Having to choose a contract to a certain phone service brings some advantages and disadvantages. And if you were envying those from Sprint for having in stock HTC Touch Diamond, now it is available for Alltel customers as well. You can buy it for $249.99 if you sign a two-year contract with Alltel. 

And you will want this great design HTC Touch Diamond.



With this touchscreen phone you get Bluetooth, Windows Mobile 6.1, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 3.2 megapixels camera. HTC considers this model to be the most important this year. It has a 3D interface and the design has much to say, its sleek mirror face and 4 inches tall by 2 inches wide by 0.4 inch deep dimensions make it slim enough to put it in any pocket you have. It also weights just about 3.8 ounces. The display features 2.8” has VGA quality text and the colors are vibrant making images and pictures look great. You can hold the phone either vertically or horizontally as it has an orientation sensor.

The clock is bigger on the Home display and on the bottom you have a toolbar from where you can launch applications (e-mail, camera, music, messages, and files).  For text typing you can use the screen keyboard and choose from full QWERTY and compact QWERTY. You have some buttons below the screen for Talk and End and the directional key. On the sides are other controls like the volume rocker on the left and the USB port and stylus on the bottom.  On top there is the power button and the camera is located on the back of the phone.



It is a smartphone having the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition. Other features include a PDF reader, task manager, Zip manager, calculator and a voice recorder. The internal memory is 4GB, there is a large storage and you can add up photos, music files, applications to fill it up. And you must know that this is the limits as it does not support any expansion possibilities. The address book is limited, you can add up 250 contacts but for each entry you can add 12 other phone numbers, contact information and you can pair up in groups and also set a ringtone for each and even pictures. As for web browser it has Opera, works smooth and loads up the pages pretty quickly. You have access and can watch YouTube videos also.  For real-tracking you have GPS giving directions and you can use Wi-Fi hot spots to find you location faster. The HTC Touch Diamond has a 3.2 megapixels review with 4x zoom optic and you can record videos. You can choose from five photo resolutions and set the brightness. Pictures taken look clear with bright colors.



Some say that the call quality is not a strength point and they were a bit disappointed. It has a 528MHz Qualcomm processor and it takes a bit opening certain applications. The battery (900mAh lithium ion) does score pretty big, 5.5 hours in talk time and 11 days in stand by. But having so many applications, camera, bid screen the battery drains out quickly. All in all it has its good and bad points depending on how you see them.
