The HTC Diamond looks pretty good but it will be launched on 29 june (hopefully) and there aren't many apps;
The iPhone it's really nice (and less expensive) but it doesn't have a qwerrty keyboard!!
I'm really "in the air"

What do you think about these 2 touch phone??

The HTC Diamond, as far as I know, doesn't have a keyboard. It uses a touch keyboard like the iPhone.
The HTC Diamond has a GPS module, but since I haven't seen anything about it in reviews, I'd say it's a bit early comparing it with the iPhone.
Especially with iPhone3G coming soon, with GPS, 3G and better design.

So, it's all a wait an see matter. By the end of June we should have the answer.

By the way, I've seen the HTC Diamond YouTube app. Looks pretty slick. It plays videos in a pretty high rez.

The htc diamond apparently lacks the good network for good coverage:

I would say the iPhone, because of yesterday's price drop. Who knows when the diamond it coming out? There's no set release date (correct me if I'm wrong)
I mean, seriously, EDGE towers? Who uses those anymore?

I got the htc touch (not dimond) and its pretty cool exept the fact that the apps are verry limited. I cant get anything desent on it but the iphone is cool after you get some homebrew on it. Its another mac vs pc moment but mac one for the first time since the ipod.

I JUST bought the HTC Mugol! It's my first cell for I ever had, I'm 17 in two months too
My mom bought it because she wants me to get a job

Currently there is so much stuff on there I don't know where to begin.

For me, if I had to chose between Ipod touch and diamond, I would chose my phone. This is because the ipod touch and diamond are that shiny *BLEEP* and I scratch things easy because I go to school and carry it around with me ect all the time

And mugol is nice

Video quality
Htc Touch Diamond Or Iphone?

I am planning to get a nice I phone with 8 or 16 GB soon. I loved the quality of video and sound of I pod. So whenever I will have one certainly I expect the same thing on my phone as well. It will be so kind of anyone who tell of about this.

Don't listen to Csshih, he knows nothing..I have a WCDMA diamond and it has EV-DO, which handles up to 3.1mb/s..And if thats not enough for a phone, then you have problems...

I have an iPhone and one of my friend was exploring more details on the Diamond.
I should say... Diamond is not even close to iPhone on various fronts.

There are not many applications you can find for Diamond like in iPhone, where you have the appstore with 25k+ applications and more being added every day.
The interface is very intutive and gives the best user experience I have ever seen.

Now that OS 3 is also coming with the issues like copy/paste addressed + MultiMedia messaging etc. I am sure iPhone take Diamond hands down.

personally i think the Iphone would be better

Sort of Htc Touch Diamond Or Iphone?

There are plenty of apps for the diamond, same apps as the Iphone.  They are just harder to find because of no marketplace or store that puts them all in one location it just takes a google search.  Also if you like the Iphone UI/theme but like the flexibility and customization capabilities of a WinMo device you can download and install an Iphone theme for the diamond.  I'm sure the original poster has already made a decision on which phone to get, it's really up to what you like.  If you like to fit in with what everyone else has get an Iphone, if you want something that is actually functional and truly a pocket computer get a diamond or diamond2 or touch pro or touch pro2.
