Unimpressive battery life
The 2.8-inch touch screen
While compatible with HTC's TouchFLO interface (which lets you flick through screens or photos by swiping your fingertip) is still a fair way behind the iPhone's interface
And the touch sensitivity isn't as accurate...
Sluggish interface performance
Lack of flash on camera
Screen isn't as responsive as we would have liked
Very poor battery life
TouchFLO 3D runs slowly and is not always well integrated with Windows Mobile
Abstract: We haven’t touched on the Diamond’s GPS department in this installment, nor have we covered its accelerometer and the way it’s utilized it and the TouchFLO 3D user interface that is one of this phone’s main selling points. But rest assured we’ll get b...
Abstract: Just thought I’d post an update on my experience with the Diamond after using it as my main phone for the last few days. My first impressions report wasn’t particularly positive, and while some things have been slightly better with some tweaks...
The HTC Touch Diamond has a cool 3D interface and a beautiful touch screen. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.
The Touch Diamond is sluggish and call quality is subpar. The TouchFLO interface has a bit of a learning curve, and theres no expansion slot.
The HTC Touch Diamond offers much in the way of sex appeal and flash, and its certainly got a formidable feature set. However, we hope HTC resolves some of the performance issues we experienced before the smartphone is released in the States. Specific...
Highest resolution of any touchscreen phone, Sleek overall design, Built-in accelerometer, Integrated GPS, Good Opera browser and YouTube application
Very expensive, Typing a challenge on small touchscreen, keyboard, So-so phone reception, No SD Card slot
HTC is asking a premium for this unlocked phone—$779 is a lot of money given that you could buy nearly four iPhone 3Gs for the same price. However, in return, you’re getting a unique and fairly versatile device that can be used the world over...
Abstract: I’ve been looking forward to the arrival of the Touch Diamond for quite some time. Windows Mobile used to be my mobile platform of choice, but since using the Nokia N95 and N95 8GB, I have been swayed over to the Series 60 OS. The N95 8GB has been m...
Never believe the hype - it's a saying that I place great faith in, because (most of the time) it's true. I've lost count of the number of times a movie that's been hyped as the "must see" of the year, complete with fabulous trailers and impressive specia...
Abstract: Just got the HTC Touch Diamond smartphone today and I can tell you that it’s a pretty nice little gizmo. I’ll be taking it for a spin over the next few weeks, so if you have any questions about it or if you’d like me to try out any particular features,...
Abstract: The HTC Touch Diamond is an ambitious smartphone. It is clearly intended to compete head-to-head with the iPhone, and appeal to the average consumer, not the business users that most Windows Mobile smartphones are sold to. To do this, HTC has come up w...
Abstract: The HTC Touch was the first real competition the iPhone faced, even if it didn’t necessarily set out to be. HTC was surely trying to capitalize on the popularity of Apple’s all-touch device, but Windows Mobile is a more open though much clunkier UI tha...
