HTC announced HTC Touch 3G and HTC Touch Viva today; a site leaks made HTC to push the announcement one day earlier than planned – Both Touch 3G and Touch Viva sports TouchFLO technology enabling quick navigation and one touch access to messages, contacts, and other information.
Over at our mobile-obsessed sister site PHONE Magazine its been a touchscreen review frenzy, with two of the year’s most eagerly anticipated cellphones turning up in the same weekend. First off, Samsung’s Instinct for Sprint landed on the step and was promptly unboxed and reviewed. Then the HTC Touch Diamond arrived, just in time for an unboxing and some first impressions. Both handsets have slick touchscreens, GPS and high-speed data connections; both may not say it out loud, but they’ve got the iPhone in their sights.
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.
