Katherine Boehret at the Wall Street Journal wrote that the HTC Touch Diamond’s screen is smaller than the iPhone and lacks multitouch, and found using the screen keyboard with a stylus “next to impossible.” It ” failed to disguise the frustrating interface of Windows Mobile.” She found the video footage to be adequate. The web browser from Opera is not full HTML and renders to fit the screen but is mainly text.The accelrometer for flipping views worked in most applications except for the web browsing. “HTC’s Touch Diamond doesn’t hide the outdated operating system well enough or often enough for a user to want to buy a whole new mobile device.”
