Well done HTC, nice COPY of the iPhone!! Windows Mobile? Do you get mcafee with it?

And i am the idiot,yes gutter47 is whit you. what i mean is that ok it is maybe a copy in the “touch whit your finger” part(windows phones have had touch screen since 2002), but it have like 100000 features more than the iphone, so i will go whit IMPROVE copy that at least do more than my nokia S60 and yes my nokia do more than iphone.
Pd. video app store, are you stu…well yes everibody know that, who the F will buy videos from “video app store”, emule, torrent, ares and they are all free.

your a complete idiot and don’t know what your talking about.

MMS: that is on the way for the iPhone, although the timeframe is unknown. i give you that tho.
(HTC 1, iPhone 0)

Sharing: iPhone can directly sync both ways (from and to) without needed to be near your computer or transfer device.
(HTC 1, iPhone 1)

Video: App Store is bringing video and HTCs video quality isn’t amazing. Sure, iPhone would have to pay a few bucks, but that’s better then paying 500 more for this phone.
(Still 1-1)

I swear the next person that says X phone is like the iphone should be shot. The iphone is STILL behind in pretty much every field. It’s OS is nice, but capabilities wise it is at least a year behind blackberry etc. Apple is famous for stealing concepts too. They stole from creative, xerox and independent artists. I’m probably going to get the next iphone or this one if it comes with 32gb but FFS the iphone is not original at all.

ok, ive had both phones and ive been a htc lover forever!! However, i enjoy the App store and Installer for iphone.. I have everything i ever needed and MORE! I can do whatever i want.. The Resolution is enough to me to go out and buy the iphone.. Iphone wins for me

ya, and how much you gotta pay for those games? the diamond can emulate nes,snes,sega,atari, playstation im sure you get the drift. yes, a jailbroken iphone can emulate, but doesent have buttons.so the games part goes to diamond, camera, how much you gotta pay the app store for some buggy software? i downloded a few apps from the appstore and noticed some horrible bugs. i love the iphone, but i love this phone more.

Listen to something for a second. Not everyone thinks that the Iphone is the ultimate phone.Truthfully, as of July 12 2008 there is no ulimate phone with every feature that a user wants. Some people want multimedia, some want business, others just want something to make decent calls. With that being said, this could be the first phone to bridge the market gab and combine a great user experience, business intellegence and a rich feature set. Please do not end the review by stating you love iphone

Why call it an Iphone killer? It looks more like an Iphone clone.
xIOhenryOIx on October 3rd, 2008

This phone is great just wait till Htc does something about the lag issue and no u dont need to reboot every hour lmao i bet u tht guy is some hobo who hates Htc ^^
jjerkan on October 3rd, 2008

HTC Diamond looks much more elegant, and it is not a big phone unlike iphone.
uNamed2lyfe on October 3rd, 2008

that was a bad review…im sorry but it was really bad.

however, i still think nokia n95 8gb owns all.
Cheb on October 3rd, 2008

haha! what a snobby bastard this guy is….(even if you took the accent away)
“eh yeah for my money I’m going to stick with the Iphone.”

Hi I have used both iphone htc diamond but I think iphone is a 100% times better phone the htc touch is slow and crap even if you update the rom
Iphone rules the phone market
cursedcloudz on October 3rd, 2008

Idontknowhatname on October 3rd, 2008

ADogWhit on October 3rd, 2008

xxAO2012xx on October 3rd, 2008

htc software looks nice but why don’t they just make there own. Let microsoft make there phones. but I think this might be equal to the iphone
tavogp on October 3rd, 2008

iphone is the best it got apps for a lot of stuff

Touch Diamond got 3g too… WiFi as well… The fact that I need a mac for developing programs to iPhone kinda disrupt things for me… I’ve also read that Safari doesn’t support Flash nor Java.
xXFlamingCookiesXx on October 3rd, 2008

yes but considering that the iphone has edge when you’re running low on battery, 3g when you want faster internet, and WiFi at a hotspot th iphone has reason to be bigger and heavier plus the iphone has a bigger easier to see screen and there isn’t much difference in the thickness CLEAR ENOUGH ! ! !
Profoundness on October 3rd, 2008

Officially one of the stupidest things I’ve read on youtube haha. You do realise exactly how popular Windows Mobile is, right?
jjerkan on October 3rd, 2008

The Diamond measures 102mm in height, is 51mm wide and 11.5mm thick,
whereas the iPhone comes in at 115mm high, is 61mm wide and 11.6mm thick, weighing 135g. The Diamond is a shade lighter, at 110g.

CLEAR ENOUGH?
07thking on October 3rd, 2008

haha, silly mackie, you loose iphone
xXFlamingCookiesXx on October 3rd, 2008

both phones are the same thickness but the iphone has a larger screen than the HTC
