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...

Excellent

1. Diamond Review

got my phone last month and i can say, this is the best PDA for me in my life... wouldnt want to think of selling off or getting a new one... for me is the features in the phone that plays the major fact.

for me.. a built in 4GB memory is way cool for me.. i've stored almost my entire my document folder from my pc into this phone via activesync...

this phone come without a GPS software but you can get some software such like garmin or mapking2007... im using the mapking and it works great with the gps of this phone...

for sound, i totally agree with the 1st person who review this phone. this phone's sound quality is really low. so dont expect too much from this phone. but you may also tweak abit with 3rd party software.

for the touchflo3D... this is the main reason why i choose this phone... because this GUI is way too cool for me... everything can be used with my finger... typing scrolling zooming almost everything... i love this features so much, but alot user complain of the slowness of this... but it was solved with some tweak too... =)

so far the only (-) things for this phone is that it doesnt support any chinese language at all... but thanks to the HTC SEA... they finally compile a chinese input support for this phone... Thumb up for HTC SEA!! XD... well if you get this phone originally, they also included a original chinese input support software for you, but is a bundle version... but i wouldnt want to waste a single sotrage space for this software when i can get a chinese input support plugin from the HTC SEA at 45KB... =P...

for the battery life... i have no problem with it... because i dont use the Wifi and 3G all the time(due to malaysia's poor 3G signal) haha...

Pros

touchflo3D is cool
3.2mp pixel
4GB internal storage
GPS ready

Cons

no chinese input support
sound quality

2. HTC touch diamond - for all your needs

I bought the phone and spent the first few days exploring it.Now, a week later i am not dissapointed from it.
Here goes my opinion :
It has everything that a PDA phone should have.
Menus - Very easy to use.At the beginning they look a bit complicated, but after you work for a while, they become very easy.
Software - The new windows mobile 6.1 works great, the only thing i coudn't run was Skype, but i guess they will make a new version that will work.Also Microsoft Office works good.E-Mail client works good aswell.
GPS - ok here is the big (-) of this phone, it comes without a GPS software so you have to buy one and install it.After this, GPS works fine too.
Wi-Fi - I tested it with a lot of networks, and it worked perfect with all but one (laptop finds it/phone doesn't) but i am not shure the problem is in the phone.
Camera - I personally like the camera, but i never expect too much from a mobile phone camera.
Web browsing - the integrated Opera browser works a way better than Internet Explororer.I use it to browse the web a lot, and so far it works without any problem.
Sound - if you expect this phone to be a Hi-Fi stereo... it's not.The sound isn't very loud....so you probably won't hear it ringing if the phone isn't in the same room.
Touch screen - never had problems with it, actually if your fingers aren't very big you won't need to use the pen much.
Battery - When you use the GPS / Wi-Fi it goes down a way faster than Stand by/talk mode.But i can't say it's a bad battery... after all phone weight is 110g.....
So far i managed to crash it only 2 times (but after a restart everything was back to normal :) ).
This are the things in HTC Touch Diamond that i can call "different" than the other PDA phones i had, i didn't described a lot of the futures but i think they work the same way as they do on other brands/models.
