French site Geek Inc have managed to get a hold of the HTC Touch HD and have posted some great pictures and comparisons with the iPhone 3G. These are the first real life images we have seen of the device and it is looking rather nice. We have some of the pictures after the break and if you speak French check out their site for their mini review.
Hey, ever wish you could play games with/against persons using different networks and platforms? Well, you’re in luck! At CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment 2008, Mytopia Inc., the leading innovator of real-time cross-platform gaming, announced the expansion of its online social gaming community from leading social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, hi5 and Friendster to MOBILE DEVICES, including iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian, PalmOS and Windows Mobile!
The excellent software Documents To Go is definitely coming to the iPhone. This is good news as the lack of quality applications available so far has been disappointing. If you don’t know this software lets you view, edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, view Adobe® PDF files as well as zip/unzip files on your device. Well this is how it works on a Windows Mobile device, all we know so far is that it is coming and will support these file types but it may just be a viewer, time will tell.

Just been sent this by the guys over at HTC. Normally a device doesn’t hit another finish / colour unless sales are doing well so we can only take by this that the Touch Diamond is selling well.
LONDON — September 16th, 2008 —HTC Corp., a global leader in mobile phone innovation and design, today announces that its popular flagship device, the HTC Touch Diamond, is now available in a new and stunning ice white design.
HTC Touch Diamond in White
Sporting the same great features of the classic black Diamond, the new white model continues the HTC tradition of combining elegant style with leading mobile technology. Featuring an angular facetted look that could have come straight from this season’s New York catwalks, perfect ergonomic design and a smooth gloss finish, the phone has a truly unique feel. Plus, the new white colour adds a touch of class that is set to impress even the most style conscious fashionistas.
Boasting touch-screen controls, along with HTC’s 3D touch interface (TouchFLO 3D), which provides animated access to contacts, messaging, email, photos, music, weather and more, the HTC Diamond isn’t just about good looks on the outside.
Delivering mobile Internet at broadband-like speeds with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA wireless connectivity, along with featuring a customised web browser that enables easy viewing and effortless navigation, surfing the web on the move couldn’t be easier. As part of this browsing experience, users can zoom and pan Websites with one-hand and automatically view optimised content that has been specially created to fit the display. Turning the device sideways will even automatically rotate the web page view from a portrait to landscape.
In addition to Web browsing, the Touch Diamond includes a customized new, HTC-developed, YouTube application for watching a variety of user generated video content as well as utilising Google Maps for mobile, giving access to mapping and traffic data. It also includes a 2.8 inch display which gives near-print quality viewing, a built-in 3.2MP camera with auto-focus lens and Bluetooth connectivity, to deliver unrivalled features and functionality to match its innovative design.

Just had a chat with Mike from Superetrader and he tells me they will have the HTC Touch HD in stock from the 8th November. He has also promised to get us a review device as soon as possible as this is one device that we really need to take a look at. You can register online for availability updates or pre-order the device to be the first to get one when they come in. Mike has promised to keep us up to date on availability information for the Touch HD and the other newly announced devices.
Paul over at Modaco managed to get some hands on time with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 yesterday and has kindly shared a video showing us around the device from the outside and the software side. It really looks like a nice piece of hardware but I do have concerns over the speed especially switching from portrait to landscape which we have seen all too often on these type of phones. Paul does mention that this is a pre-production rom so maybe it will improve before the launch on September 30th. Video after the break
HTC today announced the launch of a "Snow White" Touch Diamond which will be available later this autumn. Born from the same unique heritage of innovation and a deep desire to blend design with simplicity, the white HTC Touch Diamond is delivering unmistakable style and meticulous craftsmanship. The snow white HTC Touch Diamond will sports the same blending contrasting design elements of metal and unique geometric facets the black Touch Diamond featured already.

In case you missed the Sony Ericsson webcast event yesterday showing off the Xperia X1, the guys over at inxperia managed to grab the video and we have it after the break for you to watch. The good news is they missed the first part which to be honest was all the marketing stuff you don’t want to see anyway and it is straight into the hands on section so it is worth a watch if this one is of interest to you.
Well three new HTC devices in one day, it’s too much to take in, this one is the weakest of the three. The Viva will have a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot, 1100 mAh battery, QVGA screen and a 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 CPU, 128 meg Ram and 256 Meg Rom, WiFi b and g, Windows Mobile 6.1 and GPRS / EDGE. This will also have the HTC TouchFlo 3D enhancements but apart from that its pretty average compared to the other two devices, the Touch HD and Touch 3G. Full specs after the break
In another busy day of Windows Mobile handset announcement HTC have announced another handset this time the HTC Touch 3G. This is the updated Touch device and is more like the upgrade we were expecting after the disappointing looking Opal we saw the other week. Check after the break for the full specs and pictures.
