Over at PHONE Magazine we’ve got more hands-on footage and photos of the new HTC Touch Diamond than you could shake a stick at. After the smartphone’s launch today in London, Vincent had some playtime with the device and came away decidedly impressed. Watching the video, it’s hard not to see why: HTC have done a fantastic job creating a slick, nicely animated and very usable interface.
At HTC’s London event this morning, the company announced their latest smartphone, the HTC Touch Diamond. With a casing made up of multiple angled facets, the handset will be the first to feature HTC’s new TouchFLO 3D, with an animated 3D touchscreen interface meaning that the Touch Diamond can be operated with just one hand. As for connectivity it will have HSDPA/HSUPA 7.2Mbps, and for imaging a 3.1-megapixel camera.
Less than fifteen minutes until the HTC event in London, UK. The LiveBlog kicks off at 11.30am GMT+1, so head over to http://live.phonemag.com/ if you’re interested in seeing what goodies HTC have up their sleeve.
HTC isn’t releasing what the press event will entail, but if what’s been rumored over the past weeks are indeed true, then we will witness the birth of the HTC Diamond, HTC Touch Pro and perhaps Mr. Chou will dazzle us with the highly anticipated Android-powered Dream phone.
I just received a detailed itinerary for the HTC London press event on Tuesday May 6, 2008. I arrive in London at 8:45 AM, registration starts at 11:00 AM and the HTC press event kicks off at 11:30AM. I have a briefing with HTC CIO, Horace Luke at 3:30 to 4:00 PM. There’s a cocktail event with HTC’s CEO Peter Chou at 5:00 PM and dinner at 7:30 PM. HTC’s Chief Designer will be attending so looks like I’ll have an opportunity to pick his brain on HTC’s next wave of innovation. Make sure to stay follow the event in real time via http://live.phonemag.com.
