HTC’s new Touch Diamond smartphone, successor to the popular HTC Touch has just been unveiled in London.The handset runs on on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional overlaid with an updated version of HTC’s TouchFLO 3D interface which is designed to keep the itty-bitty stylus in its silo and make the operating system more finger friendly.
We quite liked the finger control last time, but it still felt like a massive anti-climax when we were inevitably dumped back into the dowdy WM6 interface when we needed to get something done. Still, as eye-candy goes, it’s quite entertaining stuff.
The 2.8-inch touchscreen packs an impressively large 640×480 (VGA) resolution screen - substantially bigger than the iPhone’s 480 x 320 effort, although physically smaller in size - backed by 192 MB SDRAM, 256 MB ROM and 4 GB internal storage.
“We wanted to create a device that would allow people to walk, chew gum and get content from the Internet all at the same time,” purred Horace Luke, chief innovations officer at HTC, who added that the phone had been designed for one handed operation.
