I wonder if that would work.
I have a mobile PNA TomTom Device in my Car with a 12V (input) Charger. I realized that the PNA can also be charged by pluging it into the USB interface of my computer. The Jack is also a miniUSB. So the charger plug has the same connector. Am I right to assume that the Diamond has to be charged by a 5V (USB current) miniUSB interface?
So it may be possible to charge the Diamond with exactely the same charger from my TomTom device?

I donīt have the current output of the PNA charging device in mind but i assume that it also has to be 5V?
Is there a possibility that both connectors are differently wired? Or is the miniUSB of both standardized?

i dont have your tom tom device, but there are two standards. 6v and 5v. Make sure you check properly

The charging device from my TomTom has an output of 5V so i assume the pin occupation is the same and i can use it to charge my Diamond (to come).

Just to make some of you guys happy. You CAN actually use the TomTom car charging device to charge your Diamond.

Plug fits and power output is exactely the same as the original HTC car charger!

For me it saved spending 20€.
