Feature by Feature: The HTC Touch Diamond Vs the Apple iPhone

While the iPhone enjoys a tremendous success worldwide, mobile companies have been launching devices with more and more power, features rich and sometimes even cheaper than the Apple iPhone, this time is the HTC Touch Diamond, a beautifully designed mobile phone with more capabilities, smaller form factor and lighter, but to beat the iPhone adding features is not always the most recommended, the iPhone user is not looking for more and more features he is looking for an iPhone and the whole eco-system, the itunes-iphone.
