HTC Touch Diamond Unveiled – Its Beautiful !!

HTC officially unveiled its HTC Touch Diamond high-end handset during the “May 6 HTC Event” held in London which ended a few hours ago. As expected and as seen in several leaked images that appeared yesterday, the new device from HTC is slim and compact, and has a very nice overall aspect. The rumored diamond-like pattern on the phone’s back case is real, providing a look that is not only unique but also awesome to look at.

HTC Touch Diamond’s official dimensions are: 102 x 51 x 11,5 millimeters, and weighs about 110 grams. In this slim case, HTC managed to put together enough advanced features to attract about any user who wants to have the latest technology in a handset and I seriously believe that it is going to give the iPhone some serious run for its money.

Here are the official specs :

• Connectivity: WCDMA / HSPA: 900/2100MHz. HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA
• Operating system: Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
• Display: 2.8-inch VGA touch screen
• Camera: 3.2MP, with video calling
• Internal memory: 4 GB Internal Storage, 256 MB flash, 192 MB RAM,
• Bluetooth: 2.0 with EDR
• Wireless: WiFi 802.11b/g
• GPS: GPS/AGPS
• Interface: HTC ExtUSB™ (mini-USB and audio jack in one; USB 2.0 High-Speed)
• Battery: 900 mAh
• Talk time: GSM: up to 4 hours
• Standby time: GSM: up to 300 hours/100 hours with push email
• Chipset: Qualcomm MSM® 7201A™ 528MHz

The HTC Touch Diamond is scheduled to be available to the general public sometime in June, when we are also expecting Apple 3G iPhone. The price of HTC is not yet known but the retail one will surely be pretty high in my opinion. But even otherwise, the price of a phone generally depends on country, operator and/or data plan, so the Diamond will surely have lots of price tags when launched. All we can do now is wait until June.

The only advantage that the iPhone currently has is its simplicity and effective design. The iPhone UI is one of the best in the industry and the Windows Mobile interface just doesn’t cut it for the iPhone. Another thing is that with the impending launch of 3G iPhone things are definitely going to hotter in the smartphone market.
