HTC Touch Diamong - limited connectivity
The biggest problem for HTC Touch Diamong is its limited connectivity. With the current dual-band UMTS 900/2100mHz, Australia users would not be able to access the Telstra NextG network which has the largest coverage. It would switch off all the rural users and those who need mobile data.
With Touch Dual, HTC has released a Touch Dual 850 with an additional support for 850MHz. If HTC is not going to do the same with Touch Diamond, the customer base will be subtentially reduced.
Also due to its limited connectivity, Touch Diamond is also not suitable for people travel overseas.
My conclusion is: Touch Diamond is nice to look at, but may not be suitable to use if one requires reliable connectivity.
