I didn't realize how small it was (especially compared to my TyTN or an iPhone). I originally thought the back was ugly, but in person, it's subtle and actually a little sexy. I hated putting it down.

I'm pretty sure this will be replacing my TyTN...when they release the US version in a couple of months.

where was this?

Could you be so nice and tell me if it is possible to attach a phone strap/hand strap to the Diamond? I could not find any information about that anywhere in the net...

Thanks.

Wolfgang - if you're still wondering, I read in one of the "hands-on" reviews that yes, there is a small attachment point for a lanyard/strap.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe this is the same report I read, where they supposed that this intendation was for attaching a phone strap, but I haven't found any confirmation yet. So I was hoping for somebody who owns a Diamond to confirm this.

I may seem unimportant, but I have gotten used to pulling my phone out of its bag by the strap (much faster) and since I am using the strap I never dropped my phone again which happened several times before...

Looked great...

Except for, the bumpy back. O2 doesn't have it.

However the single biggest drawback -for me- is that there is no microSD memory expansion slot, oh oh! So that means you can't easily swap and change data. I can't have one microSD with an MP3 selection on it, another to save photos/video onto, another with my GPS software on it. That 4GB is going to fill up very quickly if you take it away on holiday without access to a computer to download your photos and videos.

In fact if it had got the microSD slot it would have been ideal for me. The bumpy back I could have lived with. Touch Diamond would have been the PDA phone I'd been waiting for since the Imate I tried out four years ago in early 2004. I'm not interested in the bigger version with a keyboard it's more bulk and weight. I also agree with others that a standard headphone jack is also needed too or at least they should include the adaptor in the box.

Not sure the Sony Xperia (great screen) or the Samsung do it for me either, I like the finger touch interface greatly and HTC seem to have advanced it most on Windoze Mobile PDA phones.
