Review Summary

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

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.

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

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.

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.
