    HTC seems to always be on the cutting edge of cell phone technology and with the HTC Touch Diamond, it certainly lives up to its reputation. The new Sprint version of the Touch Diamond improves upon the unlocked version that was popular over the past summer. Improvements in the performance and design of the device have put it at the top of the wish lists for many gadget lovers. Sprint's CDMA version of the Touch Diamond will cost you $249 (after a two-year contract and... Read more

    The HTC Touch Diamond is currently the best smartphone we’ve used for Verizon, beating out the Samsung Omnia and BlackBerry Storm . The combination of TouchFlo3D interface, high quality VGA display, 3.2MP camera, and excellent call quality make it hard to beat. It’s powerful enough for the most hardcore business and techie users, but friendly enough that just about anyone can pick it up and go. Our only complaint is that the video player won’t play DivX and Xvid... Read more

    Comparisons ( read more in-depth comparisons at Wirelessinfo.com ) In many ways the Touch Diamond is a device without a user, despite its wide array of capabilities. HTC's TouchFlo interface is supposed to make the touchscreen-oriented phone more usable, but frankly it's not as good as other touchscreen devices like the iPhone, LG Dare, or Samsung Instinct. For business users the software functionality is robust, but the lack of a keyboard will be a deal breaker for... Read more

    Despite warm initial impressions of both the phone and its TouchFLO interface, extended use proved that the hardware inside wasn’t ready to handle such a graphically heavy system running on a dated architecture like Windows Mobile 6.1. Short of some awkward buttons and proprietary headphone connectors, we have very few complaints about the outside of the Diamond Touch, and wish the software inside could live up to its promise. Pros: • Fashionable exterior •... Read more

    I have had my HTC Diamond Touch Pro for roughly nine months. Previously I had the Treo650 and Treo700wx. When I first got my HTC Diamond Touch I had to return the first two of them due to defects. The third one worked better. The HTC Diamond Touch Pro ... Read more

    It was an ok phone. I thought it would be a lot better and more versatile than it is. I was a little disappointed. When your using your phone it doesn't rotate the texting keyboard but it does it in every other program. I kinda wish it would do that. Also the screen shuts off a lot when I need it to stay on. Especially when I am making a call and I need to use the key pad to enter information, it was really frustrating. Also, you have to turn on the screen a couple of... Read more

  3. It is a mistress in handhelds!

    I had the Diamond for about 7 months before I write this review. So it is not an impression that I will give you, but rather a truthful presentation of how the phone actually worked for me. Like many others, I bought the Diamond after much research, and because we failed to resist the seduction of its looks. However, after using it for several months and exploiting almost every mods there is, I have come to a conclusion that it is like a mistress (looks and feels good in... Read more

  4. Great Touch Screen Phone

    Pros: Phone is very fast, fastest phone I have used yet; interface wise. Customization of the phone is fantastic. You're able to download an app which will allow you to text message sideways like all the other touch screen phones on the market, a task manager to determine how many resources your phone is using (to conserve battery life), windows is windows, the possibilites are endless. Built in GPS has live traffic reports, runs off of satellites not towers, and never... Read more

  5. "Much faster after software update, has everything!"

    Reviewer: CNET
    08 September 2008

    This is an excellent phone, way ahead of the pack, and vastly superior to the much.-touted iPhone. A fair part of my enthusiasm is due to the release of the new ROM software (which for me in Europe came as an Internet download, but most of you folks will likely get it from the outset); this update removed completely the phone sluggishness (slow? NO way Josè) . Also, i suspect call quality may depend on operator: in Europe (and I visited all major countries in the last... Read more
