    Ironically, the best Windows Mobile phones are the ones that don't look like they use Windows Mobile. That, essentially, is what HTC has managed to achieve with the Touch Diamond2. The new TouchFlo 3D is by far the best manufacturer-bundled custom interface we have used. Some advanced users may prefer certain third-party ones, but out-of-the-box, we believe many will be entirely satisfied with the Diamond2's interface. At S$1,088, the Diamond2 is pretty expensive. That's... Read more

    As a whole, the Diamond2 proves to be a worthy successor in the lineup and it´s not a disappointment, except for the fact it´s less innovative alongside of previous models. The Touch brought out both TouchFLO and design that had been hard to imagine by then, while the Touch Diamond featured the awesome TouchFLO 3D and even shinier design. The Diamond2 is more ordinary looking phone, but it´s been devised as phone to allow easier use from the get go, features more... Read more

    On its own, the Diamond2 is a true winner. It's refined in every way that a phone should be refined, and it represents the best hardware and software interplay that we have yet to see on a Windows Mobile device. The increased screen sensitivity, focus on finger-friendliness, and many TouchFLO 3D enhancements make the Diamond2 a true joy to use. But you are probably reading this review to determine if you should get yourself a Diamond2. Here is a little help. First, if... Read more

    Thanks to its dazzling, responsive interface that almost completely hides Windows Mobile 6.1 from view (the worst parts of it, anyway), the HTC Touch Diamond 2 has sprung to the top of the pack as our favorite Windows Mobile touchscreen phone on the market. The phone isn't just superfast, it's also packed with intelligent new features, like the great calling features that aggregate useful information to make business conversations more informed. There is still room for... Read more

    I am a doctor and purchased this phone after seeing reviews about excellant quality of this phone in cnetasia and phonearena.com and gsmarena.com.The review of the lady editor from CNET UK looks biased or she does not have much experience about windows based phones.I think she should re-review HTC touch diamond 2 again and give unbiased opinion. I sold my earlier SE Xperia and purchased this phone with a loss of almost Rs. 25,000/ [Paid almost Rs. 44,000/ for Xperia]. SE... Read more
