HTC Touch Diamond Phone Posed To Finally Top iPhone

Boston (dbTechno) - The Apple iPhone still stands above the rest of the pack when it comes to touch-screen phones. The iPhone set the bar extremely high, making it near impossible for anyone to beat it, until now. HTC has introduced the Touch Diamond phone, which will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, to try and overthrow the iPhone.

In London, HTC revealed the Touch Diamond phone. The Touch Diamond featured a reworked TouchFlo 3D interface which gives users an easier way to get into their messages, contacts, etc.

The screen looks quite impressive from pictures released.

It is a 2.8-inch 680×480 VGA touch-screen, as well as touch-sensitive controls below the screen.

It runs off of Windows Mobile 6.1 and also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPA, as well as HSDPA support.

The Touch Diamond will also be getting a customized mobile Web browser which allows you to zoom in and pan sites with one hand. When you turn the device, the page will turn as well, sound familiar?

Other extras include 192MB RAM, 256MB flash memory 4GB internal storage, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.

It will ship in Europe in June, followed by Asia and the Middle East shortly after.

North America will be getting their own version of the phone in the second half of 2008.
