I've had several HTC devices. I have a Wizard, two Touches, and am now using the Fuze from AT&T (I think that's the same as the diamond, isn't it?). I'm crazy about the keyboard and the screen, but the camera disappoints me, and there's no button for it. I guess I'll have to grit my teeth and do that registry fix to remap the PTT button (useless piece of trash that it is) so I can access the camera that way. Anyhow, this has been my favorite device so far. But I wish we could get the HD here in the US.

I'm on t-Mobile in the U.S. so had to order an unlocked GSM version to keep my current service. It works great --most automated setup I've seen on a WM converged device. I've been happy with Touch-Flo and choices made in the interface so far. Haven't had much time to work with the GPS functionality yet but will get to that soon. Loaded the Audible player and a few audio books, hooked up my Motorola BT stereo headset and in a few seconds was easily listening to an audio book with integrated interruption from phone calls and use of the mike in the headset for calls. You-Tube link, Google Earth, Opera Browser have all worked well. Unfortunately, the T-Mobile GPRS is still as slow as ever on the internet data rate. They are moving to G3 but not there yet in my home city. When I'm at home and office, the WiFi works well for browsing but I haven't checked yet to see if my phone calls automatically go to VOIP and don't count against my plan minutes. I've also yet to set up and check out voice dialing. I've taken a few still pix and video recordings - quality is OK but obviously not as good as my stand-alone digital cameras. Adding programs to the touchflo Menu display is simple. I no longer need so many add-ons to achieve a nice integrated presentation of the total functionality. The icon bar at the top provides simple access to a lot of the controls needed and the task manager which is as good as any available. Battery life is pretty good (I have the 1340 mAH battery). So far I can go all day and still have a bar or two left. Just charge every day or night one time to keep going. I found out the Sprint model has a more rounded enclosure, so some of the accessories may not work for the GSM version which is more rectangular. By the way there are extremely affordable options on eBay from multiple sources for chargers, cases, soft enclosures, audio adapters, . etc. -- check it out! I'd love to hear from other Touch Diamond users about their experiences. By the way, I moved to the TD from a several year old MDA which finally was having many glitchy problems, expecially after upgrading to WM6 (public ROM image). I never really used the slide out keyboard much so the TD was a perfect replacement and I especially appreciate the "thinness". --Don--

I have the HTC x7500 Advantage, and absolutely love it! I really searched for it when it came out and I've never regretted it. my only despair is that I can't use the front facing video cam here in Canada/US. I really wanted to use Skype with the videocam.

Nope, the Touch Diamond doesn't have a keyboard (and has 4 GB internal Flash and no card slot, I believe). The Fuze is the rebranded HTC Touch Pro. (Yeah, HTC has too many devices with "Touch" in their names. )
