TF3D is just a Today screen plugin. It's not an OS. It's a thin interface for doing.. not that much really.

The Diamond is a much, much better phone than the Touch. Better screen, more memory, faster processor, better camera, you name it. TF3D is, to me, a hinderance in comparison to the regular Windows Mobile Today Screen with the right plugins.

TF3D is just one of dozens of Today Screen plugins available. It's flashier and prettier than most, but its functionality is quite limited. It's not an OS - as soon as you need to do anything real you need to leave TF3D anyway. It requires more time and input to accomplish basic tasks than alternatives, so I don't use it.

The Diamond was not "meant for" TF3D. HTC felt the need to create a flashier, more modern Today Screen plugin to sell more phones. That's it.
