HTC says the Touch Diamond is an “uncompromising mobile phone that sets a new benchmark for phone sophistication and shapes consumer expectations for how a phone can be used.”

HTC’s touch screen system – already seen on the original HTC Touch – has “taken a great leap forward” to become a 3D touch interface called TouchFLO 3D.

TouchFLO 3D provides animated access to people, messaging, email, photos, music, weather and more. 

Not one to understate things, president and CEO of HTC Peter Chou said today marked “a new era in mobile phone evolution”.

“An era where beauty and size integrate with uncompromising innovation at broadband speeds,” he added.

“The HTC Touch Diamond will make browsing the web and using web-enabled applications just as practical and easy to use as making calls.”
