HTC Touch Diamond vs. Apple iPhone
60
After the huge success of Apple and its new form to take the touchscreen technology, the competitors of the giant are trying to recover the attention of customers by creating products with software simpler and easier to handle only with the fingertips.
The HTC Touch Diamond, codename P3700, is clearly a response to entry of the new iPhone 3G in the european market. With very similar features and a very attractive design, has this diamond hypothesis against the new apple mascot.
It continues to run the Windows Mobile 6 in its core, but this HTC includes the new TouchFLO 3D software that makes its interface very attractive and intuitive, and demonstrates that the iPhone raised the bar in terms of cell phone interface design and function.

i see many reviews and even some characteristics of htc being better than iphone, but we must have in mind the popularity and the support.
I think iphone have more developers and enthusiastics, so we will get more applications for iphone than any other plataform.
an example of this is how the dj mix in the club with iphone :)
