We came, we saw, we blogged, or Venimus, Vidimus, Blogimus, as they used to say in Roman times. HTC’s press release for the Touch Diamond is after the gallery.
HTC Touch Diamond – buggy, locks up, processor not fast enough. Cannot enter password from reboot without waiting a minute or two for it to settle down otherwise you will attempt to re-enter on at least 2 occasions. Counter intuitive to everything a mobile phone should be; forget making and receiving calls, forget entering numbers for credit card payment or choosing options during a call, forget pressing physical button to end a call and expect it to work, don’t expect to maintain a call for more than a few minutes without the call being terminating for no reason, expect it to terminate a call if you remove the usb cable during a call. Use its core functions and watch your battery drain faster than water from a sink. Even more disappointingly don’t expect decent support from either orange and htc themselves, they are nit interested.
