TouchFLO 3d is purely graphical that displays eye-candy images. Browsing album covers, images, videos and contacts are made easy by flipping through it. The screen sports a music player like Cover Flow.

It also incorporates animations especially on the weather application. Some of these are animated lightning and when it is rainy, it displays a windshield wiper. These are just a few of the animations you are going to encounter. You are still yet to be wowed with the other features.

HTC Diamond is said to be really fun, beautiful, entertaining and promises impressive performance. But one of the main questions that need to be answered is its speed.

First and foremost the TouchFLO 3D covers this applications/task:

Ø        The home screen displays a digital clock, call history, appointments, time, date and carrier.

Ø        Speed dial where you can incorporate images or photos to specific contacts.

Ø        Supports message applications such as Email, SMS and MMS.

Ø        Also supports media applications such as music playback that is locally stored and image viewer.

Ø        Opera Internet browser which already includes bookmarks which is very convenient. The HTC did not forget the weather and includes the weather application launcher that is icon-based.

HTC Diamond may look beautiful but it is not that fast. Sometimes it lags or does not respond immediately. For best performance there are places you should not swipe or drag because doing so can bring out lags for about 2 seconds. When swiping your finger across the icons it acts a bit jerky, slow and odd. But with HTC's impressive work on its software and hardware graphics acceleration the HTC Diamond UI is much faster.
