Product Description
The HTC touch Diamond rivals the iPhone yet again. HTC's new flagship phone has virtually every feature available! The huge 2.8 Inch touchscreen LCD has an impressive 480 x 640 resolution, perfect for showing off the vivid pictures you can take with the built in 3.15MP camera. The all new TouchFLO 3D finger swipe navigation is the most elegant interface we've ever seen on a Windows device to date. The 4GB internal hard drive gives you plenty of room to store movies, pictures, music and Windows Mobile 6.1 programs, and the 528 Mhz processor will burn through any task you throw at it. But that's not all the Diamond manages to offer! A-GPS is built in so you'll never get lost on the road. Need to get connected? The Diamond has WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, HSDPA 7.2Mbps (EU and AS only) and EDGE. The list goes on and on for this amazing HTC phone, and it's even thinner than the iPhone!

 Splendid phone, great feature-set, battery the only drawback. August 31, 2008

A splendid phone with a plethora of features that put many other devices to shame.
Pros:
- HTC have done a good job customizing the default Windows Mobile experience. The device is thumb friendly almost 95% of the time.
- VGA screen is really beautiful.
- GPS reception is great. I managed to get a fix indoors sometimes.
- Very fast and responsive (mine shipped with rom version 1.93, however, some people reported horrible performance using earlier roms).
- Performs well as a music/video player. Sound quality in the included earphones is nothing spectacular. However, bluetooth stereo audio performance is wonderful.
- A whole array of sensors make using the phone very easy (accelerometer automatically rotates the screen in certain applications, touch sensitive front panel helps in camera, browser and some other applications; some 3rd party applications required to fully unleash the potential)
Cons:
- Questionable battery life. The 900 mAh battery sometimes borders on the unusable. Adjusting to the battery drain/recharge cycle required.
- Fingerprint magnet. Sometime I imagine government authorities using it to take criminals' fingerprints. :)
- Gets fairly hot under stress (try using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS simultaneously).
- Mine shipped without the case/pouch. I now live in constant fear of putting the device in my pocket.
All-in-all it's a good phone, well worth its price. However, if you're looking to consolidate your other devices (phone, music player, GPS navigator, etc.) into this one device, then consider investing in a larger capacity battery, carry around an extra battery, or try a car-kit for charging when necessary. Using all the features available in the phone will leave you scrambling for a power outlet very quickly.

There is not much I can really add to these early reviews. The phone is pretty good. My reception is clear and the phone feels sturdy in your hands. I have to agree with the disappointment in the battery life - although the manual does say it may take a few charging to get the battery to specifications but my phone is dead at the end of the day.
I have had about three resets since owning it now for about five days and a sync with my Vista Dell yielded some pretty strange messages that have since disappeared. The screen is gorgeous and the touch is good but no where near the iTouch or I assume the iPhone. It took about a half day to get the hang of what kind of touch was required.
Yes the screen gets tacky with touching but so do all the other products. Textured protectors will help and hopefully better ones, than the one it ships with, will come out as time goes on.
Cost was a big factor in choosing this phone over the iPhone which is ridiculously expensive in Canada with limited carriers. Will I stay with it? I will give it two weeks to improve the battery life - if it doesn't improve I will turn it back in on my 30 day DOA clause. Could I live with it for my three year contract? I really don't think that it is that durable but I might be wrong. In the end - even though I don't like the OS - I will probably be forced to go with the Blackberry.
I hope the battery thing resolves.
I recommend caution when purchasing this phone and be aware of these early problems.
