New ROM converts HTC Touch Diamond to a Quad Band Phone

htc-touch-diamond New ROM converts HTC Touch Diamond to a Quad Band Phone

Despite of the fact that HTC Touch Diamond is a tri-band phone, it has everything else that a power mobile phone user will want. Four times the resolution of any comparable size phone, TouchFlo, GPS , 3.2 MP camera and 4GB internal memory.

The only problem this phone had was, missing an 850 band which is used here in the U.S by AT&T. Those users who have imported this phone to US from other parts of the world have a reason to become extremely happy now.

An updated Radio ROM (V100.25.05) leaked by XDA-Developers hackers manages to activate the hidden 850Mhz radio, allowing GSM and EDGE connectivity to work on all the GSM networks in USA. Unfortunately there is still no support for US 3G, but one is left only to wonder whether this is very far behind, seeing how HTC is planning to release the HTC Touch Diamond on the Australian Telstra network, which uses the same 3G bands as AT&T.
