just had to go into input settings and change to english.

I wonder how this fairs against Touchpal 3.0.
