I’m no way near the end of my contract but I have a feeling I could be buying my way out of it or dropping it to a SIM only package in favor of the HTC Touch Diamond 2 (TD2).

This second rendition of the very popular Touch Diamond addresses many of the issues I had with my original one, larger battery, bigger screen with increased resolution and the zoom slide bar looks like a great addition to the device.

My only concern would be the lack of keyboard, its taken me months to get used to the on screen keyboard of my Diamond, helped by applications like Touch Response which give a needed piece of feedback upon each key press. However I have tried the new on screen keyboard on the TD2 and it was a vast improvement on my current one.

Any how, if you are interested in this device check out Tracy and Matt’s preliminary unboxing video and impressions and excuse me whilst go in search of £400 to drop on this one.
