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.
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

The editors didn't like
The screen attracts a lot of fingerprints making it look oily and unclean.
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
Occasionally sluggish interface
Small keyboard
Extremely slow
To the point of being unusable
Buggy. Poor battery life. Lacks 3G support. No memory card slot. TouchFLO interface is balky. Awful speakerphone.
The 3D TouchFLO interface is not very user friendly.Look and Feel...
Keyboard blocks some menus
Expensive
Mediocre battery life
No microSD slot
Dismal battery life. TouchFLO is inconsistent in spots. Subpar video playback. No memory card slot. Gets very hot during calls (more so than the iPhone).
Very expensive
Typing a challenge on small touchscreen
Keyboard
So-so phone reception
No SD Card slot
Still a "confused" UI
Requires switches between dpad
Finger
And stylus input.
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...
Sluggish performance at times
No expansion card slot
Small QWERTY onscreen keyboard
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...
Its too expensive. The smartphone is also slow.
Molasses-slow performance
Dated menus under TouchFLO
Interface requires stylus
*
The Touch Diamond is sluggish and call quality is subpar. The TouchFLO interface has a bit of a learning curve
And theres no expansion slot.
While performance is greatly improved over the unlocked Touch Diamond
Theres still some sluggishness. The virtual keyboard is cramped and may give some users problems. The Touch Diamond also doesnt offer an expansion slot.
Despite more memory
It still lags at time
HTC music player needs work
Concerns about reception
At least for now
Software glitches
Glossy body
Odd dpad
No U.S. 3G
Thicker and heavier than the original
TouchFLO 3D is only skin deep
Keyboard is still a pain to use
Which makes messaging and productivity apps more difficult. Reception problems hurt data-intensive services

HTC Touch Diamond makes a revolution in the world of Windows Mobile. Portable and powerful, it’s fully worth of its price. The short battery life and the casing’s vulnerability to dirt and grease are the two and only weak sides, but that doesn...

The HTC Touch Diamond is a nice phone with a better camera than the 3iPhone 3G and other extras that will help make it a good rival, as long as HTC is able to spread its new Taiwan price of £50 to other parts of the world....
Abstract: The Diamond has been with me now for about two weeks and I have reached a verdict: Fail. I had very high hopes for the Diamond; I wanted it to wipe the smile off Apple’s face, and be a proper competitor to the unstoppable iPhone. But alas it isn&rs...
Abstract: No question, so far Windows Mobile smartphone cameras were pretty basic and users mostly got 1.3 megapixel cameras only or - if lucky - a 2 megapixel camera with fixfocus. However, with the recent launched and upcoming new Windows Mobile smartphones, t...
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...
Abstract: Just thought I’d post an update on my experience with the Diamond after using it as my main phone for the last few days. My first impressions report wasn’t particularly positive, and while some things have been slightly better with some tweaks...
