HTC Touch Diamond Review

The HTC Touch was the first real competition the iPhone faced, even if it didn’t necessarily set out to be. HTC was surely trying to capitalize on the popularity of Apple’s all-touch device, but Windows Mobile is a more open though much clunkier UI than OS X, and ultimately the devices were really in a different class...

If verizon got this phone, it would be hilarious if they put their own interface on it.

no it wouldn't, so the interface wouldn't be so damn slow

I like the phone overall. The iphone just doesnt cut it for business purposes.

Major gripe: After less than 3 weeks my usb cord shorted and does not connect to activesych. USB is NOT covered under warranty, so I would have to buy another (after spending $600 + on the phone)

Honestly i think Sprint should of focused more attention on HTC products much more than on the Garbage INSTINCT You cant even customize anything on the phone, but all i can say is the Diamond and the Rafael is going to be some Awesome phones!!!

I have had the Touch for 5 weeks and what a nightmare of a phone. The lag is almost so slow that I can mak e acup of tea and come back to it before it has moved from one page to the next. The connectivity is slow and haphazard that it makes it impossible to have any confidence in the phone. Also, the screen isn't even straight in my phone.
Rubbish- 0 stars

I agree with anonamous (34.) incidentally does anyone know how the cpu performs? I have a Tytn and after about 3 months it has slowed down markedly. Probably because it's clogged up with old photos etc... still, that and the occasional bug are my only gripes with the tytn. This looks much better though would be interested to do a side by side comparison.

so,....is the diamond and the iphone way ahead of the touch? My touch is slow, locks up, is hard to hear rings, and callers, runs out of juice way before the 4 hour rating or are these super phones more of a gimmicky thing than truly hi tech functional tools?

I need a power phone first and internet second as i practically live on my cell phone or would the best advise be to stick o a simple phone and skip the razzle dazzle

That's my question....Do I wait for the diamond to come out (It's supposed to be soon) or do I go with a Blackberry? I don't think the Iphone is really an option for me, as I don't know how or where to get it, or how to attach it to my company (I'm with telus and they don't offer the Iphone).
When I went to Telus, the rep told me that the Touch was garbage (the first one) he said so many people had problems with it freezing, and then they'd have to shut it down, and he really didn't recommend it. He told me to get the Blackberry curve.
I want a phone mainly for web. Checking my e-mail, Facebook, and IM....And to use as a phone...Music, camera, text, not all that important. I'm not that technical, so something easy to use is best! Please help!!!
