Undressing the HTC Diamond is like meeting a new best friend and HTC is counting on the touchscreen marvel making 2 million other such friends in 2008.

The gorgeous iPhone contending smartphone packs a 3D TouchFLO interface that has got the chattering classes choking on their tongues, a unique design and a beautiful VGA screen set to make using this HTC WinMo phone a dream.

They are already on their way to a feeding frenzy with Telecom operators snapping up early purchases - Taiwan-based Chunghwa Telecom plans to order 20,000-30,000 Touch Diamond handsets alone for a population of 23 million people.


First Taiwan, then the world.
