The HTC Touch Diamond2 T5353 is the next step in the evolution of the successful HTC Touch Diamond.The HTC Touch Diamond2 includes a microSD card slot for extra storage.
The HTC Touch Diamond2 T5353 incorporates a larger 3.2-inch high-resolution wide-screen VGA display.The HTC Touch Diamond2 includes a new touch sensitive zoom bar for even faster zooming of Web pages, emails, text messages, photos or documents.
The biggest change with the design of the Touch Diamond2 T5353 smartphone comes in the form of a larger display: the 3.2in touch screen dwarfs the original Touch Diamond's 2.8in display, though the specifications are the same aside from the size. Gone is the Diamond-etched rear casing, replaced by a flat glossy black battery cover that is just as prone to fingerprints as the original. The HTC Touch Diamond2 T5353 has a more professional look than the original Diamond; it's slightly larger and thicker and the silver edging gives it more of a business feel than the glossy black casing of its predecessor. The other main difference is the absence of a navigational pad. HTC has replaced this with what it calls a "touch zoom bar" below the screen. Sliding your finger across the bar zooms in and out of a number of applications including the preloaded Opera Web browser and Google Maps. Answer and end call keys, as well as a Start button and back key sit below the zoom bar, while side-mounted volume controls and a power key on top round out the controls.
The TouchFLO 3D interface again features on the Touch Diamond2 T5353 smartphone and this time it's zippy and functional as well as being visually superb.For access to the rest of the Touch Diamond2's functions, a row of icons sit in a tabbed interface across the bottom of the screen. You press down on the active tab and slide your finger left or right across the tabs to cycle through menu selections, including a comprehensive settings menu. If you do need to use the Start menu, HTC Touch Diamond2 T5353 allows you to customise 24 shortcut boxes that offer quick access to commonly used programs; gone is the regular Windows Mobile Start menu that required the use of the stylus.
