HTC Diamond to be released this month in different guises!


The HTC Diamond is expected this month has now been released on Orange contracts here and will also be known as the MDA Compact IV on T-Mobile.

This version of the HTC Touch Diamond is slightly different to the o2 XDA Diamond and HTC Touch Diamond as it has nicely rounded edges and it weighs less - only 98g compared to the 110g of the other two models.

Apart from this and a few minor cosmetic changes, all three devices are near identical.

The T-Mobile Compact IV is a slim touchscreen phone powered by the highly customisable Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. It has a clever TouchFLO 3D system, in T-Mobile’s white and magenta colour scheme, that allows your photos and music to be searched as you rotate the phone, or via finger gestures on it’s impressive screen.

The screen itself is a 2.8 inch TFT-LCD with full VGA resolution meaning you have plenty of room to view pictures from the onboard 3.2 megapixel camera, or movies stored on the 4GB internal memory. Browsing the web on this phone is great too as the large touchscreen is complimented by broadband like speed thanks to the HSDPA and Wi-fi data connectivity.

Built in GPS completes the impressive feature list and with all this packed into a such a good looking fashion phone, T-Mobile are sure to have a best seller. As soon as the first deals for this hot smartphone appear we will post them here…
