_it00.jpg) For whatever else we might say about the HTC Touch Diamond on Sprint, we can finally declare that HTC has gotten the responsive touch interface to feel right. It isn't perfect, no phone is, but the TouchFLO 3D interface that HTC has set atop Windows Mobile 6.1 is unique and delightful, and best of all it's a useful business interface. Multimedia is something of a letdown, a surprise on a phone with 4GB of internal memory and a VGA screen. The onscreen keyboard, too, needs some work on an evolutionary scale, much as the HTC Touch evolved into this Touch Diamond. Most important to us, though, is that HTC hasn't skimped on hardware, and the phone packs power where it counts, especially in the fast networking and Web browsing, the aforementioned dazzling display and the loads of features, including Wi-Fi, GPS navigation and everything we'd expect from a super-smartphone. Release: September 2008. Price: $350.
Pros: Sparkling, responsive interface with useful shortcut features. VGA screen. Fast networking helps the speedy Web browser. 4GB internal storage.
Cons: Keyboard is still a pain to use, which makes messaging and productivity apps more difficult. Reception problems hurt data-intensive services, like video streaming.
