Diamond in hand

[sovalon]

I received the HTC Diamond a few days ago. Visually, the phone is amazing. There are faults though. Below I will list pros and cons with the phone.

Pros:
Screen 640x480 resolution
TouchFlo 3D interface
Screen rotation for pics and web surfing
Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS
3G
Call quailty
Call volume

Cons:
Battery Life - haven't had a full day of a charge yet
Camera - taking a picture on the highest settings takes about 3 seconds and all pics I have taken have had a yellow tint and blurry
Video and Music quailty through speakerphone - very tinny sound comes from the speaker always
Fingerprints
Screen easily scratches
Storage card isn't an option

All in all, my experience has been a decent one. I personally was expecting more from this phone. Especially out of the camera and speaker volume for music and video sound. The call quality was a lot better than I have heard about from pre-release versions. I have not had a lot of time to play with it yet but I will update once I do more testing. It also came loaded with TomTom Navigator 7. It takes around 2-3 minutes to fix a GPS signal everytime I use it. Kind of weird.
