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

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

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

Design, TouchFLO design and interface, HSDPA 7.2, 4GB internal storage, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Opera browser
Interface is sluggish and slow, text entry is tedious, still requires stylus for more complex operations, no 3.5mm headphone jack, no memory card slot
The much-hyped Touch Diamond had plenty of potential, but ultimately it is a hugely frustrating phone to use. A great display, stylish design and reasonable browser are let down by a sluggish and slow user interface. Unfortunately, the great eye candy...
Sleek, petite handset design, TouchFlo 3D is stunning, Great connectivity, Simplified email set-up and threaded SMS
Appalling battery life, No true navigation software, Prone to extended lag spikes, Platform is still a bit buggy
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 ...
