One touch, one HTC Touch Diamond
After much a fuss and rumors HTC announcements today all came down to one single device - the HTC Touch Diamond. The device features the latest HTC Touch 3D interface...
I agree that sometimes they leave aout a couple of things that would make a phone perfect (the definition of which changes every year), but man, people focus on lack of pretty useless features. Most phones that have a flash have a useless flash anyway. Let's face it, cameras are better cameras than phones and typically will be, unless you want a large phone that that needs charging more often as a real flash drains your battery.
It sounds nice to have a card slot, but only really from the days when internal memory was tiny. 4Gb of built in RAM will be faster than memory from a card slot. I've had phones with card slots and typically just buy one big card and then never need to swap it out. 4Gb is a good size for a phone: it'll fit you PDA stuff, games, apps, MP3s, videos, photos, whatever. You won't be able to fit your entire back catalogue of 320kbps MP3s on there, but hey there's trade offs for everything. Your 60Gb iPod doesn't make phone calls or take photos, but it stores and plays music well.

Why do people call tri-band a disppointment? I've travelled through Europe, Asia and America for years with tri-band phones. Where's the fourth band used? South America? Buy a local phone if you need to go there.

This could be my dream phone, until I found out that it has no memory card slot. What a big mistake!

What kind of Marketing games HTC planed..
No memory expansion slot/ No Flash/ No E-gps..??
Is going to be like the time when they launch a HTC P3300 with a big GPS surprise to the market, and soon launch a HTC 3600 with better spec but no GPS... then finally release ROM with GPS for HTC 3600.
Can't they just launch something perfect??

Ok what with the 10 : 23?
Its shown like 3 times, must important in some way , like a release date 10/23 or the price $1023(hope not), or maybe i'm just being paranoid?
Either way this phone seem great but HTC has let me down before with touch phone, and their horrible phone cameras.
WinMO 6.1 is looking great tho.

well, according to the HTC site ("where to by" link) it will be around 459 Euro
Not that much for that kind of device....from my point of view. :)

gsm 850, wcdma 850 and 1900 should have been included... i think the notion of europe/asia version and us/america version shouldn't exist on phones anymore... there are countries in asia that rolls out wcdma 850 already

please can someone tell me if it has haptics/vibrating feedback? i know the phones not released yet, but this seems to b a factor that everyone missed out.

HTC should've given the device a bit of shape - why always so square on the edges!?!
All these 'touch' devices (incl iPhones and LG Viewty) are too fingerprint-intensive anyway - yuk - send something made more for outdoors use rather than having to treat each phone like it's a million bucks!

"This device looks beautiful & I like the features, it's a shame the display is only 2.8". There is a massive difference between 2.8" & 3.5" and THE BIGGER THE SCREEN THE BETTER. It doesn't matter if the phone is 5mm wider or 10mm longer."
This is complete bullshit my friend, the larger the screen the bigger the device so 2.8 inch is a good compromise and besides that this is one of the few screens that boost a resolution of 640x480 what makes it way better then most screens at the marked at this moment.
