Slow, Build Quality, Fingerprint magnet, Poor Utilization of Touch Wheel, Battery Life, SIM Locked, No memory card slot, Heating, No 3.5mm jack.
The Touch Series of handsets from HTC just got better with the release of the Touch Diamond. The handset boasts of a completely new TouchFLO interface and as the name suggests its entire interaction is touch oriented. This slick handset is the first to operate Windows Mobile 6.1. The Touch series till date has seen quite a reception from customers and has a niche fan following. Read on to find out more about this phone.

Its a horrible piece honestly! Within 4 days of purchase I got an error saying there was Microp version error and the phone went kaput. Then the camera would not function. Then only the touchscreen worked, so I could not dial any number not already in memory. The phone discharges every 8 hours when NOT USED. Will discharge even faster if used. It heats up so much that I could boil eggs on it.

Why the need to have it network locked after charging such an exorbitant price..

The software is not ready for prime-time yet! Its shocking how pathetic and slow the software is on a comparatively fast processor. Abysmal !!

I have a touch diamond and i bought this phone in India. It does not have the second camera for video conference and even the application google maps for gps. I dont know whether i can download google maps...could you please help me with this.. I have found the phone satisfying. the battery life though a bit low i am able to squeeze it for a day. All slim phones have the tendency to get heated up. Even the nokia 6300 has the same tendency. HTC diamond is also a slim phone and also gets heated up. I find the touch interface is great and the phone is damn sleek.

Even I am user of p320. How is your battery. My phone's battery dies after less than 30min of talk. Are you happy with your phone? Can't we do something about it.

We must outrightly reject such super costly phones(net work locked also) with so many flaws.Of late I observed all the reputed cos missing out one feature or other??? Nokia yet to give a touch screen phone, Samsung & LG yet to give GPS&Wi-fi enabled ones. I am interested in purchasing a mobile with the following specs. touch screen 2.8 inches,GPS,Wi-Fi,3G,HSDPA,HSCSD,5MP Camera with OIS,video recording @30 fps, QWERTY key pad and last but not the least with an OS and atleast 8MB of flash memory.
