HTC Touch Diamond 2 User Reviews

The design of this mobile phone is attractive and looks expensive. It is not easily scratched and is durable. The touch screen is not the best is not as sensitive as other developed smart phones like Samsung Wave and does not respond to every light touch. I have owned this more than 12 months and is still working fine. Some problems might involve system not responding which might be solved by restarting in most cases.

The phone is not complicated or difficult to use in terms of programmes and applications. The camera is very good actually and provides good resolution and works pretty well at night not only in day light. The only obvious drawback is the battery which needs recharging more often. I have two batteries so sometimes carry both for emergency. Mine lasts 20 hours when used well for a variety of purposes. Overall, it is good but not the best!

I've had my Diamond 2 for 2 months. The keyboard is far too small and delicate for a man's size hand, and is too sensitive with double characters all the time. You have to use the stylus if you want to be accurate.

To my mind too much has been packed in, the screen should be bigger as style is less useful in business use than functionality. Sync to MS Office is a joy however and for the first time I have my mobile diary.

That said, the 5 mp camera is not supported by flash which renders it useless a lot of the time, and sending mms is a nightmare as mine will only allow me send the poorest quality photo files.

I totally regret upgrading to this device and cannot wait to get my hands on an iPhone or Blackberry Storm 2. Sorry HTC, give us a business phone and stop worrying about size and style.

I just recently upgraded from my Diamond to the Diamond 2. 2 weeks old and the screen is already faulty - looks like oil between the glass and the LCD. Bought it in Malaysia, live in Thailand, so cant get it fixed under their limited warranty. Not good for a 2 week old US$700 handset. Last HTC for me! Blackberry next.

The HTC Diamond is the successor to the touch and the HTC Touch Pro the successor to the Diamond. Confusing I know. I am not sure where the Mogul fits into it.
That, combined with a keyboard-handset relationship that is lacking at times, means that while this is probably what most people thought they wanted from the Diamond, the reality is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
