HTC Touch Diamond |
3 Both the Diamond and the Omnia have eye-catching designs. I like their expansive touch screens and trim profiles. Both phones feel solidly constructed and comfortable to use. But at the end of the day, this round is subjective, and I just like the Omnia better. |
4 The HTC Touch Diamond's display may be smaller than the Omnia's, but it's sharper, which leaves more of a lasting impression on me. That, plus the flashy 3D TouchFlo interface, compact size, and burgundy color gives it the winning edge. |
4 Both look great. The HTC Touch Diamond is compact, has a great looking screen, and has a nice texture on the back. |

Samsung Omnia (8GB, Unlocked) |
4 See comment above. |
3 This is a tough round for me, since both smartphones are sexy in their own way. I really like the Samsung Omnia's slim profile and spacious touch screen, but in the end, I think the Touch Diamond provides a better total package. |
4 The Omnia is very iPhone-ish. It's larger in size, and has a larger screen than the Touch Diamond, but it's slimmer. |
