Top GPS Guide

The HTC Touch Diamond pushes the Windows Mobile interface much closer to touchscreen nirvana. This smart phone is compact but boasts a large screen and is packed with features, from GPS to HSDPA.

We thought the Touch Diamond was going to be HTC’s pièce de résistance. Instead, we were left wanting more. It looks the part of an all-round super phone, but it doesn’t work like one. Hopefully, HTC can learn from this and make the next iteration of Touch phone more responsive — that may involve scrapping Windows Mobile as a back-end OS.

Design

The HTC Touch Diamond looks fantastic compared to any Windows Mobile phone we’ve seen before. It’s not too large or small and has a thin profile, which makes it easy fit into a pocket. Unlike previous models, HTC has added an attractive twist to the design of the back of the phone by using a prism-like surface. It looks less boring that your traditional smart phone.

The Touch Diamond’s VGA (640×480 pixels), 71mm (2.8-inch) touchscreen is very sharp and displays pictures really well. Unfortunately, it’s very glossy, so you may struggle to see what’s going on in bright light. Another disadvantage of the Diamond’s glossy surfaces is that they pick up unsightly fingerprints on the back and face grease on the front. Expect to clean this phone often if you want to keep it looking good.

Features
Considering its size, the Touch Diamond is packed with features. It’s one of the most feature-rich Windows Mobile phones out there and boasts almost everything you’d need on the move. There’s GPS that you can use with Google Maps — it looks great on the Diamond’s screen, too — and HSDPA and Wi-Fi, which makes browsing the Web and picking up emails fast and possible almost everywhere you go.
