Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The people that placed this ad neglected to list the specs on this phone. At this time the only HTC Diamonds in the US are imported European phones and so they support the European frequencies. This phone only supports the 900/1800/1900 GSM frequencies, ATT sometimes uses the 800-850 frequency for GSM in the US so if you use ATT you might find yourself without service. Europe and Asia both use different 3G frequencies than are going to be used in the US. If that is not a big deal for you and your current GSM service provider does not use 800-850 and you are not interested in 3G service then this is a cool phone. However, I would wait until HTC releases this phone in the US where it will have the correct frequencies supported and you will be able to use 3G. If you haven't already done so, you should also check out the HTC Diamond Pro which is the same phone with an added slide out keyboard.

Delivering unmistakable style and meticulous craftsmanship the HTC Touch Diamond is defined by its compact size, captivating 3D touch interface, and sophisticated communication tools. And with the power of the updated Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, you'll stay easily connected to your business and personal data on the go with support for a wide variety of email accounts as well as the ability to edit Microsoft Office documents.
The Touch Diamond's TouchFLO 3D user interface responds perfectly to your finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web, and launching media--all vividly displayed as photos and artwork on the 2.8-inch screen powered by the 3D graphics processor.

This unlocked U.S. version of the Touch Diamond can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. When paired with a compatible 3G network that uses UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 MHz connectivity (found in Europe and Asia), you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas in the U.S. not served by a 3G network or in foreign territories, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).
