Reviews of the HTC Touch Diamond
-
CNET Review
The Good: The HTC Touch Diamond has a cool 3D interface and a beautiful touch screen. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.
The Bad: The Touch Diamond is sluggish and call quality is subpar. The TouchFLO interface has a bit of a learning curve, and there's no expansion slot.
The Bottom Line: The HTC Touch Diamond offers much in the way of sex appeal and flash, and it's certainly got a formidable feature set. However, we hope HTC resolves some of the performance issues we experienced before the smartphone is released in the States.

Review Summary: HTC's Touch Diamond crams a multitude of features into a compact and stylish device, topped off by a flashy user interface. However, the TouchFLO 3D interface has too many rough edges and the battery life is terrible.

Review Summary: The Touch Diamond is a beautiful, if imperfect, smartphone that makes more sense in this 3G-enabled, subsidized incarnation. Just be sure to stay near a power outlet.
