The Diamond has been with me now for about two weeks and I have reached a verdict: Fail.
I had very high hopes for the Diamond; I wanted it to wipe the smile off Apple’s face, and be a proper competitor to the unstoppable iPhone. But alas it isn’t. It has too many flaws to be a competitor, and to be honest it has too many flaws full stop.
Performance for me is the big one. As I said in my Part 2 instalment, the Diamond is sluggish and unresponsive doing pretty much anything, be it using TouchFLO 3D or just opening the Start Menu. Yep, it lags doing that too. I have been repeatedly visiting the HTC e-Club website in hopes of finding a new ROM release, a patch, something, ANYTHING, to speed this thing up, but nada.
