    The HTC Touch Diamond has a pretty face, but is ultimately dragged down by the Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Read more

    • Fashionable exterior; ultra-sharp display; quality camera; attractive interface
    • Very slow performance; dated menus under TouchFLO; interface requires stylus to work properly

    The phone is currently available from Sprint for a price of $249.99 after discounts, rebate, and a two-year contract. Over time, this price will drop, but for a newly released Windows Mobile smartphone, this price is right on target with the rest. Read more

    • Attractive, small handset, TouchFLO 3D interface, Accelerometer, GPS & Wi-Fi, Vibrant VGA display
    • Fingerprint magnet, No microSD expansion slot, No 3.5mm audio jack

    Just got the HTC Touch Diamond smartphone today and I can tell you that it’s a pretty nice little gizmo. I’ll be taking it for a spin over the next few weeks, so if you have any questions about it or if you’d like me to try out any particular features, leave a message in the comments section and I’ll do my best to address your requests.

    Well, even the best diamond specimens have imperfections, whether they are visible to the naked eye or less so. Yet, last time we checked they were still quite worth it. The situation is a bit similar with HTC's own precious stone. The Touch Diamond has revolutionary size and design, topped with unsurpassed touch functionality among Windows Mobile devices. Read more

    this phone is a is a PILE!!! if you can stay away from this phone.. when i first bought the phone, 3 months in the vibrate completely broke and i was having problems with the screen... took it back to the store and they couldnt fix this problem, so i had it replaced.. UNFORTUNATELY this phone is dumb enough not to have a SD card slot.. so i lost ALL my pictures and saved documents. Read more

    • Internet, full keyboard, touchscreen.. not a whole lot to say good about this phone many things broke
    • slow, it always breaks, one app at a time, no room for SD card, screen issues, freezes

    Reviewer: PhoneArena.com

    AWESOME! At least they put in a browser by default that is not the standard IE. Pocket IE is great for tiny pages, but is woefully slow and renders complex pages well. Heavy browsing on Pocket IE was painful and cumbersome. Browsing on the iPhone by comparison was a dream, and that is one reason why iPhone is so popular. Give it a good browser, and it will be a good iPhone competitor ... not until then. Read more

  4. Phone fell apart and HTC won't support it.

    I picked it up and the front of the phone fell off and hit the ground breaking the screen. I was still holding on to the back of the phone. There is almost nothing holding the back on, a 1/2 mm and it comes off. I called HTC and they said that they would fix it for around $200.00 or so. I should have to pay for the phone coming apart when I picked it up? No support for their products at all....I'll NEVER but another HTC product ever again. Read more

    • Windows 6.1, size, touchscreen
    • There is almost nothing keeping the back on the phone, it fell apart in my hand. When I called HTC, I was told that they won't support their product.
