HTC Touch Diamond2 review

, May 1st 2009 Discuss [2]

It’s set to be a tough year for smartphones, and there’s plenty of change afoot as companies battle amid tightening customer purse-strings.  The new iPhone is set to arrive over the summer; Palm’s Pre is imminent, and Microsoft have the latest incarnation of Windows Mobile waiting in the wings.  Into that fray, HTC launch the Touch Diamond2, likely one of the last smartphones to use WM6.1 and an update to what was considered, when it launched a year ago, one of the game-changing handsets of Microsoft’s platform.  Can the HTC Touch Diamond2 maintain that legacy, and will TouchFLO 3D improvements sufficiently mask the aging OS?  SlashGear set to finding out.

HTC Touch Diamond2 video unboxing

, Apr 24th 2009 Discuss [0]

When HTC launched the Touch Diamond2 at Mobile World Congress back in February, they made no bones about the fact that it incorporated the best of the original Touch Diamond and what lessons they’d learned from the Touch HD.  A bigger, 3.2-inch WVGA display than the previous Diamond, plus the latest iteration of TouchFLO 3D, and the HTC Touch Diamond2 will perhaps be the poster-child for Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphones until 6.5 launches.  Our Touch Diamond2 arrived today, and before we get to grips with this slick new smartphone we shot an unboxing video.

Samsung Mondi gets ARM11 CPU: doubts over MID performance

, Apr 8th 2009 Discuss [0]

Samsung's Mondi WiMAX MID had something of a stretched out launch - first being demonstrated at MWC as the SWD-M100, then getting a quiet mention through the company's own RSS image feed, before Samsung finally came clean early this month.  What we haven't known until now is the processor powering the Mondi, and anybody hoping for something esoteric and interesting will be disappointed: it's an 800MHz ARM11 chip.
