The HTC Touch Diamond2, a mobile phone designed by the HTC Corporation, is the successor to the popularHTC Touch Diamond. It is also known by its codename, the HTC Topaz. It will be released with Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, but can be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5. It will be the first device to feature a revamped version of HTC's TouchFLO 3D GUI, an interface first seen on its predecessor. The Touch Diamond2 has been announced to be released in Q2 2009 and was first announced at the Mobile World Congress 2009 inBarcelona.
According to an early roadmap leak, an AT&T-branded version may be released in the US. The unlocked version went on sale in the UK on April 15 2009, and in Singapore on April 16.
Hardware
The Touch Diamond2 will utilize a 3.2" wide resistive touchscreen, with a capacitive zoom bar below the screen to replace the larger capacitive area and navigational pad found on the HTC Diamond and Touch Pro. This device, although thicker than its predecessor (13.7 millimetres (0.54 in) thick), now features a significantly larger screen with a better resolution (WVGA rather than VGA).
There were complaints from the Touch Diamond that battery life was quite poor. At MWC 2009, HTC CEO Peter Chou announced the Touch Diamond2 would have 50% better battery life. The camera has been upped from 3.2 megapixels to 5 megapixels. The device will also include expandable memory, meaning users will be able to insert their own microSD cards, rather than relying on internal storage only, as with the original Diamond. HTC has again included an accelerometer for screen rotation detection and a light sensor for automatic backlight adjustment. HTC opted out, however, of including a proximity sensor, a feature prominently featured on their enterprise flagship device, the Touch Pro2.
