HTC are probably best known round the world for making Windows Mobile phones, and their Touch series of handsets has become one of the most popular Windows-based brands of mobile. The latest addition to that product range is the HTC Touch Diamond2.
HTC are well known for adding their own custom interface to Windows Mobile phones, called TouchFLO, and the HTC Touch Diamond2 also benefits from
having that interface built in. This sits on top of the standard Windows interface, and makes the phone much easier to navigate round. The main way it does this is with the swipe bar at the bottom of the homescreen. Switching between different features of the HTC Touch Diamond2 is simply a case of swiping a finger along that bar, allowing you to move easily between the main homescreen, the email screen, the music player and so on. You can also customise this bar, to include whichever shortcuts you use the most, and the HTC Touch Diamond2 will adapt itself to your needs.
Beneath the interface on the HTC Touch Diamond2 is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and it brings its own set of useful features with it. Email and information management are particularly well done, and syncing the HTC Touch Diamond2 up to your email accounts is simple and quick. If you want to use the HTC Touch Diamond2 for work purposes, then it also includes the full version of the Office Mobile suite, which lets you use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and PDF viewer.
The HTC Touch Diamond2 also has more features designed to for fun instead of productivity. It features a 5 megapixel camera, with touch focus, letting you take sharp, clear photos in seconds. The music player is also of top quality, and produces exceptional sound.
The internet on the HTC Touch Diamond2 is a particularly good experience. The phone features both HSDPA and WiFi, ensuring that you always have a fast connection speed, but the web browser itself is what make the experience so good, as the HTC Touch Diamond2 uses Opera Mobile 9.5. This is regarded by many as one of the best mobile browsers on any phone, and with smooth touch scrolling and zooming, it makes web quick and incredibly easy to navigate. The list of useful features is completed with the inclusion of GPS in the HTC Touch Diamond2.
The combination of power, usability and sleek looks makes the HTC Touch Diamond2 one of the nicest smartphones you can buy.
