The Touch Diamond is a little smaller than the iPhone, yet managed to shove whole lot more into its sleek body. Of course there are drawbacks, but it is a short list. The screen is a little bit small, the battery life is short, and it only has 65K colors. Another thing that might be odd is the back of the phone has cuts to resemble a diamond, like the Nokia Prism series.
