When you first open up the phone and start playing with it, it seems perfect. TouchFLO is amazing, all the functionality is right where you need it to be and everything zips along without any problems. Then about 30 minutes goes by and the usual windows mobile problems crop up. Terrible task and... Read the full review →
The phone itself is really great. You have: - A small form factor - Really great screen, very sharp thanks to its very high dpi - Good design, visually appealing, without the need to ape apple design It would be really great if it was running Android, but it is running windows mobile 6.1, with all...

This phone (HTC P3700) was my only choice when I lost my HTC P3600. It had everything I had (except IR and memory card reader), but faster and in a better format. The TouchFlo3D HMI was not very intuitive in the beginning but I got used to it and everything worked fine. There are a few things that... Read the full review →
If the HTC Touch Diamond is judged as a consumer device, it would fail miserably. That is because the Diamond runs Windows Mobile 6.1 which was never a consumer friendly OS. Many elements of the OS interface appears outdated and it's often confusing to navigate with the tiny menus and cryptic... Read the full review →
I have 7 email addresses, I use it for internet, texting, social networking, and it "just works." I like everything about this phone- except: 1. my fingers are too fat for the user interface so I still use the stylus. 2. It's too easy to scratch the screen. 3. it would be nice if...

HTC Diamond is a great Windows Mobile phone. It has a sleek interface called TouchFlo which makes it simple to navigate to your music, calendar, to applications and contact lists. I had the GSM HTC Diamond and used it on T-Mobile and it was great. Battery life was not so great because I was one of... Read the full review →

I've had the diamond for about 2 years now, and its been a rocky road. I first bought it when I thought all I needed was a small form factor device which can run IGO for me, and who the heck needs a keyboard, man I want a small device. Since then I've grown up. The screen is too small for... Read the full review →
After reading up on the Touch Diamond, I picked up the phone as soon as it became available at the Sprint Store. The screen itself was gorgeous - bright colors, great resolution. Not reading the manual, it took me a couple of days to figure out how to navigate through the menus (you hold down the... Read the full review →
I had this phone for about 8 months until I decided to get rid of it. My main problem was that I constantly had to worry about re-charging it. I was using it for web browsing quite a bit, and that drained the battery within a few hours. Basically my Samsung Netbook had longer battery life than this... Read the full review →
This being my first touch screen smart phone was for me a big thing,when you first see this phone "CDMA version"it comes off as a sexy black touch screen phone,but whats under the hood is just sadly another basic windows mobile phone.The HTC touch diamond is very nice to look at and so is...

Phone is passable, but in this day and age far behind in terms of technology. Read the full review →

I bought this phone when it first came out to replace my Moto Q. I would've waited around for the Touch Pro since I'm a keyboard guy but I've learned to live with this phone for now. Will definitely go for a keyboard phone next but it wasn't too bad. I've had this phone for... Read the full review →

The smaller form factor and gorgeous design, combined with the extraordinary little usability features such as flipping the phone over to silence a call, the vibration call connection indicator, and the accelerometer, combined with the attractive new interface design are all great reasons to make this your next phone.
