HTC Touch Diamond review | Features
HTC Diamond earphones
Music, Videos and Photos
The HTC Diamond is very well suited to playing Music, Videos and viewing your captured pictures. The Media player looks quite similar to the well-known Windows Media player on a computer. It's easy to move the timeline and starting a song wherever you want. Video files can be played by simply pressing at the bottom of the monitor in the full-screen mode.

Viewing pictures
Viewing the pictures on the large screen is pleasant. Scrolling through the pictures is enabled by sliding your finger from edge to edge on the screen. It is not sufficiently smooth, just like is the case on the TouchFLO, although it is reasonable. Zooming in is enabled by sliding your fingers around the arrow buttons, like on the Apple iPods.
HTC Diamond memory
4GB internal phone memory
The HTC Touch Diamond has an internal memory of 4GB. There is no possibility of enhancing this memory but the 4GB available at purchase, offers the option of using your phone directly as media player. These 4GB of memory suffice for hundreds of pictures, tenths of CDs or a couple of movies.
HTC Touch software
Connection with the computer
To be able to connect the HTC Diamond to the computer with the included data cable, you also need the ActiveSync software eventually. However, even without this software you can use the HTC Diamond to quickly transfer files, for as soon as you connect the data cable you are offered a choice between Diskdrive and ActiveSync. The ActiveSync software is renowned from other Windows Mobile devices and enables you to fully manage your phone. The software comes in especially handy for email and the agenda. Also backups and such can be made. Looking at it from a business point of view, this way of synchronization is an advantage, since there is no better synchronization imaginable than Windows Mobile - Windows.
Windows Mobile software
Microsoft Office support
Thanks to the preinstalled Windows Mobile software on the HTC P3700 Diamond, more Microsoft products such as Office, are supported. Mobile versions of Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint are standard available. One great advantage of this HTC, compared to several other mobile phones, is the fact that it is not just a viewer that is available. You can edit your files with the HTC Diamond and send the edited file immediately through mail, without the need for a computer. PowerPoint presentations are displayed on full screen in landscape mode which even makes the text perfectly readable. Extremely handy to go through a presentation before arriving at your destination.
HTC Touch standby time
H TC includes a 3.7V, 900mAh Lithium Ion battery with the Touch Diamond. This battery should offer a maximum standby time of 285 hours and a talk-time of over 5 hours. These are common specifications, however, a phone like this combined with all the functions it offers, requires recharging once every two or three days. And if you use the digital camera, Internet and the music player frequently, you may have to recharge the battery on a daily base. In that case I'd suggest purchasing a travel charger or a second battery together with the phone.
