HTC Touch Diamond

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!

This isn’t the first time that HTC and One & Co have worked together. In fact, they’ve been working together since 2006 to create the popular handset the HTC Touch Diamond. With the full acquisition of One & Co, HTC hopes to bring new innovative handsets to the market.

I am very excited to see what weird and wonderful devices come out of this team up!

It’s like spotting a unicorn! You always wanted to believe knew it existed, but you’d just never seen one… but here it is! Taiwanese site ePrice has pictures of the white HTC Touch Diamond up. Now, I normally hate the look of white electronics and gadgets – I’m a black/metal fan (the finish/coat kind not the headbanging air guitarist kind) but I must say – it looks pretty cool in white.

Yep – you read that right. HTC is expecting to sell 3 million of their Touch Diamond devices by the end of 2008!

On November 21, HTC CEO Peter Chou said that before the end of the year the company expects to sell up to a million G1 (Android) devices and are expected to hit the 3 million mark with their popular Windows Mobile device, the HTC Touch Diamond.

HTC’s Chou also denied rumours of a pending layoff as well as rumours of decreased orders – proudly proclaiming that HTC was too tough for the global economic recession to weigh down. The company’s condition is so good, in fact, that they’re currently looking at acquiring a handset design company in the US.

Two awesome hacks from XDA-Developers in one day! Woo hoo!

This time one that allows you to ‘enable’ (read: re-enable) Internet Sharing on your HTC Touch Diamond, Sprint Touch Pro, AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) and the Samsung Epix!

Now, this is a registry key edit so use at your own risk as we’re never 100% sure of how these things will turn out sometimes.. but if you’re desperate for Internet Sharing (or brave and up for a challenge) try out this trick…

[ad]

First off, you’ll need a registry editor like Total Commander. Then you’ll need to delete the entire key, not just the value, which does something different depending on the value assigned) in this modification. You will want to delete ForceCellConnection, which is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings.

Restart your device and… voila! Let us know how it works out for you!
