HTC Touch Diamond

...had my eye on the HTC Touch Diamond for quite a while, so when my contract on Orange ended a couple of weeks ago I decided it was time to take the plunge. On several other sites I've seen this phone touted as the iPhone killer - that's a pretty awesome reputation considering how big the iPhone has become, so I must admit to having some high expectations about this phone. Will it live up to them? We'll see... '''HTC - The Company''' HTC? Who? I'll ...
...trapezium shape, glossy black with HTC branded on the lid. Rather than being made of cardboard, it's made of a thick plastic. Inside the box you'll find: * The phone itself, with the large screen covered in a plastic film to prevent scratches * A pair of headphones which connect to the phone's mini USB port * Two magnetic styli (one for backup, thoughtful!) * A sticky plastic screen protector * A CD containing Microsoft ActiveSync and a trial of ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

The HTC Touch Diamond is, in my opinion, a classy looking phone. The back cover features a faceted design which does indeed mimic the surface of a diamond. Once I'd got the hang of the ''Touch-Flo'' menu system it became very simple to use. Now that I've experienced this touch screen phone I'm not sure that I'd want to go back to the old style of phones, which rely on a keypad to navigate around the menu system. The great thing about the Diamond ...
...the screen and it will take you directly to the application you want to use. The phones main functions are arranged in a horizontal menu and can be reached by stroking the screen in the direction you want to go. A nice feature of Touch-Flo includes the user's ability to zoom in on web pages and text pages by gently stroking the screen in a circular motion. It is a very tactile phone; you feel like you are stroking a pet all the time! The animation ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

...phones. No Comparision at all. HTC Sucks! but no doubt HTC is good from looks and touches. Cool outlook and features but of no use. i heard about all the problems the other users had had with this phone but the truth is, if you take some time to really customize this phone, it really comes into its own. i know this is something HTC should've done this at the production stage but this may be the fun bit of the phone! XDA developers is one of the best ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

Got my Touch Diamond 3 weeks ago on a contract, sharing some experience with people who is considering buying this phone. The design of Diamond is actually the main reason I choice it. Comparing to iPhone, it is much thinner and smaller, and also comes with a phone case. The larger 2.8 inch 640X480 screen produces high image and video qualities. The built-in 4G storage allows a lot of music tracks and video clips to be stored. TouchFLO makes the ...
...all looks better than iPhone's interface. A stylus is included, and it supports hand writing input as well as the virtual keyboard. Synchronising contacts and to-do-list with Outlook is also very easy through ActiveSync software. This is my first time using a Windows Mobile system, one thing I have to say is, I found it much easier to use than the Symbian S60 3rd system on my old Nokia N73. Using Touch Diamond couldn't be easier if you a Windows ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

I bought this product a while back, after needing an upgrade from my old phone. From what I saw, there was a lot of hype around it, and I therefore decided to take the plunge and get it. Now this phone has some excellent features, but there are many great let downs which I feel would make me not recommend this phone. Let me first say that I bought this phone a while ago, and the problems with it may have been fixed with an updated ROM, but this is ...

As far as I know, It runs on Windows mobile, Therefore it contans alot of other features including powerpoint mobile and messanger. #two The graphics are the phone are amazing. Especially the weather effects. It something you couldn't have got years ago on a phone. The problem is, there ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

I've been using the HTC diamond, on a contract with Orange, for about four weeks now and thought I'd add a review about a phone that was initially dubbed as the 'iPhone killer'. Firstly the looks, the Diamond is very slim, has a shiny black casing with some funky shaping on the back panel and slightly rounded corners. The device measures 102 x 51 x 11.33mm, which means it comfortably fits into your pocket unlike some of the other Windows Pocket ...
...of the previous variations of HTC devices stylus holding systems. Specification-wise the phone is very good, a Qualcomm 528 Mhz CPU, 192 MB of RAM and 256 MB of flash memory. On its own that's fairly reasonable but it also has 4 GB of internal storage, more than enough for lots of MP3's, Videos and Photos. The phone comes with all the trimmings: Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, GPS, AGPS, Quadband GSM/GPRS/Edge and UMTS/HSDPA, FM radio and an accelerometer ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

I have owned this phone for a year now and have had mixed thoughts about it. Firstly the battery life is very short (1 day), it is possible to get around this with a battery expansion pack (sold seperately) but this makes the phone twice the width ruining the sleek image of which this phone is known for. It is difficult to find a better looking "pda" style phone on the market but with more and more coming out each day the diamond is starting to lag ...
...often sluggish though I feel that for the amount of software that can be crammed onto this phone it is sometimes understandable, browsing the internet can be done via 3g or it can be connected wirelessly to a wifi hub which speeds up connection times dramatically. This is a purely touch screen phone, there is no slide out qwerty keyboard and for users with fat thumbs like myself there is a stylus which can be used for texting and also for handwriting ...

my boyfriend has this phone and it's really a very good phone with lots of different functions and features, you can do quite a lot with this phone as well and if you have a child at home that you know like to play with your phones etc you can put a lock on the phone and can be sure that they won't dial a number. it has a great look to the phone and it's LCD making it look beautifully and shiney, but the bad thing is you can always see your finger ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

Thinner, smaller and better designed than the iPhone. It is a great phone, own it for 2 weeks and have had absolutely no problems with it, except for the fact that it runs out of battery very fast. But this problem you can solve too, buy buing an extended battery (costs 50 lira). You will find lots of free applications for it, no matter how many you will install and run at the same time, the 500 Mhz proccesor will never let you down. ...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

...for the release of the HTC Touch Diamond, I am a little disappointed in the general function of the device. The touch screen takes a while getting used to and quite a bit of pressure is required compared to the iPhone. The screen on the phone is fantastic, I use it to watch converted videos and I must say it is brilliant. I like the new touch flow interface although it could be optimised some more. The size of the phone is perfect, it fits into your ...
