The battery is on par with my sedna (not overly spectacular then) and as far as comparing it to the iphone... Soooo many more apps and games to play with when your bored. It's not perfect but in 12 months time new contract, newer phone. Firstly the diamond uses a standard usb connection, not HTC specific.

My solar chargers usb conn does not fit the HTC Diamonds.<br /> I do find it a very good Mini Mob PC and all aspects of connectivity is good. The size is impressive and fits in the top pocket. It remains to be seen whether it will physically last the rigours of travel.<br /> <br /> I Like it very much. and I have had A Nokia E90 which I drowned a few weeks ago. Not as tough, but appart from the on board GPS of the 90, a bettr phone for me Yes, the battery life sucks and it could do with Non HTC specific usb port.

I have 3 questions.<br /> 1 - where is the business card scanner the sales lady spoke of? 2 - If you insert a Cell-C SIM card how do you get Internet on GPRS/Edge as they dont support 3G, and 3 - when the screen gets scratched how do you fix or replace it ?<br /> Thanks,<br /> Mike I have used a Diamond for 3 weeks now – it is such a lousy phone that my Vodacom business SIM is back in the good old companies Nokia 6300.
But it is a decent PDA. I have 3 questions.
1 – where is the business card scanner the sales lady spoke of? 2 – If you insert a Cell-C SIM card how do you get Internet on GPRS/Edge as they dont support 3G, and 3 – when the screen gets scratched how do you fix or replace it ?
Thanks,
Mike

Rob is not comparing which one is better, he's just telling us his experience and sharing it with us. Anyway, thanks alot for sharing with us Rob, really having a headache which phone i should buy.

It's like everyone thinks it's an iPhone rip, while apple just took the next logical step a few months AFTER the rest. And packed it in a nice defective package, as is usual with apple. Please, please stop comparing EVERYTHING with a touchscreen to the iPhone. Why does every phone with touchscreen need to be compared to the iPhone?
