HTC Touch Diamond preview: First look

Gsmarena posted their preview of the HTC Touch Diamond. Here is their final impression.

Windows Mobile devices have never been good in taking photos so we were also wondering how the Touch Diamond would fare in this respect. Here are several camera samples for you to enjoy.

You can see for yourselves that the HTC Touch Diamond doesn't really shine in the camera department just as expected. It's good for a Windows Mobile device, but the contrast levels are too low (maybe because a too small lens was used) and the color balance is not always correct.

Well, this certainly was a quick preview but we had a really limited timeframe. We are really excited about the HTC Touch Diamond and we are already actively working on a full-blown review for your (and our) enjoyment.

So far the prospects are good - it's compact, it seems capable (save for a few interface lockups that we experienced) and it surely does look the part. The HTC Touch Diamond is among the most feature-loaded handsets to date and represents the most evolved Windows Mobile product when it comes to touch input (nope, we won't let the iPhone impose on our conclusion too). So overall, we really hope that the Touch Diamond will meet our expectations (which are already going through the ceiling.) Nice weekend to you all!
