HTC is quite keen to keep its devices up to date and fix many (if not all) of the bugs reported. Lately, we caught them releasing a hotfix update for their all-touchscreen Touch Diamond2 that removes the “Start Recording” function during a call. The problem is that this function exists only in Menu, but during…

It’s not everyday you see a Windows Mobile smartphone running a Linux-based mobile operating system. But, in the crazy (crazy cool, that is) world of handset hackery, anything is possible. So, it shouldn’t be all that surprising that Android hackers have ported Android OS to the HTC Touch Diamond (Diamond) and HTC Touch Pro (Raphael).…
