Unimpressive battery life
The 2.8-inch touch screen

Sluggish interface performance

Very poor battery life
TouchFLO 3D runs slowly and is not always well integrated with Windows Mobile
Good voice quality. Gorgeous, ultra-slim design. High resolution VGA screen and interface graphics. Takes sharp, detailed photos.
Buggy. Poor battery life. Lacks 3G support. No memory card slot. TouchFLO interface is balky. Awful speakerphone.

The HTC Touch Diamond is a nice phone with a better camera than the 3iPhone 3G and other extras that will help make it a good rival, as long as HTC is able to spread its new Taiwan price of £50 to other parts of the world....
Abstract: The Diamond has been with me now for about two weeks and I have reached a verdict: Fail. I had very high hopes for the Diamond; I wanted it to wipe the smile off Apple’s face, and be a proper competitor to the unstoppable iPhone. But alas it isn&rs...
