You’re going to have to shell out some cold, hard cash to get HTC’s upcoming HTC Touch Diamond2 smartphone in your pocket, but you can get some of the Diamond2′s software goodies without spending a single dime. The updated Diamond-successor sports nothing less than a 5-megapixel camera (with autofocus), GPS, WiFi, and 3G data connectivity. And then there’s the gorgeously high-res 3.2-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen and touch-sensitive zoom bar. For some, the cost to upgrade to a Diamond2 is worth the upgraded feature-set. For others, a nice little software upgrade should suffice.
The HTC Touch Diamond2′s updated TouchFLO 3D UI includes a lot of new applications and a few tweaks that promise to deliver an even better user experience than did the original Diamond. Thankfully, the apps have been ported to the Diamond via a bunch of ripped .cab files.
Diamond owners need simply download and install a few CAB files to inject some of the Diamond2′s TouchFLO-essence into the already-aging Touch Diamond (the mobile world moves fast, don’t it?). The following apps have been ported from the Diamond2 to the Diamond:
