HTC has come closer to the iPhone here than any other handset manufacturer. It's the best-looking Touch yet
With a more responsive touch wheel and five-way joypad
Plus a handy stylus. Specs and features-wise

The editors didn't like
No external storage
No 3.5mm jack
Prototype we tested was sluggish
Extremely slow
To the point of being unusable
Poor battery life
No expansion for built in memory
No 3.5mm headset jack
Disappointingly vapid camera and video performance. No option to expand memory. Windows OS not ideal...
Unable to expand memory
Typing can be awkward
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 cant help thinking of the HTC Touch Diamond as the iPhone Mini, the pocketable model that Apple never got around to making. Of course, that comparison only goes skin-deep. The Diamond has a gorgeous, vibrantly colored touch screen, like the iPhone...

As a whole, HTC did a good job when designing this phone and the TouchFLO 3D interface. Although there are a few things we’d change (like adding a 3.5mm audio jack and a microSD slot), none of these things are deal breakers. Assuming you can live wi...
Abstract: These days it's impossible to review a touchscreen phone without comparing it to the iPhone. So, is the HTC Touch Diamond a true competitor for Apple? Well, for starters the Diamond is not entirely touch, but features a five-way joypad and call button...
You will have to pardon me if I don't come off as extra excited about the Diamond. Yes, the screen and browser are unbelievable in person. But the usability after getting past TouchFLO 3D, limiting battery life, and way too twitchy motion sensor leave...
On paper, the Touch Diamond promises the cellular equivalent of 007-level debonair style and efficiency, but it feels more like a junior agent-in-training in the end. Its remarkably capable with its Windows Mobile operating system, but the TouchFLO i...
This is a great looking touch interface phone and all of the Windows Mobile bells and whistles; this US version has removed many of the issues that seemed to plague the Euro version; plenty of ROM and RAM, as well as a 4GB internal drive; gorgeous pho
I have to complain about the Weather program yet again…there, I’m done; battery life seems worse than expected; hope that 4GB is enough for you, as there is no expansion slot
Stunning hardware design and elegant software user interface; front panel is subdued, intuitive and refined; display is bright and sharp with excellent contrast; sensitive touch-screen; amazing orientation and localized haptic feedback capabilities; se...
Stylus is a virtual requirement for accessing certain parts of the user interface; landscape mode is underutilized and landscape QWERTY availability is far too rare; some minor integration flaws between Windows Mobile 6.1 and TouchFLO 3D; no memory exp...
With its unique body and incredibly sleek interface, HTCs Touch Diamond is a beautiful, distinguished handset. The crisp display is a joy to play with, and the screen is very responsive to the touch. The accelerometers are equally sensitive and accura...
Abstract: Video Review: For whatever else we might say about the HTC Touch Diamond on Sprint, we can finally declare that HTC has gotten the responsive touch interface to feel right. It isnt perfect, no phone is, but the TouchFLO 3D interface that HTC has se...
