HTC Touch Diamond

Multimedia
The music quality has undergone some significant changes. It not only sounds a lot crisper, but at the same time looks and feels a lot less hostile. Since there’s 4GB of space built-in, you can start enjoying music immediately. It also supports the A2DP profile, and having tested it, I have to say the music sounds much better with a heavy-duty Bluetooth headset. It also has a FM radio with RDS, which works fine.

There something called MP3 Trimmer, which allows you to directly cut up your favorite song and make ringtones out of it. It’s a very intuitive and useful tool. A great function, I think.

The camera is a 3.2MP job with autofocus. The camera, however, doesn't offer much by way of settings. Also the white balance is a bit off. The only problem is that pictures tend to be a bit warm for my taste. While viewing pictures, you can enjoy features such as tilting the phone to change the orientation. However, the camera is a decent one.�

A serious departure from a long line of Windows Mobile phones is the games section. While Bubble Breaker and Solitaire are still there, a new addition – Teeter – makes use of motion sensors in the phone. The idea is to move the phone to get the silver ball into the green hole, while the terrain is full of black ones that need to be avoided.

Every time the ball hits a wall, you will feel a "thump" in that particular corner only. This, along with the fact that you can control the ball right down to its minutest motion is what makes the game so cool. However, HTC could have used this feature for more than just the game.
