We already know that the HTC Touch Diamond is one beautiful piece of hardware, but a group of bloggers wanted to find out just how tough this hot handset actually was. Meeting up with one of the reps from HTC, they put the HTC Touch Diamond through a series of torture tests.

You see, with a name like Diamond, you would think that this phone would be scratch-proof and relatively immune to getting all beat up by a mere group of bloggers. The rep starts out with banging the HTC Touch Diamond against a door handle, but the spectators aren’t quite satisfied with this fairly mild form of abuse.

Check out the video below to see how far they go. I don’t think they went far enough.
