    People ... u guys need to stop comparing the HTc with the iphone.. they are meant for different end users.. the iphone is a chic phone.. The Htc is a PDA/smart phone.. have u guys even checked out the freeware that u can download and run on the touch series.. i have an HTc touch and it runs like a dream.. Have so far loaded some 4000 contacts, back up of contacts/calender/email/data sync on windows mobile center.. loaded some hazaar shit/good softwares.. squeezed out precious storage /programme space.. unistalled the stupid softwares.. dropped it at the beach.. cleared storage.. now its a brand new phone, whew.....am waiting for the pro or the diamonds price to drop & i will definitely buy it... No comparision to any phone...if any body is having trouble in service or software issues,in mumbai or say queries as to how to move around the phone.. do write in.. only one condition.. u need to be a techie.. i dont have time for rookies.. if u don't have use for a PDA dont buy one!!

    I have a HTC touch diamond phone, my problem is that battery is fast depleting, though all applications were closed, i have purchased a new battery from HTC stores, but the problem remained same, can you suggest any alternative battery, so that it can last longer time.

    HTC Touch Diamond is totally different than Samsung F480, HTC Diamond is Business Phone, whereas F480 is not, F480 does'nt has 3D and Wifii, However F480's camera is 5 megapixel & HTC's 3.5

    This launch might give a wake up call to apple to launch their IPhone in india, This launch might affect the IPhone's sales in india as Apple haven't launched the IPhone yet. Saw its demo videos on a website, pretty impressive phone, its touch flo is not as smooth as IPhone but it has an added advantage of being a Business Phone running on windows.
