  On the Fence November 8, 2008 I really enjoy the features that this phone has and that I don't have to carry a phone and a PDA (like I used to) to get more connectivity than I used to. I didn't get along with my phone for the first 2 weeks but now I understand it alot more and am able to get what I want off of it quickly. The battery life is a major problem but one of the other reviews mentioned getting a larger battery. I got this phone from sprint for about $250 after all the rebates and deals so I won't have a problem spending $70 for a better battery.
PROS: -Looks awesome -Great Features (calendar, tasks, windows media/word/excel/ppt, opera browser, GPS) -Navigating around the different features is cool (but has a learning curve to it) -Lots of settings to personalize the device to your liking -Works with Rhapsody so you can download unlimited music to your device (legally with subscription) -Internet is lightening fast when even not on WI-FI (which is broadband capable) -Camera looks great and works well (again with a small learning curve) -Sound quality is ok (some cracks and pops sometimes)
CONS: -Battery life short (I have to make sure I give it a mid-day charge -Some of calls to the device don't go through (I was standing right next to the guy who was calling me and his phone was ringing) (not sure what to think of this one because my last phone did that also just not as frequently) -The learning curve
OVERALL: You are wondering, "should I buy this phone?" I can only answer with another question...how logical are you at troubleshooting problems? If you expect the phone to work out of the box, look for another phone but if you think you can do battle with some rather frustrating problems and win...this is the phone to get. Most of what I learned about the phone came from the problems that I had because it is a very technical program. As a phone, it functions well (with a few calls that just don't through but that could also be a result of a bad signal) and plays well with your contact list (which is also very detailed and cool). As a PDA, it functions just as I would expect. As a device, it behaves just like windows device so if you can accept the fact that it needs to be restarted for about 90% of the problems that arise you will never regret purchasing it.

This phone has all the features I expected, the performance is excellent and I have no complaints. the thouch flo 3d is incredible, as it works alongside the Windows Mobile 6.1 pro, there is not much to say. 100% recommended
  Sexy, but doesn't work with my life September 20, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've heard about this handset for months before I really went for it. Two weeks ago I bought it from Telus with special data plan promotion (C$15 per month for unlimited emails and web browsing). After 7 days I returned it to the vendor and replaced with a Blackberry Curve.
Telus' Diamond Touch is a sister model of the "real" Diamond. It was called "Victor" in Asia. Most of the hardware and softwares are the same but "Victor" doesn't have a diamond back, which is the reason why it is called Diamond.
I've been a Blackberry user for two years. I also own an Apple iPod Touch (1st generation) for a year. They are good comparison to the Diamond.
After receiving this tiny sexy Diamond Touch, I couldn't stop playing with it for the whole night. However, the touch screen was far from good as the iPod Touch, which is identical to my colleague's iPhone. The touch screen of Diamond was annoying to control. The web browser virtually didn't work. I touched the links of webpage but it couldn't go through, no matter I used my finger tip or the stylus. I read the user manuel to find out if I've done anything wrong. No, it just doesn't work. iPod Touch is much better in web browsing experience.
The email function is okay, and of course far as good as the Blackberry. The Contact and Calendar are also hard to use. I should blame Windows Mobile for it, not HTC.
Eventually, I hit the trigger to return this handset. It's input stuck on number mode. I couldn't make it back to ABC mode, until doing a hard reset and gave up all my data.
I have gotten the Blackberry Curve for 4 days and very happy with it. If you want a fancy toy with powerful multimedia and web browing, get the iphone. If you use your handset a lot to talk and receive/reply emails, get a Blackberry.
  Great for advanced users September 10, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
People complaining about the phone being slow should install the latest ROM (or one from xda developers). It will also improve battery life.
If you want a regular phone, just get a nokia and get out of here... If you want a PDA that is also a phone, get the diamond and have some fun! This is a device for those freaks like me who like to install lots os third-party apps and mess around with the system.
Battery life, btw, is ok to me, just don't leave wifi, 3g, and etc on all the time (anyway, what's the point of having them on if you are not using??). Or just get an extended battery and your problems are solved (There is one very nice from HTC - 1350mAh, but cost around $70 - others exist, even with 2200 mAh, but they ruin phone appearance!!).
Sorry for the bad english...
  I wish if I read the reviews before I buy it! September 10, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I gave it one star because: +1 It has a very classy design.
It lost four stars because: -1 It is too slow. -1 Low battery Life. -1 Difficulty in using the touch screen. -1 Too expensive compared to the other phones with the same technologies available in this phone.
