Hight Tech Computers have announced the formal launching of its latest and as claimed the best ever product, HTC Touch Diamond Phone. The HTC Touch diamond phone has only been launched in Europe and is expected to be launched in America and Asia in the later part of the year. The HTC Touch Diamond phone is also 3G enabled and hence has again beaten Apple iPhone by launching its phone ahead of them. The complete touch phone was also launched by HTC few months before the launch of Apple’s iPhone.
The CEO of HTC labeled the phone as the best ever product he has ever made. The details of the product can be found below in the commentary of famous PC WorldÂ
HTC’s focus on improving touch-screen technology on the Touch Diamond’s 2.8-inch, 640 pixel by 480 pixel display pays testament to how serious it is about competing against the iPhone.
The company revamped its TouchFlo software to make give a 3D effect to screen images. People can access photos, music, messages, use push-e-mail and more on the touch screen.
The company also upgraded the Web browser, which is built on an engine from Opera Software but was designed specifically for HTC. The browser fits the screen, and users can zoom and pan Web sites with one hand. Turn the device sideways, and the view automatically rotates as well.
The Touch Diamond includes customized applications for watching YouTube videos and using Google Maps for map and traffic data. The handset has a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver.
The 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus allows video-calling.
Despite the big screen size, camera and other features, the Touch Diamond is small, just 102 millimeters by 51mm by 11.33 mm.
The HTC Touch Diamond also boasts Bluetooth for wireless data transfer, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g for wireless Internet access. The battery on the device is rated for 4 hours of talk time.
One area where Apple’s iPhone still has the edge is in data storage: the Touch Diamond has only 4G bytes of flash memory for storing music and videos, compared to the iPhone’s 8G bytes or 16G bytes.

That’s good news! I am very fond of the cell phones by this Taiwan-based manufacturer. They don’t come cheap, but I’ve had the privilege to own a couple of them. HTC usually is first to deliver handheld devices with the latest top notch technology, all together in really compact devices.
But the thing is: they ship with Windows-powered software. Which is handy for people like me that like programming as a hobby, but Window Mobile runs a bit slow and that gets uncomfortable if you are used to phones from other brands like Nokia. If you don’t care about running extra applications like GPS navigation on your phone, then Windows-powered phone aren’t (or were not) what gets an average user to save money for.
When I tried the iPhone from Apple I was amazed with how much faster and more intuitively the user interface is presented on screen. -This iPhone look and feel is what I want on my HTC phone!- OK, the Windows-software on my HTC has more features built in, but it often feels slow and unpretty compared to the phone from Apple. Even when HTC threw in their TouchFLO software layer it couldn’t really compete with the iPhone.
This new HTC phone though… has a 3D graphics processor. Which probably means that Windows Mobile runs faster and can get up to par with those creative menus that iPhone has. – Great, HTC rocks!
Note to myself: start saving money and buy one next year when prices drop.
Nice one Eric!
I have been a great fan of HTC though i never used one myself. I am currently using P1i and that i found amazing phone though it lacks the attractive softwares which my friends with iPhone show to me to change my support for P1i.
The Diamond is more pitted against Sony upcoming Xperia X-1 rather Iphone since both share the same OS version i.e WM 6.1. The most imporatnt aspect is the 528 Mhz processor, which is currently the fastest processor hTC has so far used in their product portfolio. I think this product will attracts prosumers & techies alike..
P.S: Excited…, As i ll be getting my hands on this beauty in a week time!
So Pretender you are lucky to be in Europe as it will be released later in the year in rest of the world and HTC greatly changes its model for different regions!
Moreover, the 3d effect thing is also very attractive feature
Not exactly in Europe though… well i ll be getting my hands on a non-commercial unit. The 3D user interface is indeed a great feature basically its an upgraded version of hTC Touch Flo code named as HTC Manila, (might give the IPhone interface run for its money). The Touch diamond will be in Pakistan probably during start of the 3rd Q of this year.
& oh! i forgot to mention… i am in Karachi, Pakistan not in any European wonderland
…
Cheers!
This is a must vist site. Very good information. really impressed
HTC fans, you can use pointui, its free-UI which runs on Windows mobile, really pimps up the gui and is pretty quick.
I-phone is all shashka, that by all means is not negative, but Windows mobile provides just so much more flexibility and scalibility…and u can always add shaska with 1000s of apps out thier for it…
HTC is really the bang for buck, and iphone, i think it’ll get too common to be ‘cool’ sooner or later. HTC still has that sophisticated looks to it..imo..iphone is for boys and htc is for men.
