I've often been asked whether the HTC Touch Diamond phone can be charged using mini-A-Type USB connectors (second from left below).
You see, the HTC Touch Diamond comes with a proprietary HTC ExtUSB Cord - which has a slightly different shape.
The answer is - yes - the HTC can use regular mini-A type plugs, and you don't need to spend a fortune buying their proprietary cables. The HTC is backward compatible, and the extra connectors that are in the ExtUSB, are for using audio/video - such as their headphones.
I have been charging my own HTC Touch Diamond using regular mini-A cables, without any problem. I would say, though, that battery performance is dismal in this phone, but it may be due to the fact that all iphone competitors give low battery life.

thanks for the post - I wish I'd known when I bought their proprietary cable!
