I dont understand why gsmarena calls it weird. Actually i liked it. But i think HTC could have omitted the QWERTY and made it a simple windows standard phone with a touch of the "diamond" design on the back side (this phone already has it)

              @HTC:
              please read the manual book about:
              "how to create wider screen phones"
              don't watch TV show about:
              "how to create wider pad phones"

                    If I bought this (I've got a S710), I would regret it sooo much; What would you think, everytime you saw a Touch Pro...

                        touch diamond with a keypad and adding the qwerty keyboard imatiting sony ericsson's xperia x1. by the way, when x1 will be realesed, it will be outdated. i hope it will not be the final specs of that phone.

                          a camera flash would be great though.

                              HTC can make UI software, but what's up with their phones. Let's ride on the success of the Diamond by adding a keyboard, then let's make the Pro better by adding a number pad. More is not always better.

                                I love it....It has a classical simple look and suits an ordinary person that does not require top end, cutting edge technology... it has the neccessary functionality for a day to day activities... 7/10

                                  and Apple? iphone. ipod, isomething etc all same design... LOL!!! crap i can say...

                                  Look close same design, different colors etc.
                                  That doesnt matter at all.
                                  HTC is coming up... way to go!!! cheers!!!

                                  Note; No other previous brands who had Windows OS did nothing half-near of what HTC did. HTC-Windows Great Partnership.

                                    I kinda like it, nice numerical keypad but that screen is gonna be small to 'qwerty' on!

                                    hope its not too thick also..

                                      In the HTC diamond series, this is LOVE ... kinda. I'd love this one without the Qwerty keyboard. The phone looks long but i like my phone long :D
