It is a mistress in handhelds!

Feb 1, 2009

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Looks sexy, very slim, matches your clothes easily, 3.5G, in-built Youtube software, Touchflo interface, very customizable through 3rd party mods.
Cons: Slow interface, not very user friendly if not modded, music player in Touchflo hangs when there is too many music files, web browser limitation.
Opinion:
I had the Diamond for about 7 months before I write this review. So it is not an impression that I will give you, but rather a truthful presentation of how the phone actually worked for me.

Like many others, I bought the Diamond after much research, and because we failed to resist the seduction of its looks. However, after using it for several months and exploiting almost every mods there is, I have come to a conclusion that it is like a mistress (looks and feels good in your hands, but never really helped you MUCH in your everyday life).

Pros:
1) Comes with almost all wireless connectivity, except for infrared.

Pros: Looks Cool, good sized screen, wifi connectivity and GPS
Cons: Battery life is appalliing, Touch screen is unresponsive and ring volume is too low
Opinion:

The ring volume is too low, the touch screen is unresponsive when it should respond and too responsive when it shouldn't. I was forever disconnecting calls because my face had touched the screen or receiving call backs because i had inadvertently dialed a number whilst the phone was in my pocket or bag. I had to resort to third party firmware updates to resolve the issues, and these only resulted in other problems.

... and as for the battery life ... My God, what were they thinking. In order to get half a days use of the phone, i had to disable virtually everything. That meant disabling, bluetooth, wifi, beam, just about everything but the phone. And even then i had to resort to ... Read more
