To all happy users of the HTC Touch Diamond and other HTC smart devices:

This fall I went on vacation with my brand new Touch Diamond. It is a really great device. It amazes me how much technology is packed into this tiny phone! It is definetely a masterpiece. There is only one thing that really surprised me: Windows Mobile Remote Desktop Client (WMRDC) IS MISSING!

So I emailed with HTC-support back and forth to learn that it was simply not part of their HTC Rom image. I will spare all details: Microsoft has made Mobile Remote Desktop Client an optional component (see the Windows Mobile Version Comparison Matrix). Now it is up to the OEMs wether they include WMRDC or not.

Part of one of the answers I got from HTC’s mastersupport reads as following “… and I feel it unlikely that it (WMRDC) will be added to any future ROM releases unless there is massive complaints of end users – which we are not receiving.”

With all the hits I get on google instantly (>26,000 google) I cannot believe there aren’t many customers who would like to have WMRDC. So I decided to make it as easy as possible for everyone with a need of WMRDC to be heard.

If you think WMRDC would be useful for you, I suggest you best do two things:

1. leave a comment here. So everyone can see transparently how many users would like to have WMRDC on their HTC-device. Once there are enough comments I will aproach HTC again.

AND additionally

2. contact HTC directly using their support form (http://www.htc.com/www/CS_Mail.aspx).

Leave a comment to plead with HTC to include Windows Mobile Remote Desktop Client into Touch Diamond and all current ROMs. Let’s see wether we will be enough happy users of HTC devices to make them care!
