Despite my dislike of the Apple iPod when it was first released the iPod did have a fantastic interface and a sleek design. After Apple realised where the market was heading and moved into DRM free technology (The main reason I disliked the iPod) the iPod even began to appeal to me. Then the iPhone was released, another fantastic device.

Most devices plugged as iPod or iPhone killers tend to fail miserably, their interfaces are never as smooth or effective as they try to clone Apples design, they seem to have multiple failings and they fall behind in style.

Therefore it is a shame that when an Mp3 Phone that can finally beat the iPhone or iPod comes out it is at a time when I am finally considering buying an Apple Product.

The HTC Touch Diamond is a Beautiful Gadget. its interface is smooth and intuitive, and while it copies the iPods navigation system it seamlessly integrates the latest Mobile Phone specifics required by todays modern Gadget driven society.

The HTC Touch Diamond includes a 3.2 megapixel camera, 3G and a newly designed interface allowing for easier navigation and use.

While the phone itself will not be available until June many shoppers are keeping their eyes peeled for the distinctive backing similar to Nokia’s Prism Casing.

Its Touch screen display is surprisingly good, and seems to somehow become error free for even the more clumsy of people such as myself.

The inbuilt web browser renders webpages perfectly, allowing you to easily surf the internet from your phone, the Touch Diamonds touch screen is immensely useful here, especially with inbuilt Google Maps and Youtube applications!

I really liked this phone but alas it had one major flaw, it seems to attract grease like anything. You definately need to keep a cloth handy to keep the screen grease free!

Looks wise though its great, interface wise its brilliant and specs wise it is nigh on unbeatable!

If it wasn’t for the N96 I would e drooling over this phone!
