Review: YouTube application in HTC Touch Diamond June 29, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Videos on YouTube are like hapiness and money ("if you can't buy hapiness, then you don't know where to shop"): you can find anything on YouTube and if you can't find it, then you don't know how to search. Some people mention, that tilt sensor of HTC Touch Diamond is a feature that can sway many people to buy this phone, but another amazing advancement of this phone, is YouTube stand-alone application that is included in HTC Touch Diamond and that offers even high-quality watching meaning the image sharper than in iPhone because it uses full 640x480 pixels (and iPhone has only 320x480 pixels = 2 times less): 
Once you open the YouTube application you see the following welcome screen (we publish screen shots here one-to-one, i.e. in original resolution as they appear in HTC Touch Diamond): 
However we don't recommend trying out videos on the welcome screen as many of them are spoofs and does not include topics that they claim to cover. What we can recommend is searching for author of given video: 
... or searching for some specific topic: 
In any case we recommend using high resolution in settings: 
... but obviously if you are on cellular network and not WiFi and you must see something quickly, then lower resolution ("fast download") is also OK. In case you give your phone to somebody to use, don't forget to clear history of your YouTube watching in order to avoid embarassment: 
You can also bookmark some videos in case you would like to watch them again for some reason or if you would like to show them off to somebody. 
Another nice touch of this YouTube application is ability to send YouTube videos over MMS or email - just by tapping on the email icon. By tapping on "i" icon on the right side of the list of videos (in search box, history or favorites) user can get see additional info about given video including longer textual descriptions, some "related videos" and some "more from the same author" vidoes. Improvement suggestions for HTC for this YouTube application (although we are not sure whether they are more towards Google/YouTube than HTC):
All in all HTC has taken a very good, excellent, decision to include YouTube application in HTC Touch Diamond! Many people are sitting for hours and doing nothing but just watching videos on YouTube. One can find on YouTube a lot of material on all topics, so having this application makes a huge difference!
