HTC One X Hands-On: The Most Exciting Android Phone To Date Looking a lot like original HTC Touch, this HTC Touch3G was found by Engadget hiding on the HTC Touch HD official page. It looks like it’s got Europe-style 3G, 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, AGPS, Wi-Fi and a 2.8-inch screen. The data also says it’s got the TouchFLO UI, and quad-band GSM. So this phone’s not the Opal, since that’s got EDGE and a Ti Omap processor and this has HSDPA and a Qualcomm chip. It’s not quite as simple as a 3G Touch update, since it’s also got GPS. We’ll have to wait for HTC to stump up official news. Update: It’s now official.
True to their word, the folks at Sprint came through and put the HTC Touch Diamond up for sale today at Sprint.com, just as we said they would. Nothing’s changed since we confirmed the September 14 release date 10 days ago, and that includes the US$250 price tag, with a two-year contract, and US$100 mail-in rebate. The US$200 price point we yearned for earlier did not make a surprise appearance today. Bummer. [Sprint]
The Touch-like HTC Opal we saw renderings of earlier this week looks like it definitely exists, according to these leaked shots. Yeah, if you’re having a hard time seeing a difference from the original Touch, so are we. We saw some specs too that indicate it’s very similar (still no 3G, same processor), but here it is, in the wild. The Touch HD we saw definitely still holds the title of HTC leak-of-the-week, though, and if anything’s going to be a true successor to the original Touch, it’s that, not the Opal. Another shot post-jump. [Pocketpt.net via Boy Genius]
Sprint already confirmed some HTC goodness recently with the Touch Diamond, which drops in September, and today added the Touch Pro to their official lineup, available on October 19th for US$300 with contract, deliciously un-gimped compared to the phone expected to hit Verizon.
Good news for HTC phone owners, Qik is bringing its popular video streaming service to the Touch Dual, Touch Diamond and the TyTn-II. They are also adding two other Windows Mobile phones to the list: The AT&T Tilt, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. All you need to do is set up a free account on the Qik website and you will be streaming video from your handset in no time. [Qik]
Now that the WSJ has had their run with it, Sprint has confirmed that the HTC Touch Diamond will be out on Sept. 14 for US$250 with a two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate. Cheaper than we’d heard, but it would’ve been nice to hit the US$199 mark. [PC Mag]
We’ve been keeping you up to date on the CDMA version of HTC’s Touch Diamond, coming soon to Sprint, but the lucky buggers over at the Wall St Journal got their mitts on one ahead of its launch. It’s fatness turns out to be 15mm in size, partly due to that 1,350 mAh battery good for 4.2 hours of talk time. It comes with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition with a Sprint-customised TouchFLO interface plus a bunch of extras like Dataviz’s Documents to Go Suite, Opera browser, a YouTube app and it works with Sprint TV and the Sprint Music Store. There’s also 4GB of internal memory, a 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth A2DP. The price is now set at US$250, apparently, with 2-year contract, and it’s now due mid-September. [WSJ via CNET]
Obviously, if you love iTunes but do not own an iPhone, syncing your music can be frustrating. Salling Software has developed a solution to this problem with Media Sync—an app that transfers playlists, music and podcasts to a wide array of Nokia, Sony, and Sony Ericsson phones (also works in a limited fashion with the HTC Touch Diamond). The basic Windows / Mac software is free, but you will have to shell out US$22 for the fast sync version. And, naturally, it does not transfer DRM protected tunes. [Salling via Cult of Mac]
We suggested the CDMA version of the Touch Diamond had eaten all the pies last week: Now word is out on its release and Sprint and HTC have chosen not to disguise it. Oh no… they’ve dolled that large rear-end up in a striking red colour. Bizarre, though I guess its in the “if you can’t hide it, make a feature of it” school of thinking. We can at least partly forgive its 13.9mm depth, though, which is due to a 1350mAh battery. It’s due out August 28th on Sprint, costing US$549 for the bare phone, and US$299 on a two-year contract.

Over at BoyGeniusReports is this leaked shot of what’s allegedly the CDMA version of HTC’s fabby Touch Diamond mobile phone. And oh boy, oh boy… that’s one phone that’s not been on a diet: compared to the GSM version sitting on top of it it’s one big ugly fat fellow. Apparently it’s actually “more comfortable to hold,” but you’ve got to wonder about the weight of the gizmo, and the tightness of your pockets. [Howardforums via BGR]
