The HTC Touch Diamond for Sprint offers better performance and supports Sprints EV-DO Rev. A network and multimedia services. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also features the cool TouchFlo interface and has integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
While performance is greatly improved over the unlocked Touch Diamond, theres still some sluggishness. The virtual keyboard is cramped and may give some users problems. The Touch Diamond also doesnt offer an expansion slot.

If compared in isolation to 2007s Touch, the Touch Diamond would be a resounding success; outside of accessible storage and the questionable directional pad, it represents an upgrade in virtually every category. The Diamond is the first Touch phone, i...
