PCWorld has a review of HTC Touch Diamond here. Some highlights:
"Since it is based on Windows Mobile, the Touch includes the full suite of Windows Mobile applications in addition to HTC's own. While this presents you with two media players and two Web browsers, it also means that the Touch Diamond comes preloaded with quite a bit of software (including Outlook Mobile and Office Mobile).
For browsing the Web, you get Internet Explorer Mobile and Opera Mobile. The Opera browser can handle regular Web sites as well as mobile sites--and it can do so over the Sprint EvDO broadband network or over a Wi-Fi network. But like similar smart-phone browsers, it does not include Flash support out-of-the-box.
The Touch Diamond's built-in accelerometer can recognize when you tilt the phone on its side."
The Opera Mobile 9.5 (don't confuse it with Opera Mini 4.1 that Instinct users are waiting for)browser on HTC Touch Diamond is nice and almost as good as iPhone's browser. I recently tested Opera Mobile 9.5 beta (free download here if you have a Windows mobile pocketpc device) on my previous phone PPC-6700 and it is much better than Instinct's browser in its current version. But it had problem displaying a very small number of websites that iPhone browser was able to display better. Overall, if you get Sprint HTC Touch Diamond or iPhone (or Google Android phone in the near future), you are in much better shape than getting Instinct if you are looking for third-party application support and lot of flexibility and power. Instinct is good for basic needs and is much more buggy or probably has memory deficiency issues causing it to lock up.
