Tracy and Matt have reported that the Diamond will not be available to business users. It isn’t suitable. Why? Battery life? Touch3D too cool?
The first thing I read about the Diamond way back when was the idea that when your phone rings and The A Team theme blares out in meetings you can simply flip it over and it would shut up. Sounds like HTC had business users in mind when they invented.
Who knows, maybe they will push the Diamond as their fun phone and the Touch Pro as the professional model, if they agree to stock it.

See the pictures after the break.

Despite the flurry of all the iPhone related news, there is other news around today. Its Windows Sideshow gadgets. It would be awesome to view Media Centre content on your Windows mobile device. Guess what? You might be able to some day. Probably very slowly if the integrated Media Centre on the Xbox 360 is anything to go by. But who knows, it might work well and revolutionise your need to onboard storage and syncing.
The Unwired has all the biz over there.
O2 today announced that Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 3G will go on general sale from 8.02am on Friday 11 July in O2, Apple and Carphone Warehouse retail stores*. To ensure fairness, O2 will sell the device on a strictly first come, first served basis to both new and upgrading customers in all retail outlets.
Since O2 went live (or as discussed here, dead) with online ordering of the new iPhone 3G they have provided some details on what you need to order and also answer some questions on upgrading, activation, returns and warranty. Full details can be found after the break and it makes interesting reading especially the part about activation at home.
According to O2’s website the iphone 3G is sold out already, that is 8 gig and 16 gig models, Come back on the 10th July for more information!!! Makes you wonder how many were actually available in the first place.
