No, it's a fake. The follow pretty much sums up the legitimacy:

Sales Tax & Import Tax:
No sales tax is required.
Buyer are responsible for any customs duties if it is required. We will mark the item as 'GIFT' with lower product value, We will put legal effort help you to minimize or avoid any GST or V.A.T. or other Import Taxes.

ps spam?

the ebay one has a screen res of 240 x 400 pixels
A TD2 should be 480 X 800

Nope, that is definitely a fake.

The touch Diamond 2 has a 5mp cam.
That interface looks more like the Touch Flow from the original Touch Diamond (see here: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_di...view-264p8.php)
The connector on the bottom is a MiniUSB connector rather than HTC's ExtUSB which includes audio output.
There doesn't appear to be a forward facing camera.
The screen is half the resolution of a TD2
And apparently the "zoom in zoom out function not available in this phone" which would mean the touch screen doesn't extend past the bottom of the screen to cover the zoom area printed below.

And generally it doesn't look quite right.

No idea where you got that as being HTC, the listing even says it is Cect...

It's just a chi-phone...

Heehee

So it does, I missed that too. KIRF through and through

You can tell it's fake because they don't advertise it as a HTC Touch Diamond 2 but instead as the Black Diamond.

I'm guessing there's a law that prevents people from making fake products (I hardly know anything about law but there must be one) so they try to get around this by copying the designs with worser (usually) hardware/software and name it VERY similarly.

I didn't know about KIRF, they're fantastic!

I've been hunting for a reasonably-priced smartphone for a while now .
