the handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with HTC's TouchFLO 3D user interface, and features a 2.8-inch touch screen with Opera web browser, a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus lens and a microSD card slot.

Unique to Verizon's version, the Touch Diamond has Visual Voice Mail to prioritize messages, VZ Navigator for audible turn-by-turn directions and Mobile IM to chat with friends and family.
