Fans of total mobile device convergence might want to check this out as it looks like an interesting alternative to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 that Kornel tested out a while back.
VGA touchscreen, keyboard, HSDPA, 3.2MP CAM, rotation sensor and GPS running on a Qualcomm MSM 7201A @ 528MHz (ARM11+ARM9) platform running Windows Mobile 6.1. Available in Europe, late summer and in North America after that.
With a little Opera 9.5 love this could keep a lot of people happy for a very long time! I think we should drop it into the database as an alternative solution don’t you?

By the looks of it HTC have included a full(er) keyboard this time, the HTC TyTNII didn’t have the number line at the top instead its accessible through the ‘fn’ key combo.
I’m a strong supporter of HTC and they are defiantly onto a winner with their new ‘touch tec’!

So heres the answer from HTC, to those who were criticizing abt diamond, that it has no longer battery life, and no card slot n all..

It looks like a nice device, not sure about the front facing keys though (I like playing games when waiting around).
I’d be interested to see how the battery life measures up as the Tytn2 and I understand the Diamond have poor battery life.
The HTC Touch interface is nice, but it’d be interesting to see how the SPB Mobile Shell works on the device as on the Tynt2 it’s the beesknees.

I wonder if this device will be compatible with WM7 when it’s released?

Make it a widescreen and I’d give it the upper hand over the Xperia.

Anyone know what’s the differences between the Touch pro and touch diamond? I can’t seem to find that information on http://www.AllTouchPro.com
Thanks for your time.
