HTC Touch Diamond CDMA - Verizon Review
(XV6950) Score: 43.2 / 100
HTC Touch Diamond CDMA - Verizon is a modest Windows Mobile Professional phone, packed with a 3.2 megapixels back facing camera, a small 2.8 inches resistive display and a good CPU clocking at 528 MHz. We will get a better idea about this device's advantages when we get into specific details.
HTC decided to equip this cellphone with a powerful 528 megahertz CPU, bundled in a Qualcomm MSM7500A chip with just 192 MB RAM.
This cellphone is a bit thick compared to current phones, being as thick as 0.6". This device is 4" long, it just holds a way smaller 2.8" screen. In this case, HTC decided not to care about this phone weight at all, putting together a 4.2 oz product.
HTC designed this device with a very good 2.8" display, and a resolution of 640 x 480 (VGA), making everything look colorful and brightful. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it's not multi-touch.
This cellphone includes WiFi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G connection type, over EV-DO A technologies. This phone doesn't have a SIM card, because it is not a GSM phone and it can connect to CDMA carriers.
This phone only has a 3.2 mega-pixels back side camera. Additionally, the camera has auto-focus.
The HTC Touch Diamond CDMA - Verizon comes with a good 1340 mAh Li-Ion removable battery, which is quite poor for a cellphone like this. HTC says this device has a 4.2 hs talk time and a 350 hs stand by time.
The HTC Touch Diamond CDMA - Verizon also includes a few interesting features as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and Accelerometer.
This phone is very overvalued considering it is sold for 65 dollars, and other similar phones are being sold for much less than that.
