Including zooming-in on faces of the speakers! Here is the video in an embedded Flash player (press "play" button to view): HTC Touch Diamond has no HSUPA (fast uploads) ! May 08, 2008; [with touch-screen] HTC's very own very official product page of HTC Touch Diamond is now online and in specifications section it says, that this phone can do uploads only up to 384 kbps: Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds ... what means: no HSUPA... but at least (according to HTC) this phone has an ultra-sensitive GPS receiver: After Orange, HTC spreads their diamonds to more operators: O2 and T-Mobile May 08, 2008; [with touch-screen] We were the first site on the Internet, that published photos of HTC Diamond branded by T-Mobile (taken by our reporter at T-Mobile's stand at CeBIT), but at that time (in March 2008, at CeBIT 2008 tradeshow that is 3 times bigger than CES in USA) we didn't know that it will be HTC's diamond!
Now also O2 is joining the diamond party... and like Orange, it uses its own variant of HTC TouchFLO 3D interface, but in blue instead of orange.. PhoneyCall - fake call generator for Windows Mobile - released May 08, 2008; [General] If you can't make it, you should fake it! With this tool for Windows Mobile you can fake incoming call and thus leave the boring meeting or else... and this program fakes not just a sound (ringtone + simulated phone conversation) but it also shows (fake) incoming call on the display! With this program you can fool everybody that you are getting a phone call! Video : chit-chat with Horace Luke from HTC May 08, 2008; [with touch-screen] Previously we have published audio recording of our chit-chat with Horace Luke from HTC, but this time we present Horace Luke in video - albeit only a short one (10 minutes, rationale: our SDHC memory card was full!). The newly released HTC Touch Diamond has a stand-alone YouTube application (developed by HTC in cooperation with Google, that now owns YouTube) and Horace Luke was demonstrating this application and smooth YouTube playback during the main presentation at HTC event on May 6th 2008, so it is only proper that we present video recording with him also through YouTube: HiConcept for Windows Mobile released May 08, 2008; [with touch-screen] The full name of this product is "HiConcept - A Great Toolkit" (note "great" in the name!) and it costs 19.95 USD... and essentially it is a combination of various home screen plugins and utilities similar to several other products.

Go 3.0 released May 07, 2008; [without touch-screen] We remember times when Yahoo hated (literally!) Microsoft so much, that they were offering Yahoo! Go only for Symbian, but not for Windows Mobile. Later it has changed and Yahoo has warmed up to the Microsoft, but it is clear that Yahoo still is not competent about Windows Mobile: UK: BT launches Total Broadband Anywhere with FREE Windows Mobile smartphones May 07, 2008; [without touch-screen] British Telecom (BT) is a former monopoly in the UK and still most DSL lines in UK are using BT lines, so no wonder that this "anywhere" offering is not the best in the world (note: in the UK still there is no such thing as truly unlimited mobile Internet over cellular networks), but since BT includes Windows Mobile phones for customers, who purchase this service, we are happy to inform you about it! Note that BT is even putting its own branding on HTC-made phones:

HTC beats Nokia: HTC releases as the first one a touch-screen phone with tilt sensor - HTC Touch Diamond ! May 06, 2008; [with touch-screen] Nokia plans to release a Symbian S60 touch phone with tilt sensor but there are some issues and this phone is being delayed, and it is HTC, not Nokia, that releases as the first such phone! ... and this phone will be available to all operators and also to all customers without operator branding. The name of this phone is "HTC Diamond" (but it will be sold through operators under different names too) and the most important new feature of this phone is tilt sensor, meaning that you can play games like this (this game will be included in the phone but developers will be able to develop their own games that take advantage of tilt sensor):
... where you can move balls by tilting the phone in various directions! Apart from that you can do many other useful functions like rejecting incoming phone call, rotating Internet browser, etc. with use of this function - it is not just a gimmick useful in games. It is a new revolutionary feature first seen in a phone powered by Windows Mobile (note: previously we postulated to Microsoft to include tilt sensor API in Windows Mobile)! Apart from revolutionary tilt sensor, HTC Touch Diamond brings something wholly new to HTC manufacturing: stylish design! And this design is meant not just in hardware but also in software. Work on HTC Touch Diamond started at HTC in November 2006 - exactly then when Horace Luke :
... has left Microsoft and joined HTC (in other words: when HTC poached him from Microsoft). Everything that we wrote about Horace Luke appeared to be spot-on! But first things first, so let's take a look at a box in which HTC Touch Diamond will be sold (note: it looks like pyramid! ... or a diamond): Out and about - going to HTC event in London today ! May 06, 2008; [with touch-screen] While we strive to provide broad coverage of events on both sides of the pond - USA and Europe - our focus is on depth and multimedia (both video and high-quality audio) rather than on live delivery. Nonetheless we will provide a live coverage of today's HTC event to a certain extent: Previous page   |
