Do I need to say anymore! I am unboxing the HTC Diamond all day today and fielding questions. You dont want to miss this!!!! This HTC Diamond is the first production unit in a consumers hands!! I will also be able to field questions live!!

Please note we just got the unit so this space will be updated regularly so be sure to check back often!

I wish there was some hack or anything to fix that coverage problem.

Totally agree Phys.. But the laggyness stinks and the call quality is extremely poor.

I am surprised at the laginess, really. I mean what happened to the hardware graphics accelerator. HTC really botched this one up, nothing new there with the slow video issues on new devices from them.

Regarding the 3G coverage, that is a given. This thing is not targeted, nor advertised to work in US market.

900 bucks for a laggy device that's a hell of alot slower than the Cruise? And you busted my chops? :) The Cruise seems like a speed demon compared to that piece of junk.

It looked awesome. Can't wait to see your full review of the device.

I missed the live video... I'll be waiting for your review. Hopefully, you got the dock with the audio out as well.

While waiting for Dave to put up his usual high quality pics/vids/reviews, my buddies over at HoFo posted some pics of the Diamond compared to the Cruise and Tytn II. Some pics are blurry but good enough to see.
