HTC Touch Diamond 2 Review

HTC Touch Diamond has prepared a great success and raised awareness of the smartphone manufacturer, clearly. With the excellent touch screen and the finest hardware, it was HTCs top model in fiscal year 2008. The sequel to Touch Diamond 2 will build on this success, again with a brilliant touch screen and promising hardware. Has always been directed mainly to HTC business users and uses the Diamond 2 wiehderhohlt Windows Mobile. But even apart from the claims deadline and contact management needs, is the one on the HTC TouchFlo 3D chic interface and gifts from the other, Diamond 2, some multimedia features.

But the competition has a lot to offer, often with well-adapted, proprietary operating systems, specifically to the functions are abgestimt. Like HTC, the combination of business and multimedia smartphone succeed and whether the Diamond 2 even for the masses is attractive, this review should be clarified.



Packaging, design and processing

In a simple, elegant in black cardboard is held the 2nd Diamond On the front is emblazoned an image of the smartphones on the back, the potential buyer to admire the technical data. Inside lies beside headset, charger and USB cable, the object of desire. Very noble acts, the Touch Diamond 2 at first glance and is also in spite of dimensions 107.9 x 53 x 13.7 mm well in hand.

About the touchscreen, the appearance of fine piano-framed, is the HTC logo, a small camera for video telephony and the speaker. Below you will find 4 buttons to answer and reject calls, a Windows key and the Back button. The front is enclosed by a metal bar, resulting in good visual impression of the Diamond 2 contributes. On the back of the piano again dominated optics, just at the top of the camera by a triangular metal covers. At the top is the Power button on the left side and the volume buttons on the bottom of the USB microphone, and the conclusion.



Simple elegance, so can the look of the Diamond 2 easiest to describe. seems only a matter of time until dust and dirt ingress into the enclosure, because the opening for the camera is a simple borehole without cover. So in the description of the process, unfortunately, just the simple word left, a right to the elegance, quality remains a bit on the track.

With a razor-sharp resolution of 480x800 pixels and a convincing color is the 3.2 inch large display of first-class quality. Based on the Windows Mobile operating system, the color palette is limited in theory to 256,000 colors, but not further disturbed. It is a resistive Touchsreen, the operation with your finger is slightly awkward, because you have much more pressure on the touchscreen practice. At least when writing is but one way or the stylus due to fading of keyboard is simply too small to continue with the fingers to be able to be serviced. As in Diamond 2 a tray for a stylus is integrated, it does not bother further, with the same in return, you can very accurately navigate through the menus.

Below the display, the touch-sensitive area, but still, there is a bar, with one in photography, surfing, or the reputation of images can be zoom, a very elegant solution. The four keys below are within easy reach and in darkness, thanks to the lighting to see well.

At the start screen in big numbers is the time to see which you can find missed calls and upcoming appointments. At the bottom of the screen is a sort of quick launch bar which allows you to quickly switch between tasks such as the browser, calendar, or the camera, by wiping with a finger can change.



When printing the Windows key or the corresponding icon in the top bar opens a menu with big icons, there are all sorts of applications link. Here we quickly noticed the HTC's own TouchFlo 3D interface, the HTC anywhere on the original Windows Mobile interface has. Thus, despite the appearance elderly Mobile Windows well abreast of competition. The surfaces are characterized by a dark appearance, and fits well with the elegant design of the Diamond 2. Delays in the operation are almost impossible to identify, even scrolling through the list is very fluid. So should a Touch Phone behaved, despite the resource-hungry Windows Mobile Diamond 2 react in most situations very quickly and almost without delay, either when navigating or start applications.

Multimedia

Although the Diamond 2 is not necessarily primarily a multimedia smartphone, so it still has a lot in this field to offer. Most applications can be relevant on the shortcut bar at the bottom of the screen to start. The music player can handle well. Not only the forward within a track, thanks to the touchscreen operation very easy, even scrolling through the music collection is acceptable. About the "library" can be reached from the current track, the music collection. Instead of the programs in the Quick Launch bar to switch between different now then ordered lists. This allows an easy exchange between artists, albums, genres, etc., created playlists, or even an overview of all titles. You can also always visible on a button at any time to change the current title. Here is the cover shows, the play / pause button, the time of the title bar and two buttons to the previous or next track. Alternatively, by universities and slide the cover down to other tracks be changed. Headphones can plug due to the lack of just about the miniUSB connector can be connected. The supplied headset produces a horrible sound, but the integrated speakers are not too bad, just the bass here is clearly to be desired.

Through the "Photos and Videos" in the Quick Launch toolbar takes you to the gallery. Here you can see all the pictures and video. As they seem to send animation on a pile on the ground, and by brushing with a finger so you can switch between the images, unfortunately not always redundant. When viewing the images in full, you can just go through the images. Through the album, the photos and videos also reduced as a raster display monitor, here you can also wallpapers, or videos, or camera images can be sorted.

Apart from the simple solitaire games and Bubble Breaker is still a very fun and innovative games on the Diamond 2 preinstalled. "Teet" uses the precise movement of the sensor Diamond 2, so the player steers by tilting the Touchphones a marble through a maze with obstacles.

Camera

The cell phone camera are getting better over time and so there is already conventional compact cameras for a growing competition, HTC has also upgraded and the 3 MP camera of the first Touch Diamond exchanged. On the reverse, the Diamond 2 is a 5 MP camera, but without any flash. Bad is not the camera, just for a cellphone camera, the 8 MP is not the trend is followed, it can be seen, there are criticisms anyway. Interior shots are not too nice, which is mainly due to a problem with all mobile phone cameras have to struggle, the small light sensors.



Browsing

Mobile Internet is in itself a practical matter, only the enjoyment often fails to browsers or operating difficulties of mobile phones. The HTC Touch Diamond 2 has none of these problems, it solves the contrary, those outstanding. As a browser, the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser is used. Together with the operation via the touch screen is not much of a full PC for mobile surfing are missing. About all the latest technologies, you can connect to on the World Wide Web, offering good conditions, the speed can not be desired. About double tap zooms you a place in the scale overview of a web site up and vice versa, again, alternatively, the more precise with the zoom bar below the screen. Even browsing with several tabs works very well, only the change between these is not entirely solved optimally. So you have to have an icon in a list einblendbaren until all tabs can be displayed. For a smartphone, this is properly resolved, the tab browsing on the home PC is much easier here, but from the hand. By tapping on an input surface, the keyboard appears. In the landscape, which unfortunately only available in the browser is a little tact even the letter with your finger is possible.

Organizer

Although the Diamond 2 with lots of multimedia potential ones, business users are still a large audience. With the basis of Windows Mobile can be found in things Organizer features are not much wrong, so do not HTC. The contact management is the Touch Diamond 2 model, the potential to store information are endless. The contact summary, according to the alphabetical order, alternatively you can also by clicking the last call Show or Favorites. In the overview of a contact can be directly call logs and view all the SMS or e-mail exchange group.
Voice quality and battery

The voice quality in Diamond 2 is perfectly OK but could be better. The conversation partner is good to understand, even if it sounds a bit dull. But he has no comprehension problems. The 1100 mAh battery is obviously an absolute minimum, which in such a Touch Phone to be installed. Users who frequently use multimedia features or large phone can rely on daily store set at an average usage, the Touch Diamond 2 but also after 48 hours back on charger.

Conclusion

Not only HTC Touch Diamond 2 looks nice, but also the inner values also good. With the HTC Diamond 2 is a balancing act between business and multimedia-phone-phone succeeded. For both groups it has to compete with something. In the multimedia field can be comparable smartphones, however, often offer much more, at least in terms of quality music, camera and games. The organizer functions but are likely to satisfy each customer and are currently seeking their peers. The hotel's own TouchFlo 3D interface is perfectly managed and HTC expands Windows Mobile sense. The operation is Windows Mobile 6.1, despite a very thought out design, only the fact that the finger-friendly keyboard in landscape mode only usable while browsing is a Wehrmutstropfen. Even the battery is too weak a somewhat tarnished the overall image. Nevertheless, the HTC Touch Diamond 2, a successful development of its predecessor and a teaser for the competition.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic review

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in the past year - this is a significant event not only for Nokia, but for the market as a whole. It is this device sets a new trend, which has not previously been seen by anyone: low-cost sensors. Let me remind you this was before a very affordable LG KP500 and Samsung S5230 Star, for example. It was after, and the huge demand for Nokia 5800 and began to appear such solutions from other manufacturers. Now, by the way, these machines hit record sales, but this segment has become the fastest growing, promising and profitable. Nokia 5530 XpressMusic - is not its direct continuation, a simplified version of 5800, which is addressed is not the owner of this machine, and all those things it is not arranged.


Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Specification:
  • Connectivity: GSM 850/900/1800/1900
  • Memory: 90 MB available user slot microSD, complete map for the 4 GB
  • Screen: 2.9 "(touch-sensitive, resistive), QHD (360h640), 16M
  • Communications: USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, supports A2DP, Wi-fi 802.11 b / g
  • Camera: 3.2 MP (until 2048h1536), Autofocus, flash, video (VGA 30 fps)
  • Battery: BL-4U, capacity - 1000 mAh (up to 5 hours talk, 336 hours standby before)
  • Dimensions: 104 x 49 x 13 mm
  • Weight: 107 g

Comparison with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

This is the main point in the review, since 5530 focuses including those who for some reason did not buy at one time the senior staff, because of cost, for example. Nokia 5530 convenient to lay in his hand, is thinner, much smaller, but it is possible to reach a smaller screen. In the main body is metal (the front panel), the design became more interesting. Let's see, what else has changed in the new model compared to the predecessor:

  • The screen has become smaller, 2.9 inch to 3.2
  • All buttons - touch that did not affect the comfort
  • Connectors have been transferred from the upper end of the lower
  • Lower-capacity battery, 1000 mA * h against 1320
  • Single LED flash to double
  • No support for 3G, third generation networks
  • No embedded GPS module
  • Now the kinetic scrolling lists
  • Auto mode QWERTY-keyboard when rotating the phone
  • A redesigned desktop (panel contacts and labels are combined, up to 20 contacts on your desktop)
  • 4 GB memory card in the set to 8

Basic distinction, the most critical could be the lack of GPS and a smaller amount of battery life, smaller screen, but do not forget that this new smaller, cheaper.

Design


Design of apparatus made in the vein, the last line of devices XpressMusic, in particular, 5730. Basically, a plastic casing, but with the use of metal point drawing on the back surface, a bright strip that runs along the perimeter. Very good build quality, front panel of anodized aluminum, nice colors for its price category turned out good, it is fully consistent with the positioning.

Two colors - black and white, but with a different color face strips. There are bright blue, yellow, pink, red, serene gray. In general, for every taste. Nokia 5530 looks even stronger, more expensive than 5800, thanks to all the metal performance. Plus materials seem durable, plastic will not abrade.



In comparison with 5800 was reduced screen, now it is 2.9 inches diagonal (65h39 mm) to 3.2 inches and 38h70 mm predecessor. In fact, the screen and determine the dimensions of the phone significantly less than 5530. The screen is stretched in length, has a 16:9 aspect ratio, resolution 640h360 points - then nothing has changed. The display looks like the best of all, this ratio resulted in a very small width of the device. The screen is not recessed into the body, that is implicit in finger control, however, and a stylus, which is hidden in the body.



On the left are two slots, cover a single plug. One - a memory card, second card SIM. On the other side - the volume keys and camera button and the slider lock. It is a large, ribbed, excellent, there is a finger, you can manage without looking. For convenience this solution better than the usual key lock, like in the Samsung touch phones, or LG. In the lower end is a standard set of Nokia: microUSB connector with the plug, turn off the key and the 3.5 mm jack for a headset. Location 3.5 mm Jack as comfortable, does not cause any inconvenience.
