TouchFLO 3D runs slowly and is not always well integrated with Windows Mobile

We thought the Touch Diamond was going to be HTC's pièce de résistance. Instead, we were left wanting more. It looks the part of an all-round super phone, but it doesn't work like one. Hopefully, HTC can learn from this and make the next iteration of ...
Abstract: Heres our photo view of the HTC Touch Diamond. Its a thin, sleek handset with some wonderful design touches. This is a definite design shift from previous handsets - nothing but the miniUSB port is the same. Ive literally had the phone for an hour ...
Small, Great screen, TouchFLO 3G is impressive, WiFi and GPS
Poor battery life, No expansion for built in memory, No 3.5mm headset jack
