The editors didn't like

  • Keyboard blocks some menus
  • Expensive
  • Mediocre battery life

  • 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...

  • HTC has come closer to the iPhone here than any other handset manufacturer. It's the best-looking Touch yet, with a more responsive touch wheel and five-way joypad, plus a handy stylus. Specs and features-wise, the Diamond is amply loaded -...
  • The 2.8-inch touch screen, while compatible with HTC's TouchFLO interface (which lets you flick through screens or photos by swiping your fingertip) is still a fair way behind the iPhone's interface, and the touch sensitivity isn't as accurate...
  • If the aim is the iPhone 3G, then HTC so nearly struck gold. Or diamond. Only a few niggles meant that this just fell short of the ultra-phone.Best offers for the HTC Touch DiamondeBay.co.uk £229.99 Amazon Marketplace £239.99 HTC Touch Diamond i...

  • Abstract:  On paper the Touch Diamond is a desirable device. Some of this desirability remains in the real world, but the poor battery life is the biggest of several irritations. The Touch Diamond was first made available SIM-free, but network operators are pick...

  • Abstract:  we cant help but feel let down by the HTC Touch Diamond. It looks wonderful and the touch-screen interface simply sparkles, but sadly the usability just isnt there, with the touch-screen proving more a hindrance than a blessing. In addition after us...

  • HSDPA , WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, Atrtactive TouchFLO 3D interface on top of Windows Mobile 6.1, Stylish and pocketfriendly
  • Very poor battery life, TouchFLO 3D runs slowly and is not always well integrated with Windows Mobile, No expansion slot, No keyboard
  • HTCs Touch Diamond crams a multitude of features into a compact and stylish device, topped off by a flashy user interface. However, the TouchFLO 3D interface has too many rough edges and the battery life is terrible...

  • 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...
