Review of HTC
Touch Diamond2 Smartphone
OCWorkbench 24 Apr 2009
HTC Touch Diamond2
HTC Touch Diamond2 is the upgraded, revamped version of the popular Windows
Mobile Touch Diamond. On the new Touch Diamond2, users get a new experience with
the latest TouchFLO 3D interface. HTC has worked with Microsoft to deliver a
more integrated TOuchFlo experience, delivering more consistency consistency
throughout Windows Mobile applications and menus. Focused on making navigation
easier and more intuitive, TouchFLO 3D brings important information to the
top-level user interface, including quick access to people, messaging, email,
photos, music and weather.
HTC Touch Diamond2 together with the business oriented HTC Touch Pro2 also comes
with a "people-centric communication", providing a single contact view that
displays the individual conversation history of contacts regardless of whether
voice, text or email were used. This can be viewed from the contact card or the
in-call screen during a phone conversation, ensuring the latest communication
contact-by-contact is always at hand. This simplifies searching for SMS, emails
through different menus as all can be found under the same contact person.
The HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 introduce HTC’s Push Internet
technology. What it does is that it preloads the web pages based on the schedule
you set for the particular websites. Thus you can read the sites immediately
without much waiting. The waiting time would be much shorter as pages are
preloaded behind the scenes for you.
The HTC Diamond2 does now has a larger 3.2" 640x480 VGA viewing area and is
13.7mm thin. It also comes with a 5 megapixel AF camera, expandable memory,
gravity sensor and an ambient light sensor. It also has a larger battery
capacity of 20% versus the original Touch Diamond. The HTC Touch Diamond2 also
improved over it's sluggish performance over the original HTC Touch Diamond and
added a new touch sensitive zoom bar for even faster zooming of Web pages,
emails, text messages, photos or documents.
According to what we understand, the HTC Touch Diamond2 will
come with the latest Windows Mobile when it is available.
