Touching… The Touch Pro!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 12 2008 - 65 views

Now the HTC Diamond, is emerging in the states, sometime soon, it’s been available in Oz for a while through Telstra. So having had the opportunity to get some hands on time in Telstra’s new stores, that offer real, working devices to try out, I’m faithfully waiting for the Touch Pro to appear down under.

Comparatively, it has quite a small form factor, similair to the tilt, with the design nuances of the Diamond. The attraction I have for the Touch Pro is the hardware keyboard, and the specs of course.

Ryan Block over at Engadget has done a great gallery of photo’s that really show the sleek and stylish Touch Pro at it’s best , and the thing that stand’s out to me is it’s visual symmetry. It seems to be well proportioned, and to have the quality build of recent HTC devices.

You wont have to deal with that company that will remain unnamed, that has apparently ruined the iPhone experience north of the border. Looks like Telus, has got the drop on the HTC Touch Diamond on the side of the pond that’s not Europe. Although it’s a CDMA version, and you’ll have to sign up for a three year contract (Eek), if the Diamond is forever, for you, you’ll be migrating for sure.

If you’ve been following the news you’ll know it’s an awesomely speced WinMo device, It’s got a 528 MHz processor, ROM: 256 MB
RAM: 192 MB DDR SDRAM and WM 6.1, nothing to be sneezed at there right?

So how did Canada manage to wangle the first release of the Diamond?

I don’t know!
