As per the tie up, the new phone would be exclusively provided on Reliance Communications state-of-the-art wireless network spread across 15,000 towns and 4 lakh Indian villages. The HTC Touch Diamond – CDMA (P3051) is already being described as a hand-held device that can change the way people see a cell phone in India.
Promising to be a state-of-the-art cellular device the new innovation packed phone would carry the style and charm of cutting-edge technologies and would be a value addition to reliance Communications’ wide spread CDMA network. The HTC Touch Diamond – CDMA (P3051) would be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and would come with Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile and Windows Live, among others.
Expected to offer 4GB of internal memory and a 2.8-inch display that provides near-print quality viewing of photographs and a perfect Web browsing experience, the HTC Touch Diamond would also feature a built-in 3.2 mega-pixel camera with an optical auto-focus lens that ensures clarity of images on a consistent level.

This phone is a joke. CDMA is dead and Windows Mobile sucks big time. This phone had almost zero response in USA and is dead in the market. Cannot compete with iPhone or Blackberry.
At this price people can go for iPhone in India or son to be launched Google G1 (Android) from HTC for INR 29,900 (US $ 600 approx.).
Regardless given India’s per capita income of approx. US $ 1000/ANNUM less than 0.5% of India’s population can afford this phone. Hence this is a joke in india to begin with.

Absolutely true what Anand and Atish have said… These phones suck.. They hang up all the time. change the way people use phones in India? Kiss my ass… This phone sucks.. I am a big time HTC fan and have owned about 5 HTC phones till now.. The HD2 is the best among them. very very fast and very usable.. but not for everybody in india.. that’s a smart phone meaning you will need data plans on it.. So I can’t see a loooooot of people in India using data anytime sooner.. This particular phone got the worst reviews and is very obsolete.. It looks good, but it sucks in functinality.. get the HD2 if you must or wait for windows phone 7
