HTC Touch Diamond was unveiled in London 2 weeks back and even India is part of the global launch of the handset.
As with the case of HTC Touch, HTC Diamond will also be available via Bharti Airtel, which means that the device will be locked onto Airtel Network.
I am confident that the intelligent folks at XDA will come up with an unlock mechanism for HTC Diamond as they did for HTC Touch.
The specifications of HTC Diamond looks way better than HTC Touch. It has a much faster processor, more memory and a better camera. Its 3G enabled and also has GPS. The new 3D TouchFlo also looks good.
There is also a custom YouTube Application, however I am not sure if the video experience is same as in iPhone.

The phone is being priced at 27500 INR (670$) which in my opinion is way too high. Hopefully the price will come down over the period of time in which case it will be a worthy alternative to HTC Touch.

It looks good but it doesn’t look as good as the Apple iPhone. I wonder how the software compares. It seems the iphone is a lot faster.

Any idea if there’s a way to unlock it?
Hi Venu,
I picked up HTC diamond in India and I had to travel to US on reaching here I came to know that my phone is Airtel locked, which is bad because in India you pay upfront for the handset and I paid 28k for it. Is there any way to unlock this phone. I am not able to download the ROM upgrade which available on the HTC worldwide site.
Can you please help me out with this?
