Diamond TF3D Config adds the TouchFLO 3D configurability HTC forgot

As slick as TouchFLO 3D looks on the Touch Diamond (especially on that VGA display), users don't have much capability to fiddle with the way it looks and acts out of the box, and for the anal among us, that can be a huge hassle. A member of German forum PPC-Welt is doing what he can to ease the pain, though, releasing a "Diamond TF3D Config" utility for changing the order and visibility of tabs and modifying the way the date is displayed on the home screen. Not a huge deal by any means, but it's a step in the right direction -- and let's be honest, it's something dead simple that HTC should've had the forethought to include up front.

He's a member on xda-devs, cough, since he posted this on XDA-Devs 2 days before whatever this site is above.

I was about to say if this was not on XDA-dev site first there must be something wrong.

I wonder if by hiding some of these tabs it reduces the lag I've seen in videos and read about in reviews when switching between tabs. If anyone's lucky enough to have the Diamond and installed this utility, I'd love to hear if you've noticed a performance difference. Hopefully the US carriers will make this a standard feature. Also hope developers can add their own tabs (sports, sling, etc.).

For all the crap WinMo gets, there's no denying the development community around it. Within weeks of the Diamond launch and this fix is already out there. With the iPhone the developer would have to be accepted into the developer forum and get the utility approved by apple before allowing it to go on the store (not counting the year between the iPhone launch and application store launch). The Diamond or Touch Pro will definitely be my next phone.

I've seen very little to no lag on the Touch Diamond. It's more of being able to adapt the the swipes of the phone and getting used to the UI. The review of it two days ago showed no lag to the reviewers even if some users have said that it does lag. Once you've become used to the UI, it's a breeze.

I still think it should have had an expandable SD slot. I know it comes with 4GB but the option to expand should have been included, especially considering that it will be a pricey phone.

I'll still take it though.

i might be completely stupid, but could someone explain me where i should download this utility: on my phone? in which file? and how to apply and start it? how to execute it etc etc etc....
thanks...
