Speaking of Skype, this is cool, upgrade your iPod Touch to being a phone!

Oh really!?
It must need a plug in hardware thingummy I guess, like the headphones-with-mic pictured?

Oh dear, this is pretty sad not cool
Why spend that much on an Touch and turn it into an "IP phone" when you could quite simply have got an iPhone instead?

Cos iPhones suck?
Mainly cos of the stupidly expensive BT deals admittedly...
Actually, I would personally just buy one of the very many iPhone-alikes about now, they seem to address all the iPhones failings (like lack of decent camera, video, picture messaging, memory etc)

Oh sure don't get me wrong
I'm actually anti apple, the mighty marketing machine can sell yellow snow to Eskimos.
I have a Touch Diamond, suits me just fine, without oozing pretentiousness.

Me too. I'm very impressed with it in all honesty.
Though sometimes it can be sluggish but that's easily fixed by closing any running apps.
AND I believe I've found out how to get album art on the in built mp3 player rather than using Windows media player. I did it by accident the other day so I'm trying it with other albums to see if it works, right now.

Yeah it has it's moments where it decides to be slow,
but at least it's not trying to be something it's not. Extremely functional and all that.
How'd you get the album art working out of interest? mp3tag let's you set album art and from what I remember that works okay.

My Touch Diamond has gone back.
The most annoying, slow, buggy phone I've ever had the displeasure of using.
TouchFLO kept crashing, the battery would go from 100% to 25% after sending a text, if you're texting someone and accidentally hit the call button it deleted the entire message thread and then called the person you were sending the text to. MMS's crashed the phone, my router crashed the phone, stereo bluetooth never worked, the screen orientation took nanoseconds to go from portrait to landscape, but nearly a minute to go back to portrait again. The camera had an orange tint on every photo and it even called the emergency services on its own.
HTC never intend to release a fix for my version of the phone either, so T-Mobile have swapped it out for me

I think you'll find there are plenty of updates available. If you got it on Orange/T-Mobile is as old as the hills and if you upgrade to the latest from HTC it's much more stable.

I've not experienced any of those problems you've had there though, even on the original one. It may even have been a hardware issue.

I swapped the phone in the first week of having it
to check it wasn't a hardware issue.
A cooked ROM isn't the real solution, and the patches on HTC's website wouldn't run on it as there isn't an official update yet.
I'm sorry but having to patch the phone myself whilst running the risk of fragging the thing and having no warranty isn't my idea of fun, nor is it my idea of a decent phone.
Fuck it, i'm using a G1 now and I'm converted.

Also,
What's the point of a phone whose front-end interface works great using your fingers, only for you then to have to open a bog standard winmo window that's so behind the times and tiny that even the stylus has fucking trouble operating it.
