HTC Touch Diamond
The good news? The HTC Touch Diamond2 is going to be launching this week in Europe and Asia (and in the US… but only with European bands, sadly). The less-than-good news? Don’t get too excited about the Touch Diamond2, Verizon Wireless customers. Your carrier has just launched… the HTC Touch Diamond. Ouch! Why so behind the times, VW?
The new HTC Touch Diamond combines all the performance and functionality of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with high–tech, innovative TouchFLO 3D Technology on its hi–res touchscreen. View, create, and edit documents in Word and Excel, view PowerPoint and PDF files, filter your Inbox, and stay connected – securely – with your office via ActiveSync or Wireless Sync. Take advantage of Wi–Fi connectivity, Bluetooth Wireless Technology and its 3.2 MP camera with flash and video capture. Use it as a tethered modem with Mobile Broadband Connect (previously named Broadband Access Connect), find your way with VZ Navigator and stay entertained and up to date with Windows Media Player and Visual Voice Mail.
Well, at least now you can see what the first generation Touch Diamonds look like up close and personal. I guess that’s something!

SoftBank’s version of Samsung Omnia – “SoftBank 930SC Omnia”
The Samsung Omnia has finally been announced for Japan – months after the device first launched in Europe. The Japanese version of the handset, however, appears to pack a bit more of a punch than the European version. The “SoftBank 930SC Omnia” has a 3.3 inch TFT touchscreen display and supports a resolution of a whopping 800 x 480 pixels, compared to the 3.2 inch/240×400 pixel display of its European counterpart. The Japanese version of the Omnia also has a cool built-in 1-Seg TV tuner and comes in a choice of colours: black, white, and red.
No word on pricing yet but it looks like SoftBank will begin offering this device starting in November.
