Hardware, operating system
The PDA's operating system is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, but one couldn't tell this at first sight, which is due to the TouchFLO 3D interface, that is presented in detail on the next page. The CPU is a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7201A, RAM has a size of 192 MB, while ROM is 256 MB large. We can use 55 MB of the first one for running programs, and we can turn off TouchFLO 3D in order to get some additional space, but we won't really need that. We have about 50 MB of the ROM for storing data, but this is extended with 4 GB of built-in flash memory, which can be read at 5.92 MB/sec and written to at 2.56 MB/sec, according to my measurements. The memory cannot be expanded unfortunately, but it might not even be needed, taking into consideration the size of the internal memory. The boot process is rather slow, TF3D needs about 20-30 seconds to start up.
According to the synthetic benchmarks the handset is fast, it's very fast. The new Qualcomm chip does its job rather fast, although it's faster than the previous MSM7200 only because the clock speed difference. Pocket PC Mark had some rather good results both for the memory and the file system, the mark for the graphical subsystem is not very high, at least when compared to QVGA devices. It performs better, however, then VGA resolution E-TEN handsets, thus we can say that the Qualcomm chip is better for high-resolution screens than Samsung's CPU. We currently cannot compare VsBenchmark results to many other ones, but it's sure that Diamond is the fastest of all the devices tested so far.
