New HTC Touch Does Better Windows Mobile UI
After trying some QWERTY-less products, HTC is back to their business, slide-out QWERTY Windows Mobile phones. This HTC Touch Pro, rumored as HTC Raphael. It has HTC Diamond’s back, but less diamondy. New TouchFLO 3D, improved user interface as on the Diamond. Also will have YouTube application and Google Maps app (GPS avaliable). Will come late summer to Europe, Asia and Middle-East. And in 2008 to Latin and North America. It’s very good that HTC is now back to phones with full keyboards, because this is the best thing that suits Windows Mobile. More specs:
- 7.2 Mbps HSDPA
- 512 Mb Storage (internal, microSD slot)
- 2.8″ VGA screen
- 3.2 Mpixel Camera
- GPS, 3G, 8 hours of talk time battery (1350 mAh)

Vista is now with Carrier!
Rogers officially launched HTC Shift, and unique mobile phone / computer that supports Windows Vista. It has a 7 inch touchscreen, 40 Gb HDD, and other stuff that almost all mobiles have, maybe I only have to say about GPS. It’s $1599.99 with 3-year contract. If you consider getting this phone, I would suggest you get an unclocked version over eBay, it will cost you less, but you won’t get GPS and Data support from Carrier.
First Official Specs of HTC Diamond
On newsmobile.it appeared first specs of HTC Diamond that look official. Well it has high-density display, having 640×480 pixels resolution on screen that is actually smaller than iPhone has. Has 3G, OS: Windows Mobile 6.1

Some say this is the most important of the year for HTC, they want to take iPhone market, but while the phone looks pretty nice, all they can hope for is taking over LG Prada :) Display is too small for that kind of pixels. Still no info about the battery.
