I have been using mine for a few weeks now! I was using an XDA Orbit 2 which is a great phone! I love my Diamond, even though it has some battery issues and can be a bit sluggish on the TouchFlo 3D also no expansion slot but I still love it.

The Screen is amazing, web browsing is fantastic, because the screen is so clear you find you don't have to zoom in as far or not at all sometimes. You can read goggle searches without zooming! when I turn on my Orbit now the screen looks so low resolution its wierd!

The accelorometer also comes in very handy for rotating pages and pictures, there is even a great little game which you use the phone to control a ball.

TouchFlo Looks great, you really don't need to use the stylus at all now, it feel nice sliding along to each tab, the weather tab is cool with animated weather icons and rain that apears on the screen which is then wiped off by a little wiper blade! really nice touch!

It is very fingerprint prone but as long… more »

It is very fingerprint prone but as long as you put on the provided screen protector there is nothing to worry about, it all wipes clean!

Another cool feature is the light sensor which when the backlight is set to auto, it will automatically dim or brighten depending on the ambient light, hence if its really dark it will dim the backlight so you don't burn your retina's!! and the opposite for bright sunshine!!

The other thing to mention is that the signal strenght doesn't seem to be as good as my Orbit 2, but I haven't had any real issues with that! If you live in a bad area then this could be an issue!

I only give this 4 Stars due to the lack of expandable memory and the fact it only has a 900mah Battery. If these were better it would be 5 Stars from me!!

The HTC Touch Diamond is almost perfect, but not quite.
Pros:
It's seriously pretty and the graphics are awsome
The touch screen works well - but it's no iPhone
Ultra high res screen - incredibly sharp images
The Windows 6.1 works brilliantly - I will never go back
The camera quality is as sharp as my old Sony Ericsson K810i - but there's no flash and the autofocus is very slow
It's slim and light
Big internal memory
Great web browser
Useful stylus makes texting easy (and it's magnetic - cool)
Excellent alert system - a ring of white light flashes when anything has happened - missed call, new SMS, new email etc
Amazing tilt game shows off the phones top accelerometer

Cons:

Battery is weak but will easily last a full day until you can charge it
The screen scratches very easily - you must use a protector (supplied)
No flash on the camera
The music player is a bit fiddly - no 3.5mm jack
The phone… more »

The phone goes to sleep during calls which can be annoying if using automated phone services
Quite slow at times, when swapping between applications in particular (but hey, it's a weeny mobile, not a 2 gig PC!)

The Touch does most things far better than the iPhone, except the touch screen and the music player, which cannot compare.

If you don't need a mega camera (like the new SE C905 or the N96) and you are not an iPhone junkie, you won't be disappointed.

If I could've bought an iphone, I would've...but I'm stuck with Orange for certain reasons. To give you an idea what I'm basing my review against I've previously owned a SPV M600 (Windows Mobile) and my last phone was a Nokia N95, my partner also owns the LG viewty which I've used a fair few times.

The phone is the most stylish phone I've owned, it smooth gloss finish stands out and it's also much slimmer and lighter than the N95. I've been playing with it for a few days now and it's very easy to use. Items like the weather are a neat little toy, but it's actually becoming very useful when deciding whether the umbrella is needed in the morning. The web and e-mail are faultless, very easy to use and quick. Texting is a bit different, but mainly due to using the screen instead of buttons. Everything else seems pretty normal, contacts, camera (nothing amazing but still good). My only gripe is the slight lag every now and then, but my N95 did this, the viewty does it....most phones… more »

In my opinion the features are top drawer; I can happily live with a slight lag from time to time!
