HTC Diamond Vs. Apple iPhone – the ultimate specs comparison

htc-apple-face-off.jpg

The Touch Diamond handset was announced on Tuesday by HTC, and as expected, every blog and newspaper is calling it the first real ‘iPhone killer’. And here was me thinking we’d expired that term!

Obviously, the Diamond and iPhone have some similarities (even hired similar hand-models!), but the main difference which is dividing everyone’s affections boils down to the original format wars – Mac vs. PC. Want a concise break-down of the pros and cons of each mobile? Whoomp, there it is – below the jump…

HTC not scared of iPhone launch, announces 3G Touch Diamond smartphone with June release date

htc-diamond-mobile.jpg

HTC has today announced what we were all expecting, the touchscreen Diamond smartphone which is due to be the follow-up to the popular consumer-led Touch.

Running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, it lacks a hardware keyboard, with the 2.8″ touchscreen being an obvious draw. As expected, it’s 3G enabled, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and a 3.2-megapixel camera. An impressive internal storage of 4GB, it also features a microSD slot within its 10.7mm of thinness…

Next Tuesday HTC is holding a London press conference where attendees can ‘witness the next wave of HTC innovation’.

HTC is already down in the books as being a member of the Open Handset Alliance schemewith Google, and will be releasing an Android handset later this year apparently, however it’s looking likely next Tuesday will usher in the Diamond model, a 2.8″ touchscreen HSDPA mobile, the first of the HTC clan to run on Windows Mobile 6.1….

HTC's Shift UMPC available from today across Europe

This may be mobile-related, but it’s not actually derived from the MWC, as we first saw the Shift back in October of 2007.

Still, the big announcement is that it’s available from today, exclusive to Orange in the UK, Telefonica in Spain and TIM in Italy.

Need a refresher on the specs? Sure, I’m only happy to oblige, as this is one hot piece of UMPC ass. With HSDPA internet…

MWC 2008: HTC doesn't exactly wow with their GPS P3470 smartphone

Would you believe that HTC has signed up TomTom, and packed their Navigator 6 GPS system into the P3470, announced today at MWC?

Sadly it’s only got EDGE support, but this is because it’s ‘affordable’, a fairly entry-level handset which isn’t really reflected with an entry-level price: this baby is €449.

Still, the lightweight candybar features a large (2.8″) QVGA touchscreen (similar to the Touch), and meagre 2-megapixel…

Mio planning 3G GPS phone for 2008

mio-gps.jpgGPS is the final piece of the mobile phone world domination plan. Mobiles can play music now. They can play films. They can do the internet. All we need now are decent, free GPS features and every other gadget can get the hell out of our pockets and onto eBay.

GPS specialist Mio’s 3G GPS phone plans are a response to the mass arrival of the new wave of super-spec GPS phones…

HTC adds another model to their Touch family, the Touch Cruise with GPS

htc-touch-cruise.jpgI’m a firm advocate of the HTC Touch family, having been an obsessive user of the first-gen model since it launched in June, and been salivating over the new Touch Dual we saw back in October. Heck, even the purple Ted Baker-branded Touch from the other week has got me dreaming of the day my mobile contract expires.

Sadly it doesn’t look like my obsessive thoughts about the Touch are going to be disappearing any time soon, as they’ve just…
