Hey Phoenix,

The reason I removed your comment was that it was too aggressive not to say a bit offending.

It's true that my review was not based on days with the device, and I mentioned it couple of times.
I accept some of your critics, but I wish you would have said it more nicely.

Believe it or not, I'm actually a Windows Mobile fan. But it doesn't mean I have to like every new device HTC releases, and it doesn't change the fact that I was dissapointed with the Diamond.

As I wrote, this is a beautiful device, but I still think it misses practical features I'm used to, maybe the Touch Pro is the answer...

My R&D Manager once told me that a good UI is one that is self explanatory, people don't like reading manuals. I really think that the UI is not intuitive enough.

When you first boot the device you get a tutorial. With this, most people would be able to get on totally well. I accept you didn't see this.

You can't review properly on a device you see for 20 minutes, and that you don't tweak the settings on to the way you want to use it. That's a hands on. Linking to it as a hands on... I would not have been so critical if you had done this.

and i still don't understand why you would complain about lack of a physical keyboard and then recommend an iPhone rather than a Touch Pro
