It's an HTC Touch Diamond and cost me £40 on a new contract. Also got £150 Quidco back

Yeah, you can run TomTom and loads of other stuff on it. However, and it's a BIG HOWEVER, these phones aren't for everyone. It's Windows Mobile based which means you can muck around and do lots with it, so I'd say unless you like to play, fiddle and do more than just use a phone as a phone, it's not really for you.

Looks great from what I've heard

Might have to consider whatever the equivalent is come contract renewal er next October

If I can get it as a free upgrade might aswell though?

Nothing else out there that interests me at the moment

I'd really suggest looking at one first though Mei. They are so different from most phones you might find it a touch too fiddly. More than happy to let you play with mine next time we meet up (fnnaarrrrr!!!!)

Oooh can I have a fiddle when you come up here too?

So much fnnaarrrr there

Desmo · 25-07-2008, 17:16

Everyone can fiddle, I'm not shy

Another thing I just thought of....these types of phone are not great for battery life, so if that's important to you then it's another thing to be aware of.

Depends how much you use it and what you use.

I don't know how the battery capacity compares to my HTC TyTn, if I'm travelling I'll quite often be reading stuff off the web (graphics off so not much traffic but the screen on all the time) and that'll drain the battery to <70% within 2 hours.

On the other hand, if I'm not using it much I leave it with wi-fi and bluetooth disabled and it'll quite happily run for 5-7 days between charges.

OSPS are doing this with 600mins & unlimited texts for £35 a month on an 18 month contract with £192.50 back by redemption over five claims.

Bit tedious claiming the money back but looks like a storming deal for such a new phone.
