Details:

Getting ready to buy a new smartphone. I use Cellular South and they are now offering the HTC Touch Diamond. Really like the looks of this phone since it is a touch screen. I like the I-Phone but only AT&T offers it and their service sucks where I live so I have to stick with Cellular South. I was wonder what has been your experience with the Touch Diamond. Good points & bad points. (please Touch Diamond users only).

"better performance and supports Sprint's EV-DO Rev"

 by newuser42771592 on Apr 01 2009 (10 months ago)
Official Rating

The HTC Touch Diamond for Sprint offers better performance and supports Sprint's EV-DO Rev. A network and multimedia services. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also features the cool TouchFlo interface and has integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.While performance is greatly improved over the unlocked Touch Diamond, there's still some sluggishness. The virtual keyboard is cramped and may give some users problems. The Touch Diamond also doesn't offer an expansion slot.The HTC Touch Diamond for Sprint brings some nice additions and improvements over the unlocked GSM version--most notably to performance. It's best suited for first-time smartphone buyers or light users, while business customers should wait for the Touch Pro.
Sources: the HTC Touch Diamond for Sprint is the same as the unlocked GSM version. However, a number of design changes inside and out make the Sprint model almost like a new device.

"Much faster after software update, has everything!"

by Blue_straggler on September 8, 2008

Pros: The HTC Diamond is a remarkably complete smartphone, with all the
features I could think of. After software update (ROM update of 31/7/2008, AFTER
your reviews) the phone performance has greatly improved.

Cons: The stylo is still a pain, and I dislike MS drop-down menus. Also, it lacks shortcut-buttons, for instance to connect to wi-fi (the Treo Pro has that) , which
would bypass the cumbersome drop-down menus.

Summary: This is an excellent phone, way ahead of the ... read more

Summary: For starters, it was hard to find the actual ... read more
