As promised HTC announced a new product yesterday in London. It's been doing the rounds on the internet for a few weeks as leaked images and specs but now we have it straight from the Taiwan based firm. Say hello to the HTC Touch Diamond.

Though I'm happy to see loads of RAM/ROM and 4Gb of internal storage I'm surprised to see that they removed the microSD card slot for this device. That's a definite point against this device. Triband is so 90's I wonder why this isn't Quadband? Maybe it's cheaper to make Triband devices then just make 2 models [1 for Asia/Europe and 1 for NA] but this won't make globe trekkers happy. I'm not to keen on this device because it lacks a hardware keyboard [a personal requirement]. This is a very good update to the HTC Touch and it'll be interesting to see what they have in store for the TyTN series. VGA Slider sounds good. I hope these next crop of devices will have graphics drivers to take advantage of the nice screens.
