Advantages: Wide range of programs available

Disadvantages: Poor battery life

I bought this phone a couple of months ago and have been thoroughly impressed by it. Granted it replaced my nokia 3100 (of about five years), however the vast range of features it offers are incredible. Firstly as a phone, it handles texts and calls in a very efficient manner, grouping texts into text conversations if for example you send a few texts back and forth to a friend. Beyond basic features the internet is very good, particularly the opera browser which is included. With a few upgrades it is capable of displaying lots of flash based websites including youtube.

In comparison to other phones the diamond does very well in my opinion. Certainly, compared to the blackberry it is very good, offering everything the blackberry does and more. There is a particular forum which makes this possible called xda forums. This on its own makes the phone worth having because everyone there develops more programs for the phone, meaning you can use it for anything from catching up on tv, to using it as a cycle computer (using its inbuilt gps). A fantastic phone.

Summary: Highly Recommended
