Sleek, petite handset design, TouchFlo 3D is stunning, Great connectivity, Simplified email set-up and threaded SMS

Its very hard to hate the Diamond and in a world obsessed with the iPhone the Diamond offers a viable alternative. Frequent lag spikes did test our patience and the dismal battery life is concerning, but the Diamond still stands out as a beautifully ...
