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
Plenty of ROM and RAM
As well as a 4GB internal drive
Gorgeous pho

Excellent documentation
Looks good
Great game included
A devilishly handsome handset that packs an array of features despite its svelte size....

The HTC Touch Diamond for Verizon includes an expansion slot and supports VZ Navigator
Visual Voice Mail
And the carriers EV-DO Rev. A network. The Windows Mobile smartphone also has integrated Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
And a 3.2-megapixel camera.
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
Nice VGA display
Slick UI
Great browser
Sparkling
Responsive interface with useful shortcut features. VGA screen. Fast networking helps the speedy Web browser. 4GB internal storage. ...
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
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).
Still a "confused" UI
Requires switches between dpad
Finger
And stylus input.
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.
Despite more memory
It still lags at time
HTC music player needs work
Concerns about reception
At least for now
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
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...

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...

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 set atop Windows ...
