SetSIP - Changing SIP (software keyboard) type is both cumbersome (that small finger unfriendly arrow near the SIP icon) and slow (the selection menu does not pop up for a noticeable time). Worse on Topaz (Diamond 2) the menu has 2 levels: one for selecting between Touch Input full QWERTY and Phone Keypad and one for selecting other SIP types. SetSIP allows to change the SIP, including the two Touch Input layouts from a shortcut.
SetSIP was developed for HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) with WM6.1 and requires Compact Framework 2 or above. It should work on many other phones but the test is up to you. Touch Input layouts selection make sense only on phones with Touch Input / EzInput.

Other Software by developer «Mauro Venturini»:
GPS Receiver Reset Utility GPS Receiver Reset Utility - Sometimes GPS receivers (at least my Hamlet HBTGPS20) stop working correctely (no or unstable fix). Hamlet advice is to reset it using a desktop Windows program that they provide. Unfortunately, this requires a BT enabled desktop or laptop PC. Very unpractical indeed!
This small utility can be used to reset GPS receivers

AutoLight AutoLight - HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) auto adjust backlight function is a good idea with a not very good implementation. It must be said to HTC excuse that the light sensor is very noisy, especially at low light conditions.
Some alternatives do exist but are not very good or are Compact Framework application (not a very good idea for background application)

URL2Opera URL2Opera - As strange it might be OperaL.exe does not accept a .url file as command line parameter. Therefore, it is not possible to simply associate .url files to Opera and open them with it.

Install
Run URL2Opera.cab
AutoAudioRoute AutoAudioRoute - At last VOIP works decently on many Windows Mobile 6.1 phones and it can be accessed using the standard dialer/phone application. The only problem is the sound trough the speakerphone instead of the earpiece
