This isn’t the first time that HTC and One & Co have worked together. In fact, they’ve been working together since 2006 to create the popular handset the HTC Touch Diamond. With the full acquisition of One & Co, HTC hopes to bring new innovative handsets to the market.
I am very excited to see what weird and wonderful devices come out of this team up!
Read the official Press Release: HTC bolsters design credibility with addition of One & Co
We at WindowsMobile Cool heard about this device at the end of last week, but we had no idea just how much hype this device would get!
Now, just so we’re clear, this isn’t a Windows Mobile device - but it’s still pretty rockin’! Check out these features: Touch display which slides and tilts to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, ssisted GPS, 5MP camera with dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss lens, 3G with HSDPA, WiFi, A2DP Bluetooth and 32GB of onboard memory, plus a slot for another 16GB via MicroSD card. Cool!

Finally, Rogers has released the HTC Touch Diamond for the sweet, sweet price of $199.99 on a 3 year contract. Of course, that’s with a mandatory ’sign up’ of a min. $45 data/voice plan, but we expected that.
Other pricing options include: 3 year contract (voice only) for $449.99, 3 year contract (data only) $499.99, 2 year contract for $549.99, 1 year contract for $549.99, and month to month for $599.99. The Rogers HTC Touch Diamond is actually cut like a diamond on the back as the original HTC Touch Diamond. Bell and Telus’ versions seem to be lacking the cool, textured back.

It’s like spotting a unicorn! You always wanted to believe knew it existed, but you’d just never seen one… but here it is! Taiwanese site ePrice has pictures of the white HTC Touch Diamond up. Now, I normally hate the look of white electronics and gadgets - I’m a black/metal fan (the finish/coat kind not the headbanging air guitarist kind) but I must say - it looks pretty cool in white.

There’s a strange story coming out of the British mobile scene about Orange UK’s sales people talking their customers out of upgrading to the HTC Touch HD of which they have obtained exclusive rights to in the British market.
Apparently there have been a slew of returns and complaints about this exclusive phone. A source over at msmobiles says:
Just tried to upgrade to the Touch HD and had the operator telling me about the high rate of returns. Apparently poor battery life, and that horrendous camera are putting people off them. The operator tried her hardest to put me off until I pointed out just how many Windows Mobile powered phones I have had (Windows Mobile 2002 and on). So not just returns but actively trying to encourage customers to not buy the orange UK exclusive.
Anyone here experiencing any problems?
What has Orange UK done to this phone? Or is the device flawed right from the gate?

First user manuals and full spec sheets, now official press releases - Verizon Wireless‘ Samsung Omnia is getting a lot of time in the spotlight this week!
Yep - you read that right. HTC is expecting to sell 3 million of their Touch Diamond devices by the end of 2008!
On November 21, HTC CEO Peter Chou said that before the end of the year the company expects to sell up to a million G1 (Android) devices and are expected to hit the 3 million mark with their popular Windows Mobile device, the HTC Touch Diamond.
HTC’s Chou also denied rumours of a pending layoff as well as rumours of decreased orders - proudly proclaiming that HTC was too tough for the global economic recession to weigh down. The company’s condition is so good, in fact, that they’re currently looking at acquiring a handset design company in the US.

Whoah ho ho! Looks like the old saying is true - it’s not the size of the device that matters…
The above video puts the HTC Touch Pro (640×480) up against the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (800×480) in a web browsing contest and guess who won? Watch the video to see for yourself!
