There’s one thing I like the most when I am out working – the pleasure of going to malls between free periods or before going home and window shopping. One of my favorite is the mobile stores where displays of different phones are absolutely enticing. The other day, I thought of checking out the new iPhone 3G as I’ve not seen nor touched it yet. But seemed they don’t put it on display and I didn’t have intention to buy so I did not bother to ask for a preview of the phone. I looked on the display of phones, touching every piece that attracts me, reading its specs or something. Until my attention stopped completely to the sight of a phone which name is unfamiliar to me. I know 4 or 5 names of phones, mostly those familiar and widely used ones. So I held the somewhat slim and sexy phone named HTC Touch Diamond. It’s a touch phone that everybody would want to touch. And the specs are tempting, too.

Jade, once again, thanks for following my comment on your blog ha. Actually, I like your blog. Mine is not yet broken, too. I’m just admiring this touch phone.

Fren,
Actually, a friend in Laoag owns a phone like that. The brand is not as popular as Nokia but I’m telling you, the features are great and the best part is, it’s much cheaper than “branded” units. If I were you, i’ll go for it. It’s not just available in our place because my friend’s unit was sent by an aunt from Germany. The best feature I love about this phone is the sound quality. Superb. Well, I hope this helps you decide.

Jessie, the old models are cheaper now. This one costs as much as the new iPhone. But my phone is quite new, not a year old yet so I don’t want to shift to this one right now. Maybe later.

Mhy,
Ang mahal naman pala fren. Ako rin wag muna. lol! Kasi ang binili ko lately na phone ko eh yung China-made na N99i. Ok naman kahit cheap lang (PhP 5K). If it’s in the league of iPhones, pagiisipan ko ring mabuti. Uunahin ko na muna siguro yung family car namin before a 40-45K CP.

Ack! 40-45K na CP!? Pamasahe ko na yun galing dito papuntang davao. Uuwi na lang ako kesa bumili ng cp na ganyan kamahal.

Hahaha! Nick, I know you’re gadget freak. Go grab it now! I didn’t know it was called Dopod before. Sounds even more unfamiliar to me, hehee.

That looks cool. I never really liked IPhone. I was able to test it during the 1st launched and I’m like, it bored me! No kidding. It was too basic for my taste (yabang no?) I was spoiled by Nokia’s great features. I went with Nokia N95 and I’m still loving it. Anyway, my siesta saturday is up. Come on over and join me. You can also invite your friends. They’ll get free links

Maricris, I always think iPhone is too sossy for me, hahaa! kaya I never wish to have one. I’ve used Nokia once only, now I’m hooked on Sony Ericsson though.

Really a cool phone to Touch.

Sure, it is, Shanker. I’ve touched it already.

My, we share the same interest. I love phones too and I get bored of mine after seeing the newer and prettier ones too. Iphone is pretty, but it doesn’t do much, I wanted it too but after checking the features, I don’t think it’s worth the money.

Farah, I don’t know why I don’t fancy it. I must not be an Apple fanatic.

I too love HTC phones and can’t be bothered getting an iPhone
I heard that the HTC Touch Diamond 2 is just around the corner and it looks much sexier than this! Now..the price. :’(

Michael, I wish I’d told hubby to get an HTC Phone instead, not the SE-Xperia. He kind of regret it.
