HTC Touch Diamond has been recently awarded by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) as the “European smart phone”.
First announced in May 2008 and became available the same month in Asia and, one month later, in June, all over Europe, the smartphone is one of the hottest Windows Mobile devices of 2008.
The EISA description for the HTC Touch Diamond says, “The Touch Diamond’s glossy, shiny case contains an operating system based on Windows Mobile v6.1 Pro, enhanced with a new 3D TouchFlo interface. Images on the 2.8-inch VGA touch-screen are very sharp and clear, making the Touch Diamond a refreshing and rewarding device to use. No user will want for anything in terms of functions, since HTC has included a 3.2 Megapixel camera, 4GB of internal memory, an FM radio and GPS navigation. Connectivity options include HSDPA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB. By achieving such slick looks and performance, the Touch Diamond is a clear winner”
