HTC have announced the launch of their latest handset, the Touch Diamond. One of the stand out features for this mobile phone is the new HTC Touch interface, called Touchflo 3D. Touchflo 3D provides animated access to contacts, messaging, email, photos, music weather and more.
The Touch Diamond is loaded with many top end features and is well made, feeling very comfortable in the hand. Support for HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps is included along with HSUPA technology, allowing for high speed upload and downloads. It offers an excellent web browsing experience, with a new customised mobile web browser, which enables easy viewing and simple navigation of websites. Users can easily zoom and pan across websites one handed and automatically view specially created content, optimised to fit the display. With the built in accelerometer websites can be viewed automatically in landscape mode simply by rotating the phone.
The HTC Diamond has a large 2.8 inch screen, which supports VGA resolution, that is 640 x 480 pixels, enabling you to see photos taken in near print quality on the screen. The handset has a built in 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and a secondary camera for making video calls.
The Diamond also includes a built in GPS chip with added support for A-GPS, which enables a faster lock on your location. Used with Sat Nav software this turns your handset into a mobile satellite navigation device.
The phone offers a multitude of connection options, as well as the afore-mentioned HSDPA and HSUPA the Diamond supports WiFi and also Bluetooth 2.0. Bluetooth 2.0 support will allow you to listen to music files from your device or the built-in stereo FM radio wirelessly with a stereo Bluetooth headset.
The HTC Touch Diamond operates on the Windows Mobile system version 6.1. This latest version of Windows Mobile offers an increased performance standard to previous versions, including better power management, which in turn equates to a better battery standby performance time. User memory available on the handset is an impressive 4GB, unfortunately this cannot be expanded as there is no card slot available. The handset weighs in at just 110g and is only 11.5mm thick. We expect a launch of the HTC Touch Diamond on UK networks sometime in June and we’ll update this information as soon as we get further news or you can register here to be kept updated by email.
