Yet another detailed review of HTC Diamond vs Samsung Omina. Interesting it mentioned HTC Diamond comes with dedicated 64 MB RAM for the graphics chipset. It also commented on its video and Touch FLO performance favourably. Of course, others may say that it is another biased review. I suppose we all want to hear what we want to hear. Sigh.

I think it's difficult for any review to be completly unbiased unless it read like a pure spec sheet. But biased or not there was certainly a great deal of information presented; the audio quality report was undeniably objective.
Part of the article is contrary to a behaviour that I've heard reported on the Diamond. | GSM Arena wrote: | | The downside to that is you need to press the On/Off key to turn the display back on during the call. But once you do, it stays on until you've finished your conversation. |
I remember previously reading that the display would just turn off and even if you turned it back on it would turn it self off again.
It's good to know about the video ram being dedicated. On of my current phones is rated at having 64 MB of ram, but between the ram consumed by the video system, page pool, and possibly other hardware there's effectivly only 48 MB of ram available. It's a repeat of a problem that some computers have; my work machine has 4 gigs of ram installed, but about 370 megs is being consumed by the integrated Intel display hardware.

My ThinkPad X300 has 358 MB RAM dedicated for the display. The display though is to drive a resolution of 1440x900 primary and secondary display and which is about 8 times the pixels for 640x480. So 64MB RAM for display is quite good for a phone.

It's quite excellent! If we assume the phone is using 32 bits per pixel than 1.22 megs would be used for the actual displayed image, another 1.22 megs for a back buffer, and plenty more for texture memory.
