HTC has unveiled yet another addition to their Touch range of Windows Mobile handsets and are calling it the Touch Diamond. Apart from making it look elegant HTC has, of course incorporated their TouchFLO technology into the Diamond as well, but with one slight adjustment – The Diamond’s TouchFLO interface comes with a 3D effect.


"Today we mark a new era in mobile phone evolution, an era where beauty and size integrate with uncompromising innovation at broadband speeds," said Peter Chou, president and CEO, HTC Corp. "The HTC Touch Diamond will make browsing the Web and using Web-enabled applications just as practical and easy to use as making calls."

The new TouchFLO 3D provides animated access to messaging, email, photos, music, weather and other features. In addition, HTC is introducing a new innovative touch-sensitive control for interacting with Touch Diamond. The Diamond also incorporates HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA wireless connectivity and has a new customized mobile Web browser with features for zooming and panning sites with one-hand and automatically view optimized content that has been specially created to fit the display. Turning the device sideways automatically rotates the web page view from a portrait to landscape view. The Diamond also has a YouTube application and Google Maps.


It has a 2.8 inch VGA touch screen display, a 3.2 megapixel camera with an optical auto-focus lens and advanced wireless and auto sensor screen pivoting. It runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, comes with 4 GB of internal storage with 256 MB flash and 192 MB RAM and runs on a Qualcomm MSM 7201A , 528MHz chipset. Other features include Bluetooth with EDR, minUSB, integrated GPS and Wi-Fi.

The HTC Touch Diamond will be available later this quarter in Asia and the Middle East but there seems to be no price tag on it yet. Stay Tuned.
