I can’t wait to get the HTC Touch Diamond into my sweaty hands, and I’m sure there are a lot of you out there that feel the same way. Alas, we won’t be getting any HTC Diamond goodness for some time to come, but that doesn’t mean we can’t pass the time with some HTC Touch Diamond vs. Apple iPhone action!

Engadget Mobile has managed to score an HTC Touch Diamond of their very own and has pitted the iconic Apple iPhone against the revamped HTC Touch handset. The winner? Well, you decide…

    I don’t think there’s any winner. It depends on user preference, I have used both. Why do people keep claiming one to be a winner over the other, like one of the two OSes should just stop existing. No device can be perfect and thanks God for that ‘cus if that day came then innovation would stop happening. Besides there’s enough room for all the WMs, Iphones, Nokias, SEs and a whole lot of more vendors, so they can happily keep on sucking on consumers blood.

    I agree. There really can’t be a so called “winner”. Both phone has it’s own unique set of specs and although they can compete with eachother, it’s really all up to the consumer. If someone wants an iPhone then they will get an iPhone. Same goes with the Diamond. There is still plenty of room out there for more phones to come into the mix aswell. We can never hope for the “perfect” phone because a day when everyone has the same phone is the day people will be sad because they can’t show off their “better phone” to their friends! :D

    There is certainly no winner here. Two different OS. Two different screen sizes. And two different audiences. If anything, I prefer to use a Windows Mobile 6 Professional device for all its integration goodness with Windows Live and Microsoft Exchange.

    These photos just showed me exactly how small and elegant the Diamond is. If only the touch wasn’t so slow and nonresponsive.

  • Sarav

    the Diamond is small but then the screen size also decreases [:(] i dont understand why manufacturers give bigger screens..3.5inches is ideal IMO

    i GUESS THIS IS THE REASON WHY THEY NOT MAKE IT ON THE SHELF YET, LETS WAIT FOR FEW MORE DAYS.
    i ALSO HAD CHANCE TO PLAY AROUND FOR FEW MINUTES THAT I FOUND THE VGA RESOLUTION REALLY AMAZE ME THAT I WILL PROBABLE WILL GET ONE FOR MY FAMILY PHOTO ALBUM SHARING WITH MY FRIEND.
    THE 3M CAMERA WITH AUTO FOCUS REALLY HANDY FOR SHARP PICTURE TAKING, AND IT WORK WEEL WITH THE CRYSTAL CLEAR VGA SCREEN. THIS IS SOMETHING iPHONE BE OUT OF THE RANGE.
    I GUESS WILL GET MY T-MOBILE COMPACT iv AT SUB EUR100 DEAL FROM MY LOYALTY OFFERING. BETTER THAN THE iPHONE THOUGH!
