Recap on HTC Touch Diamond

I'm sure you didn't miss the launch of HTC's "most important device this year", either you're deliberately avoided the news or not; the Touch Diamond has taken the mobile world by storm. Judging from the look of the device, may or may not cause a serious compulsion for tech geeks to purchase it. But the HTC's pride on this one is at what inside it, which they hoped will be able to arouse your desire to hold it.

Mmm... I didn't mean to refering you as tech geeks, sorry ;-p Maybe a fashionita tech enthusiasts will do? By the way, here are the real "diamonds" inside it:
  • Three bands GSM, up to 7.2Mbps data transfer (HSDPA)
  • Qualcomm MSM7201A, 528MHz processor
  • 192MB DDR SDRAM additional memory
  • 4GB internal storage memory
  • Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro
  • 2.8-inch VGA display, with orientation sensor / accelerometer
  • 3.2M pixels camera, with auto focus
  • GPS
  • WiFi 11b/g
  • Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
  • FM radio with RDS
  • mini-USB port
  • 900mAh battery
  • 11.5mm thin body

But there are some let-downs that strangely enough aren't available for such 'important' mobile phone: extended memory card slot, and low features such as the small juice of the battery and 3-band of GSM network only. The latest rumor is the Touch Diamond has went through the FCC, so it looks like HTC is on schedule to release it around June to pitch it face-to-face with iPhone 2.0!

Well, even though you're probably didn't plan to buy this one special 'diamond'. Perhaps the video demo below will change your mind, because it sure does tempt my faith on Palm. ;-D
