First Impressions of the HTC Diamond
I was fortunate enough to get my hands on an HTC Diamond from Tadd Rosenfeld of msmobiles.com. One of the things that I like most about the community of bloggers and podcasters is that they work together and help each other. Tadd was kind enough to send me this device that was given to him to try out, and after a few initial hours, here are my impressions.
1. Speed: What the heck is going on HTC? The device reminds me of using my original Motorola Q. It seems to only register some of the key presses I make, and there are these random pauses all the time that are annoying to say the least. I constantly find myself pressing the screen multiple times because I think the original press didn’t work, and of course then it closes the box underneath the one I was trying to close as well. There are some odd things going on with this Touch Flo 3D, and I don’t know if I am going to get used to it.
2. Battery: Well, I now know how the 900mAh battery is going to hold up. Not well. The thing was only good for about 2.5 hours of me working with it tonight. Granted it was a solid 2.5 hours, but I do a lot of email on my phone and I don’t know if this is going to work out for an entire day. In fact as I was typing this post, the thing just completely shut off. Great, only gave me 1 low battery warning then poof…
3. Enhancements: HTC has added in many enhancements to the OS that seem to be very nice. I like the plethora of programs that are included, a nice touch.
4. Connection: No problems using AT&T on EDGE here in Arizona. Granted, there is only 1900Mhz in the phone for the US, but this is fine for me day to day as we don’t have 850 here. Speeds are decent, but nothing like my Treo. Too bad they didn’t include HSDPA support for 1900/850.
5. Surface: Just looking at the surface of the thing after spending all this time with it and it looks all smeary. Going to be tough keeping it clean. But then again, most devices with the surfaces like this one are.
More to come as I spend more time with it. That is if the battery will hold up long enough to use it.
