HTC Touch Diamond - user opinions and reviews

Without a doubt, the HTC Touch Diamond is a very attractive phone .. indeed beautiful. I live here in Taipei, and last week when my brother from the U.S. was visiting me, we examined, compared, and tried dozens & dozens of phones in several stores. We both agreed that the HTC Touch Diamond was the nicest phone we had seen. The store owner was kind enough to insert his own SIM card, switch the phone's language to English, and let us try the phone. The first thing we noticed is that the touch features did seem a bit slow, but not unbearably slow. A few minutes later, after familiarizing ourselves with the phone's functions and features, it seemed a lot better and a lot easier to use. The slight time-lag delay with the touch features was still there, but not really unacceptable since both of us didn't expect top-end, laptop-computer performance. We didn't get a chance to try the GPS, but that was one of the features my brother wanted to replace his Motorola. And I too figured the GPS feature might be a good excuse to upgrade from my Nokia N73. But upon re-examination, my brother decided the price of over $700 U.S. dollars was too expensive for the phone. And while I was very tempted to buy it, I too quickly realized that aside from its GPS, attractiveness, and ultra-slim & light-weight features, it couldn't do much more than my Nokia N73. And certainly not at that price! The N73 may be a bit on the heavy & bulky side compared to the Touch Diamond, but its stereo speakers are clearly superior. Cameras on both phones are 3.2 megapixel. And I prefer a removable memory card such as the N73 has. But if HTC lowers its price, or I wait long enough until prices come down, the Touch Diamond could be my next phone. Right now though I can easily live with my N73, especially with spare batteries costing just $10 dollars here.

Obviously not as in-depth as what you will find at the arena, but short and to the point.

lesBleus, 01 Jul 2008does the touch screen really lag?, is it smooth as the iphone? pls anyoneI have this and an itouch (without the phone)
Screens are totally different... I like both but talking about a touch screen ofcourse Iphone is way better... With the diamond I use the pen alot and yes there is a lag but there is a new ROM that should fix it... I am waiting for HTC to release the official ROM...

twilight, 29 Jun 2008HTC is a great device designer and ODM
They are NEW to selling direct to customers
It is bet... moreno thats absolutely wrong, its network branding that often ruins phones.
always better sticking with what HTC want to run on their phones, plus you get the updates

had this phone for about, 5 days, and i am quite happy about it. the phone, at time lags for 1-3 secs this isnt a big matter, but gets pretty annoying when im trying to look for something quickly. the battery life is horrible, first day, after being fully charged my battery lasted about 15 hours. which is pretty brutal since i call very often. the signal is like all other pda-like phones. it isnt very good. but, the design is very nice, the applcations and functions are very useful. this phone, in my opinion is a good buy for people who dont mind spending a large sum of money on a good phone

to those looking to buy, htc gives a list of suppliers on their website to whom they sell directly.. http://www.htc.com/www/where_to_buy.aspx .. i've gone through the uk suppliers, and insight, handtec, clove, and devicewire offer the best prices with a good return policy.. and some of those sites claim expansys.com to have shipped in "grey imports" - i.e. the initial release in asia with the lag problems.. this was fixed before official shipping to europe from htc happened.. hope this helps somebody!

I don't know if anybody had this problem, but I tried to place the order on a couple of websites (eBay at first), but my order was canceled three times saying it's out of stock. I just called www.cellswholesale.com and they said it's in physical stock, but I'm hesitant...has anybody had this problem?
