Description of Sim Free Mobile Phone - HTC Touch Diamond - Black
Re-defining the perception of advanced mobile phones… the HTC Touch Diamond™ signals a giant leap forward in combining hi-tech prowess with intuitive usability and exhilarating design.
Featuring a sharp 2.8-inch touch screen housed within a stunning formation of brushed steel and flawless faceted edges, the HTC Touch Diamond is as beautiful to behold as it is to use.
With HTC’s vibrant touch-responsive user interface, TouchFLO™ 3D, and ultra-fast HSDPA internet connectivity… the HTC Touch Diamond offers a rich online experience to rival a notebook computer, allowing you to interact with Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia as freely as you would with a broadband connection.

CNET.co.uk judgement
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
