The new Touch Diamond is a Microsoft Windows Mobile-based 3G handset with a 2.8-inch touchscreen, GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and 3.2-megapixel camera. The iPhone boasts a 3.5-inch touchscreen, and many of the same wireless technologies, but only has a 2.0-megapixel camera.
Cool New Features
- 2.8-inch touch screen, with four times the pixels of most phones.
- Vibrant TouchFLO 3D user interface, responding perfectly to your finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web, and launching media… all vividly displayed as photos and artwork powered by the 3D graphics processor.
- HTC Weather - providing a constant view of weather at home and abroad.
- Surf and download at broadband speed with HSDPA internet connectivity.
- 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera for quality stills and video.
- 4GB of internal storage to preserve more photos, music, files and exchanged data than ever before.
- Integrated GPS for use with maps software for a full turn-by-turn satellite navigation experience.

Full plastic back
Maybe to avoid the scratches, fingerprints, and grime. But Apple usually upgrades its products by replacing plastic with metal; it’s hard to imagine the company going the other direction unless it had a motive unrelated to aesthetics. Maybe they did this to reduce the new iPhone dimensions at the edges than its predecessor, Apple’s official depth spec for the iPhone 3G is 12.3mm, versus 11.6mm for the original iPhone.) Maybe the metal had an issue with GPS reception? Or Maybe Apple simply had to go with less costly materials when it has now dropped the cost of the iPhone to half.
Bigger Memory in iphone
Since the iPhone-like iPod Touch already comes in a $499 32GB version, Maybe 32MB iPhone is in its making. But I’d be equally surprised if a 64GB iPhone showed up before mid-2009 or so, given the still-imposing cost for that much flash memory.
