What we have here is the latest phone to hit the shop (well, not really, for now you can only order it online). And just like Apple’s iPhone, HTC’s Touch Diamond is a small, slab-style smart phone with a 2.8-inch high-res VGA screen, and it puts a cuddly interface of large icons over Windows Mobile’s PDA-style home screen. TouchFlo 3D isn’t just a home screen, either; HTC and Sprint have written a custom YouTube application, a customized version of the Opera Web browser, and a customized media player to try to make Windows Mobile more palatable to consumers.
Here is a list of the Full Features of the HTC Touch Diamond:
