HTC Touch Diamond2 review: Director’s cut

30 April 2009
HTC Touch Diamond2 is next on our roll call of MWC debuts but this time it’s less about the brand spanking novelty and more about balanced and sensible upgrades. People tend to have second thoughts about...

                    Actually, this is probably the best phone on the market as far as price / ratio is concerned.

                    Its price has gone down considerably and it is a handy phone, not too bulky, with a brilliant, crisp and vivid high resolution screen, full of great specs which will stand the test of time.

                    Obviously, this is not the world's best phone.
                    Better phones are constantly coming out, so you have to make your decisions according to the moment when you're buying and the money you have/wish to spend.

                    That is why this phone is great. I admit it should have a 3.5mm audio jack and that is a serious fault, but other than that, it does everything you need, it allows you to watch movies, enjoy your songs, take quite good occasional photos and use GPS, all in a very handy "package".

                    As I've mentioned, the screen is great and you have loads & loads of software to load...

                    So, as far as Software and OS are concerned, you've got LOTS & LOTS of compatible applications, games and GPS Programmes, and,
                    the last, but by no means, the least, you've got...

                    ... where you can exchange experiences, opinions, learn A LOT and personalise your phone in a way you wouldn't imagine! :)

                    That is why I own an HTC Diamond2 and I'm really very happy with it!!!

                      AVOID HTC MOBILES!!!!
                      The worst customer service, the worst mobiles! burn pixels on new mobiles from the first day I opened the box, big delays in everything you want to do with the mobile, after 3 months the mobile stuck and it couldn't get the signal from my provider no one could call me and I couldn't call at the end after 8 months the whole screen stuck and I couldn't even see my calls and contacts or send a message! The service in Greece is not take over the responsibility the only thing they are doing is to fix the damage and send me back the same mobile after 2 times service, 1 hard reset and 2 soft resets! No one from the company could help me to solve the problem! I lost all my contacts and emails 3 times! I charge my account several times for hours trying to speak with their service and no one was able to help!!!! The only the can do again is to fix the damage and send me back the same device after 3 huge problems I faced with it in less than a year!
                      It is like I put 460 euros in the garbage!!! Do not hesitate to contact me for any further info! PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!
                      My mobile was the HTC DIAMOND 2.

                            Hi,i'm thinking of buying a new HTC smartphone as i have never been a HTC user before.Can i know which smartphone is better, HTC Touch Diamond 2 or HTC touch 2? i saw the previous comments of HTC TD2 and it seems that many people are not quite satisfy with this phone as compare to HTC touch 2 quite a number of people suggest others to buy that phone. i'm thinking of buying HTC TD2 more than HTC touch 2 just because of the bigger screen size. can someone give me some suggestions? Thanks:)

                                I had the same problem with the numbers not recognized.
                                I solved it only by a hard reset. Take care that you loose all your customizations. I had 2-3 numbers not recognized: my boss (!) and a beautiful blond :).
                                I had my contacts synchronized by Active Sync first. I strongly suggest that you do so.
                                Daniel

                                  The phone has a magnetic stylus, in your review it says it does not.

                                      I'm having a seriously concerning problem with my touch diamond 2 (which is 4 days old)...

                                      It won't recognize messages sent, and calls received from numbers that I have saved under my contacts - when i receive a call or a text from these individuals the caller identity simply labels it as a new number, even though it's already saved on the phone! - and this problem isn't even consistent, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't!
                                      s, some

                                      Not sure whether this is a WinMo problem, or an issue specifically of this handsets - but its an incredibly poor problem, which needs resolving.

                                        "And you can't set an alarm and then turn the phone off, (like the Nokia's). The phone has to stay on, wasting 7-8hrs of battery, in order for the alarm to wake you up"

                                        Really?!?

                                        My original diamond, and come to think of it every Win Mo device I've owned, can do this - I would be extremely surprised if HTC dropped the ball like that on the Diamond 2. Suggest you read the manual...
