If it is are our first take on the HTC Touch Diamond that you are after, then you’ll find it all in our special write-up. The thing is, we are going to omit this part in the today's article, which will be rather a quick run-through, a round-up after a day of quality time with the Diamond. Also we are going to answer some frequently asked questions about the Touch Diamond at the end. Without further ado, here goes. The main material employed in the Touch Diamond’s design is plastic – the rear is decked out in snazzy glossy plastic, although its utilitarian merits are thin on the ground (which is something we always grumble about). The back cover is the epitome of “fingerprint-magnet”, plus it will pick up scuffs and scratches with time, which is also a generic trait of this type of surfaces. But speaking of wear and tear, it is worth noting that with its Diamond HTC is following in the footsteps of Nokia in many ways, offering the market a fashion-conscious solution (even if running Windows Mobile) and realizing that users are very likely to overlook some glitches as long as it retains a unique style and face. The glossy surface is exactly that sacrifice of substance in favor of style. The complex edgy surface of the rear, contrary to the popular opinion, isn’t just a visual effect – there are numerous facets and edges over there indeed. The front fascia is composed of a plastic part at the base (the navigation cluster) and glass coating the display, which proves to be quite responsive both when using the stylus and fingers. However, it’s a bit too early to say our final word on its sensitivity – by the Diamond’s release date this parameter may well get tuned in some ways. The side-frame of the phone’s casing is in fact all metal, painted in black.
