HTC Touch Diamond review
Network and connections
HTC is entering the market with a new successful Smartphone, with truly high-quality features and capabilities. First of all, this is a GSM Triband device, capable of working on the 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz frequencies, but that's not all. In fact, thanks to Dual Mode it is also able to take advantage of the UMTS network; in this way network coverage is truly excellent in every part of the world. Browsing the Internet with the Touch Diamond is really fast, thanks to packet data transfer in HSDPA. Thanks to the internal modem and the HTML browser it will be just like browsing with ADSL at home. In addition, you can take advantage of shared connections thanks to Wi-Fi support. Bluetooth is also present for exchanging files with other devices, as is the USB 2.0 port.
Design and features
HTC's designers wanted to express a hi-tech concept of elegance, focusing on essential and clean lines. The Touch Diamond's body is a monoblock, with extremely glossy and shiny surfaces in black. In the upper part, importance is given to the large display, a 2.8-inch LCD capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. It is completely Touch Screen, to allow extremely easy and fast use of the device. The new TouchFLO 3D technology offers a three-dimensional view of content, for an even more futuristic setting, increasing the possibility of movement in the controls. The dimensions are compact, thanks to a thickness of just 11.5 mm and a weight of 110 grams. In the sales package you can find the stereo headset, the USB cable and a handy protective case.
Main features
The high level of this Smartphone is also shown by the potential it offers. The platform is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional; this leaves ample room for imagining the Touch Diamond's expansion possibilities. Furthermore, processing power is absolutely significant, thanks to the 528 MHz Qualcomm processor, which makes use of 192 MB of RAM memory. Java support also allows compatible applications to be installed. The voice sector boasts the presence of the speakerphone, with good audio quality, as well as the voice recorder and support for multi-conference calls. In addition, the dedicated camera allows video calls to be made. There's no need to dwell on the classic management functions, which are absolutely complete and advanced here. Text writing is easy and immediate; this also makes it possible to conveniently manage E-mail from your device.
Entertainment and multimedia
Despite being a phone with a Business focus, the HTC Touch Diamond lacks nothing in the entertainment department either. A 3.2 megapixel camera allows you to take good quality photographs, thanks also to the Zoom, or to record videos. The memory is not expandable, but the standard 4 GB is definitely enough to hold a large quantity of files. This makes it possible to carry your favorite music in various formats with you, to be played with the dedicated media player. Support for FM radio broadcasts is also included, complete with the RDS function. In addition, you can
