Rough diamond or a polished gem-stone ?

The HTC Touch Diamond is without doubt one of the most polished, powerful & accomplished mobile smartphones we've ever seen.

HTC have been busy over the last year or two with their ever-expanding smartphone range, which continue to gain popularity by the month. The Touch Diamond takes on the best that's out there at the moment and quite literally beats the hell out of everything.

Touch sensitive phones are at their most popular at present, with handsets such as the iPhone and LG Viewty proving to be best sellers month in, month out. The Touch Diamond is, as the name suggests, touch sensitive too - but it has far better styling, better technological features and a far advanced operating system than the two mentioned.

Aside from the cool brushed steel housing and super clear 2.8 inch display, it's a joy to use as it is to behold.

Operating on Windows Mobile 6.1, you can see HTC have worked hard on the interface and the TouchFLO 3D is a delight to use. Your contacts, favourite music, videos and photos are no longer an uninspired line of text. With TouchFLO 3D, album artwork, video stills and snapshots of your friends’ and family’s faces are brought to life for you to interact, play and launch at your fingertips.

Ultra-fast HSDPA internet connectivity allows the HTC Touch Diamond to offer 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.

With a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, funky weather forecaster, 4Gb of available memory, Bluetooth, FM radio and Microsoft applications, the Touch Diamond really is a true all rounder. And to prove this point , it also has A-GPS, an integrated ultra-sensitive GPS that will help you find your destination as quickly and efficiently as a dedicated satellite navigation unit !
