HTC Touch Diamond delayed

Since starting my review of the HTC Touch Diamond many of you have dropped me a line to ask when you’ll be able to get your hands on your own.

The latest news that I have from HTC is that the Diamond has been delayed for up to two weeks. We’re now looking at a worst case 23rd of June for official UK stock. I say UK stock as I have been told that some UK retailers are selling devices imported from Hong Kong.

The official line from HTC is that any HTC Touch Diamond handsets on sale outside of Hong Kong will be grey market imports from that country. These devices were not ordered directly from HTC or their distributors. It also seems that the devices can’t be registered on htc.com and therefore the warranty will not be honoured.

I’m still hoping to get my retail Diamond early next week but I’ll keep you posted!
