HTC Touch Diamond Specs

i had this phone for 3 yrs and loved it. when it first came out it was $900!!! i had the money and really wanted it, so i got it. then about 5 days later i dropped it in a lake while fishing. i jumped in a found it. i took the whole thing apart and let it dry for 3weks. it was fine there was nothing wrong with it at all. this is the first phone i have ever paid that much for and it was the longest ive ever owned a phone and it was my favorate. it did everything i needed. the only complaint is that it could b slow at times. but then a kid stole it along with my money and he did the same to my bestfriend and stole her iphone, and money that was hidden in her bra, while she was sleeping he took it and she put it there to hide it from him. i hope the kid who took it will get what he has diserves! and i hope we get out items back but i would love to buy another htc just cant afford it right now:(

I had the HTC diamond for more than a month and until now i am loving it MORE as i am having everything done just by sliding my finger on the screen ... moreover it is 3D touch flo which gives you a better feeling while using the phone...

BUT the most important problem i faced with this phone was its lagging while sailing through the phone which made me upset.... but when i UPDATED the ROM from version 1.53 which comes with the phone to 2.03 it was a totally new phone with NO lag at all ...

one of the reasons i picked this phone not the iphone is that i am medical student and i need some 3rd party programs that works only on the windows mobile ... and i don't want to hold a large phone with me to the hospital ... so the diamond was my choice ...

in conclusion ... if you are buying a slim nice windows mobile phone with the best performance ... buy the HTC touch diamond and feel unique ....

In all honesty, I've had some really good phones in my life so when I say this is probably the best phone I've had so far, it says something. I'm not like some Apple converts who are brainwashed to love an iPhone despite it's flaws, but I can honestly say that although the HTC Touch Diamond has it's flaws, I do like the phone overall.

It's basically a small computer with a phone function. I can open Word, Excel, PDF Files from my emails and store them on the internal 4GBs


What I do with the phone:

1) Browse the Internet: Youtube (pre-installed application) / Google / Maps/ Social Media etc./ Read RSS feeds
2) Check / Receive / Respond to emails
3) Send / Check / Receive / Respond to SMS
4) MSN (pre-installed) & Skype
5) Screen & Take Phone calls
6) Play music
7) Play the lame games

8) Oh yeah, organize & plan my weeks on the calendar
9) Check the time

Here are things I rarely use but use from time to time:

1) FM Radio
2) Calculator
3) Camera (not great, but who relies on a camera phone for great pics?)
4) Check the weather (or I could just look out the window)
5) Remote Desktop to my home / work computer

This phone is a good blend of business & pleasure. It looks sharp, but is a fingerprint magnet. There are minor things that used to piss me off until I found out that these things happen to all smartphones (which isn't all that smart if u ask me)

1) Irregular crashing
2) Insufficient battery life when you run a lot of applications simultaneously and use them often

So I do recommend this phone. I know there will be much better phones in the near future, and I plan to get an Android phone once they have one that's better than the HTC Touch Diamond (if you do the comparison on PhoneArena, you will see that the Diamond still has the best screen vs. Legend, Hero, HD Mini, etc.)
