The one thing keeping the HTC Diamond from sweeping across America as the next big competitor (and a capable one at that) to the iPhone 3G is the HTC Diamond’s lack of support for the 850Mhz GSM frequency band that us Yankees love to use. Sure, 850Mhz has better penetrating power than the higher frequency…
HTC Touch Diamond without the art nouveau design = HTC Victor
You know what a regular HTC Touch Diamond looks like right? I’m sure you’ve seen it, we’ve covered it several times, it’s in shops, the picture above should ring a bell. Check out Victor below. It’s softer, rounder and less edgy. What do you think? Same Windows Mobile device with 3.2 megapixel camera, VGA screen,…

Diamond TF3D Config lets you customize HTC Touch Diamond’s TouchFLO 3D
One of the HTC’s TouchFLO 3D user interface downsides (which is found on the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro) is lack of, let’s say, serious customization. You can tweak only few things, and sing along HTC’s design ideas. Don’t get me wrong – I love the TouchFLO 3D, however why they left out…
FCC shows HTC NEON 400 – CDMA HTC Touch Dual on the way
The CDMA market isn’t exactly HTC’s bread-and-butter market, what with GSM handsets being the way to go for most of the developed world, but that doesn’t mean the Taiwanese smartphone maker isn’t going to give the US some touchscreen Windows Mobile love. Spotted hanging out with the FCC’s laboratory engineers, the HTC NEON400 hints at…
HTC Touch Diamond vs Samsung i900 Omnia
There’s no doubt HTC Touch Diamond and Samsung i900 Omnia are among the top iPhone competitors. Both devices run the latest version of Windows Mobile (6.1) and both of them have their good and bad sides. The HTC Diamond may have a better resolution, while Omnia is more solidly built. Likewise, the Diamond’s touch-sensitive scroll…
