Comparisons with the iPhone are and will be inevitable and Fielding seemed to spend as much time fielding questions about the iPhone as the HTC Touch Diamond.

The Touch Diamond has been tightly integrated with the range of online services available from Telstra's BigPond Mobile, and Fielding promised that there would be additional services in coming months, specifically one around the Trading Post online property.
