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 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...
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 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...
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...
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: 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...
Slimmer than HTC Touch, its predecessor ,It does not need a memory card slot because of its 4 GB internal storage. ,It has a higher VGA display resolution than its predecessor or the iPhone. ,
The screen attracts a lot of fingerprints making it look oily and unclean. ,
The HTC Touch Diamond has a solid feel and is very comfortable in the hands. Its design is simply elegant; its faceted cover gives it a personality apart from other PDA phones.
