HTC Touch Diamond: Not a Zune

HTC is slowly turning into a major force in the cell phone world, garnishing a reputation for bringing out fully-featured smartphones with either touch-sensitive controls or QWERTY keyboards. The latest iteration of the successful Touch line is the Zune-like Touch Diamond.

Slick and sleek, the Touch Diamond, as expected, is just oozing with features. GPS, WLAN, HSDPA, Accelerometer, and 3.2 megapixel camera make the short list, but the phone does have some drawbacks: first, there's a grand total of 4 gigabytes of storage with no expandable memory - which means you're limited to that 4 GB.

Second, the Touch Diamond is only available in tri-band configurations: 850/1800/1900 for the USA, and 900/1800/1900 for everyone else. However, this isn't necessarily a negative, because each region does get correct 3G frequencies (850/1900 for the USA, 2100/900 for the world).

Interestingly enough, the candy bar is equipped with a mere 900 mAh battery - but that battery can power the phone for up to 5.5 hours of talk time.

But if you're looking for a touch-screen smartphone that's complete with all the bells and whistles (and you can stomach the retail price), then the Touch Diamond may just be for you.
