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

Very poor battery life
TouchFLO 3D runs slowly and is not always well integrated with Windows Mobile
Most petite Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro device available, Combines groundbreaking onefinger UI with powerful Windows Mobile 6.1 features, Fantastic software customizations, Touchscreen differentiates between finger and stylus, Slim and attractive design, 3D An...
Default "Fast Sleep" mode during a call disables the Call End button, Less than stellar battery life, Some of the TouchFLO 3D animations are too slow, Finger smudges all over, Current 3G model only works on 900/2100Mhz networks (I.E. Not AT&T), No Start/O...
At first I expected to hate the new user interface on the Touch Diamond. Its actually not as annoying as I thought and has the potential for greatness after tweaking it a bit. The hardware buttons I thought would be completely unusable, but it tur...
Abstract: The HTC Touch,with its TouchFLO interface, launched just before the iPhone in June 2007; was certainly no iPhone in terms of user interface. What leaps and bounds from HTC in just a year: TouchFLO 3D on the Diamond and upcoming Touch Pro has considera...
Abstract: I previously wrote up my first impressions of HTC’s Touch Diamond when I had some fondling time at Mobius this year. At the time I mentioned how it was smaller than I had expected and that the touch screen response was spot on. I also wasn’t sure if th...
As we said at the beginning of the review, this is one of the most visually attractive Windows Mobile handsets we’ve used. The physical design is impressive, and the Touch FLO 3D interface is a thing of aesthetic beauty. Unfortunately, the performance...

VGA screen, slick finger UI, amazing Opera browser
Software glitches, glossy body, odd dpad, no U.S. 3G
So whats the final word on the HTC Touch Diamond? Well, it would be "see", as in "Wait and see." I think it is just too early to say what the future holds for this device. Especially since Ive been ...
TouchFLO 3D is good enough to compete with Apple’s acclaimed interface, The Diamond is the perfect size and weight, Open platform, though the VGA screen might mess up third party offerings, Attention to detail in both the design and software, Teeter, Definite “wow” factor
Despite more memory, it still lags at time, HTC music player needs work, Concerns about reception, at least for now
We are overall very impressed with HTC’s latest super-phone. TouchFLO 3D is an amazing overlay that proves to be much more than eye candy. Opera Mobile is the best mobile web experience we’ve encountered yet. It’s a very powerful device for both the bu...
Abstract: Over the next 2 weeks we will be reviewing the HTC Touch Diamond and answering all of your questions you might have on this device. The unit we will be reviewing is a final production European release Diamond. Unfortunately many in the USA were under t...
Abstract: The Touch Diamond gets the company as close to the concept of a mass-market Windows Mobile powered device as they have never been before. And if the Diamond will turn out to be a flop for some strange reasons, the next generation model, its follow-up,...
Abstract: May 6, 2008 -- HTC, of course, is the Taiwanese PDA maker that rose to fame when it collaborated with Microsoft and Compaq on the initial iPAQ Pocket PC. The companys superior design and execution allowed them to quickly become a force in the Poc...
Abstract: That’s about time we wound up our story on the HTC Touch Diamond’s hardware. Back when the HTC Touch saw release, we were very careful with our forecasts, as we weren’t sure whether the mass-market would deem it overly complicated regardless of all UI...
