    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 HTC Touch Diamond is the best CDMA phone we’ve ever used.  That’s not to say it’s perfect, but its darn near close.  The size, weight and feel are phenomenal.  The VGA screen keeps us drooling, and TouchFLO 3D is an amazingly intuitive and useful interface.  Performance boosts have made even Windows Mobile run smoothly, and the OS allows infinite customization possibilities.  It’s powerful enough for the most hardcore business and techie users, but...

    This touchscreen phone offers an elegant design and fun interface along with speedy surfing, but is it worth the $50 premium over the iPhone 3G? Read more

    The third time around we still like this smartphone. In fact, it beats the original Euro Diamond and fixes our complaints with that firstborn. The Diamond is certainly the wave of the future, with its innovative and pleasurable user interface with the power of Windows Mobile underneath. HTC's software is well-designed, with finger-friendly targets, an enlarged Start Menu option and controllable finger-scrolling in places like contacts and the weather country/city picker....

    Just like the Touch and the Touch Dual, the Touch Diamond has really taken great strides in making the whole Windows Mobile ­interface a lot nicer to look at, if not necessarily easier to use. In fact, if the Touch Diamond is anything to go by, HTC will soon get all aspects of the interface down pat. However, for right now, I have to say that while the Diamond looks really nice, it needs a ­processor boost and a bit more RAM to speed things up so that it can keep up... Read more

Next we will be touch screen sensation indeed. Superior menu we can access with three-dimensional view. For example, access to contacts, photos and video, weather (weather), email, SMS, browser, and others. Read more

    Obviously there has to be habds on before someone submits a review, but it doesn't stop some people. In all the touch flow interface is just about flawless. Swiping and touching is very easy to navigate through the menus. The Opera browser is awesome because I can finally say look at this on a web page and leave someones jaw wide open. The resolution is a revolution...Besides the fact that the youtube app and the Opera browser display is sort of like looking at HD; The... Read more
