HTC Touch Diamond2<\/p><\/div>\n

The HTC Touch Diamond2<\/a> has changed considerably\u00a0compared to the original HTC Touch Diamond<\/a>, so if you’re upgrading to the Touch Diamond2 not all of your accessories are going to work with it. Although the handset has put on a bit of weight, it’s mostly for the better as the screen is now a much more user friendly 3.2″ compared to 2.8″ on the original Touch Diamond, the camera resolution has been increased, and it’s finally got support for memory cards.<\/p>\n

The Touch Diamond 2 is one of a few handsets that will support Windows Mobile 6.5, the all new operating system from Microsoft that aims to be more ‘finger friendly’ and give the iPhone a run for it’s money.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got the Touch Diamond2, you’re going to want to make the most of all of it’s features, and to do that you’ll need to invest in a few extra accessories, so to help you find the best ones, I’ve compiled my list of the top 10 accessories for the \u00a0HTC Touch Diamond2.
<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>FlexiShield Skin For The HTC Touch Diamond2<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not one for leather cases, or you want a case that is a bit more practical then a FlexiShield Skin will probably suit you better. FlexiShield Skins for the HTC Touch Diamond2 are thicker and tougher than standard Silicone Cases and will certainly give your phone more bounce if you drop it! It has a non slip feel to it and covers all of the back of the handset, leaving the camera free for you to take your photos. The FlexiShield doesn’t cover the screen though, so you’ll need to buy a Touch Diamond2 screen protector<\/a> to prevent your screen from getting scratched.<\/p>\n

The last thing you\u2019re going to want to do the the screen of your new phone is scratch it. Martin Fields screen protectors are the best quality screen protectors you can get for your Touch Diamond2. They\u2019re precision cut to size and can be removed easily and leave no residue behind.

5. <\/strong>SanDisk Micro SDHC Card – 16GB<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Using a SanDisk 16GB Memory Card will allow you to store even more music, games, photos and videos on your Touch Diamond2. Images taken using the 5MP Camera will take up more space, so more memory is a must. A 16GB memory card will let you store over 6000 high quality photos, 3000 songs or 80 hours of video. A 16GB card is the largest memory card that is currently available.<\/p>\n

7. <\/strong>Jawbone Prime Bluetooth Headset<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

One of the best Windows Smartphones deserves one of the best Bluetooth Headsets and that’s exactly what the Jawbone Prime is. It uses a \u2018voice activity sensor\u2019 to help make your voice stand out. This sensor sits on your cheek and picks up vibrations as you speak. It then uses this information with the sounds picked up from the two microphones to eliminate almost all background noise. The\u00a0Jawbone Prime \u00a0adds multipoint and it doesn\u2019t rely on the voice sensor making contact with your face like previous models do. The Prime has been improved so that you still get excellent results even when the headset isn\u2019t touching you. When it is making contact it gives the noise reduction a boost, improving the audio quality further. Jawbone Prime are available in a wider range of colours too. Named \u2018Ear Candy\u2019 the Jawbone Prime is available in Black, White, Yellow, Brown, Red, Green & Purple.<\/p>\n

8. <\/strong>Jabra Halo Stereo Bluetooth Headset<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Jabra Halo Stereo Bluetooth Headset is the latest stereo headset to be released, and to be honest its probably the best one yet. It has incredibly simple controls \u2013 a touch sensitive slider on the right ear lets you adjust the volume by sliding your finger up or down, where as a double tap will skip the track. One multi use button lets you play\/pause your music as well as answer\/end calls and activate voice dialling. When they\u2019re not in use, the headphones fold away so as not to take up too much space and to reduce the chance of them getting damaged. If you want to know more take a look at my Jabra Halo hands on review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. <\/strong>Brodit Passive Holder with Tilt Swivel<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Brodit Holders are phone-specific cradles that will hold your HTC Touch Diamond2 securely in the car and have cut outs that allow you to charge your phone while it\u2019s in the holder. They are made from a strong ABS plastic and are designed to be screwed onto your dashboard, although if you don\u2019t fancy doing this you can use a Brodit ProClip<\/a>. These are secure mounting pads that clip on to your dashboard and can be removed without causing any damage to your vehicle. ProClips provide an ideal base for fixing a Brodit holder on to.<\/p>\n

10. <\/strong>Parrot MKi9000 Bluetooth Car Kit<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Parrot have always made fantastic car kits and the Mki range are no exception. There are three options available, the MKi9000, Mki9100 and the Mki9200. The main differences between them being the display screen that comes with them. I\u2019ve chosen the MKi9000 as the best one for the HTC Touch Diamond2 as you don\u2019t need an external screen as well as the 3.2″ screen on the phone. You can play music from your phone through the MKi9000 using Bluetooth. The Mki9000 will synchronise with your phone book, and supports voice dialling. There is also a small remote that you can attach to your dash or steering wheel to control your music. Regular software updates that improve compatibility with your phone are available free of charge from the Parrot website.<\/p>\n
