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

As well as a 4GB internal drive

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
A true Diamond in the rough. The latest HTC device has some great features and some real thought has been put into its interface but there’s no doubt that it more hamstrung than helped by its Windows Mobile background. Despite the excellent3D interf...
The Touch Diamond may not be perfect, but its small, light, well equipped and comes with a smooth, clever and reliable 3D user interface that looks great and keeps you well away from Windows Mobile. The screen and web browser are both particularly fi...

Abstract: HTCs Touch Diamond is by far the smallest and slimmest phone in the group. Its sharp-cornered profile looks slick and, apart from the diamond facets on the rear, its attractive. The Diamond has not only fast HSDPA mobile data for quick on-the-mo...

GPS; Wi-Fi; HSDPA; accelerometer; slim design
Sluggish interface performance; lack of flash on camera; screen isn't as responsive as we would have liked
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 ...
