This video shows a port of HTC’s TouchFlo 3D version 1.3 running on a Samsung Omnia 2. TouchFlo looks quite comfortable on the Omnia 2, but 1.3 is a pretty old version. No word on where you could nab this, but if I find out I’ll post the link.

Verizon to launch the HTC Touch Diamond

touch_3-9-09

Verizon will soon be launching the HTC Touch Diamond!

Everything’s what you expect from the HTC Touch Diamond at this point – TouchFLO 3D interface, HSPA/Edge/Wi-Fi, Windows Media Player, 3.2 MP camera with flash, auto focus and video, built-in GPS, weighs 110 grams, 2.8 inch (640 x 480) VGA display, runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro – but there’s been a curious drop in the memory from 256mb to 128mb.

I am curious to see how well stylus based phones can do in the market right now. What do you think – do stylus phones stand a chance?

The network will enable a rich multimedia experience and a high quality telephone connection. It’s currently sitting on the HTC website just waiting its turn.

Alltel launches the HTC Touch Pro

Alltel has jumped on the bandwagon and added the HTC Touch Pro to their smartphone line up. The popular device is going for $279.99 (on contract, of course) with a $100 rebate.

Not many differences with this version but a tweak to the TouchFLO 3D UI from the carrier.

HTC Touch HD software grand tour!

This video from pocketnow shows off some of the cool software on the new HTC Touch HD. And, since the HTC Touch HD doesn’t have a hardware keyboard, be sure to check out the part of the video that takes a look at how usable the on-screen keyboard is — looks great!

This device seems very similar to many of the new Touch devices from HTC and actually runs the same version of TouchFLO 3D as the Samsung XPERIA X1.

HTC Opal hits the FCC

The HTC Opal has finally made its way to the FCC though it appears to be lacking any kind of fanfare from consumers and phone enthusiasts alike.

Why the lack of excitement? 200 MHz TI OMAP 850 processor, 2.8-inch QVGA, 2MP camera, 128 MB RAM/256 MB ROM… how boring! Might as well save some money and get a plain old Touch. What’s new? Well, not really much — Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, the new TouchFLO 3D UI, and a d-pad. Nothing to write home about, certainly.

I, like many others, think this one will stay nice and cozy on the shelf. What do you think?
