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
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: Having been very, very, very excited about the launch of the HTC Diamond when it was announced, you can imagine my delight at getting my hands on my very own. I mention at the end that Im going to give it a few days more to see if it could replace my ...

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 ...
Small, Great screen, TouchFLO 3G is impressive, WiFi and GPS
Poor battery life, No expansion for built in memory, No 3.5mm headset jack
What a small, neat and desirable device this is! Until you take into consideration its poor battery life, lack of memory expansion, and a few other niggles....
Abstract: The new HTC Touch Diamond gets its name from the beveled edges of the back case. At first glance, it may strike you as something ordinary, even a run-of-the-mill Windows Mobile PDA. But slowly, all the extras will start coming to light. For start...
