Review Summary

The Diamond brings much innovation to the Windows Mobile platform and is a great handheld for both business and entertainment.

Though not perfect, the i780 is an excellent choice for those who want the most features in a sub-S$1,000 PDA-phone.

With more color choices and much better performance due to the increased RAM, the enhanced Touch is what the original should have been to begin with.

The Omnia is a good alternative to the HTC Touch Diamond with a competitive price and a truckload of features, though Samsung does need to work on the interface to improve its consistency and usefulness.

It may not be a quantum leap compared with the 838 Pro, but the TyTN II maintains what power users loved in the previous iteration--with a few extras.
