Phone Review - HTC Diamond

Today we're reviewing the HTC Diamond, a great smartphone available from Infinity Mobile. Overall, (and... this is coming from a BlackBerry user for 3 years) it's a great smartphone for all of your needs. Here are some of the highlights that impress us:

• Windows Mobile Operating System - very slick, fast, familiar. Lots of goodies and customization!
• Touchscreen is very nice, and the "built-in" stylus is great for lots of quick detail work
• The overall size is nice - much smaller than a BlackBerry.
• 3.2 MP Camera - very nice photos and options for lighting, etc
• Bluetooth Integrations are perfect (we tried it in the car and loved it)
• Text and Email Message queuing uniquely different, but useful once you get the hang of it
• Reception and talk quality excellent on affordable Infinity Mobile No Contract Phone service
• Seamless sync with Outlook

What wasn't so great?

While there isn't anything we explicitly don't like, the interface does take some getting used to, especially if you're coming from the world of BlackBerry. It's a short learning curve though and the benefits of using this phone to sync up more closely with Windows 7 is amazing in terms of productivity.

So, if you're looking for a zippy smartphone with all the goodies and then some, we think you will love the HTC Diamond. And, we are also confident that you will LOVE our low-priced, unlimited no contract cell phone plans where you pay no taxes, cancellation fees, or overages - and don't have to deal with a credit check!

Until next time...

Infinity Unlimited Plans WILL shrink your bill!

A recent BillShrink.com survey came to some interesting conclusions about one's perceived cell phone usage and actual usage. Very interesting, and this blog outlines it well.

Here are the highlights:

• People estimate they need 711 wireless anytime minutes per month, but in truth they need quite a bit less. BillShrink found 651 minutes to be the average.


• The average person uses 1,555 text messages per month, yet most consumers believe they use 2,566. (1,555 per-month is the average!?!)


• People assume they need 54MB of data per month, yet most need 81MB. Ironically, most tiered carrier plans start at 150MB.

What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, it means that our Infinity Unlimited Plans will shrink your bill, giving you great service, unlimited calls, and unlimited texts... just in case you might be one of those people who does text 2,566 times or more a month!
