    HTC have been around some time and have a number of handsets out there. The touch screen market is pretty fierce at the moment with everyone trying to out do the iPhone with the latest and best device. So how will HTC favour with their latest handset the HTC Touch Diamond. Read more

    At one time, HTC made handsets for other companies, but it is increasingly making a name for itself in the Windows Mobile space. The Touch Diamond has a high-gloss finish and the faceted design on the back helps give it its name. The quality of the plastic used is variable, as the back of the device is solid but we found the front a little less robust. The glossy finish also means you’ll be constantly polishing the 2.8-inch screen. Read more

    A built in camera feature supports both still picture capture as well as video recording. The 3.2 megapixel digital camera feature comes with an automatic focus feature which ensures a well focused picture will be captured each time a picture is taken using the Touch Diamond. The camera feature also supports high quality video capture which allows the user to capture those fun moments as moving video footage. The user can store their video recordings which can be played... Read more

    Never believe the hype - it's a saying that I place great faith in, because (most of the time) it's true. I've lost count of the number of times a movie that's been hyped as the "must see" of the year, complete with fabulous trailers and impressive special effects, has turned out to be a turkey. It doesn't just apply to movies: it happens in sport (take the Dutch national football side - so often highly rated, so often also-rans), and often in the technology industry... Read more

    Sound quality on phone is not that good. This phone must be provided with some high defination ear phone. Mind that you are gonna spend more than US$20,000 on a cellphone and accordingly sound quality never suits you know. Nokia N95 is having far better things. Both from Imaging & Video along with the sound features. I've used both the phones . No Comparision at all. HTC Sucks! but no doubt HTC is good from looks and touches . Cool outlook and features but of no use. i... Read more

    Avoid, avoid, avoid! Looks very good, has some super features & if it worked properly would be the best phone I have ever had. Doesn't answer incoming calls, touch flo software a bit hit & miss but by far the worst aspect is the battery life. 6 to 7 hours from fully charged to flat as a pancake. Only advice from HTC, switch all the features off. Makes the phone a joke really. As I said AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! Read more
