We're hearing about delays in the HTC Touch Diamond from a few people ordering through Orange. Will Cannon said that some of the devices had to be returned because of a fault with the back of the phone. Apparently this was causing the battery to fall ...

Shh.. you've got to keep this on the down-low. We're hearing that the T-Mobile Compact IV is actually in stock on T-Mobile UK. This is pretty much the same device as the rather splendid HTC Touch Diamond - albeit with a smooth back end and slightly tw...

Sure, we've seen the HTC Touch Diamond and the HTC Touch Pro, but what about the two together? Well, it turns out that the sleeky, slender HTC Touch Diamond is even more sleek and slender when compared to the Touch Pro. The QWERTY-packing Touch Pro ad...
The HTC Touch Diamond has just popped onto the Coming Soon section of Orange.co.uk. No prices as yet, but we're hoping Orange manage to come up with a good data tariff for prospective "personal" customers. A device like this, which shows full web page...
When we took a look at the HTC Touch Diamond we noticed that a couple of photos seemed a little blurred. This shot in particular seemed to show the issue and we quickly worked out that the small plastic cover for the camera lens was just where your …

Since doing our special "Week with the HTC Touch Diamond" video blogs we've seen other sites picking up the handset and commenting on it. Some of you may have seen these sites calling the interface "slow". Indeed we had a couple of issues with the ear...
We've covered the HTC Touch Diamond in depth through our special report and all eight videos detailing our "week with" the handset. Now that magical day has finally arrived - you can buy the official UK model over at devicewire.co.uk. Selling for £4...
It's all been a little quiet of late. To be honest we're all waiting for those recently "announced" phones to become "available" phones. The HTC Touch Diamond has, at least, taken a step closer on Vodafone. Vodafone now joins Orange and T-Mobile in a...
We've already heard about the HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) and the T-Mobile incarnation (MDA Vario IV), but Coolsmartphone reader Lawrence has just pointed us to these photos of the upcoming device. No computer graphics here - this is the actual MDA Vario ...
We've been getting more details about the HTC Touch Diamond and when you'll be able to get it. It seems that the devices Expansys are selling for £494.95 are indeed imports and not UK stock. These devices also seem to be more expensive than they shou...
Well, here it is guys - the official press release for the upcoming "Diamond-with-QWERTY-keyboard" known previously as the HTC Raphael. We've seen it previously as the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV but the press release reveals that HTC will be selling it as ...
We've had a few emails stating that the boys of expansys.com have already got the first stock of the HTC Touch Diamond in the UK. However, these units appear to be "grey" imports, which means that UK warranties wouldn't apply. HTC are apparently less...
Alright, alright - I've made you wait long enough. The weekend special is now finally online. Sure, I said there'd be an extra two videos, but instead I've squashed into a colossal 37 minute movie. We've got the new final ROM, so YouTube gets another ...
Hmmm... we're always a bit dubious when anonymous emails turn up with specs for upcoming phones, but this one looks too good to ignore. The phone in question is the HTC Raphael, although the mail calls it the HTC Touch Pro and we've also seen it as th...
Day 7 ! But is this the end? No, of course not. We've been absolutely bombarded with questions and there's been so many we now need a couple of extra days to answer them! In this episode we show the speed of the GPS fix, the call "ignore" …
TheUnwired.net have news on the official specs of the upcoming HTC Raphael (imagine the Diamond + QWERTY slider). As predicted the specs are pretty identical to the HTC Touch Diamond, however there is apparently a microSD card slot and 512Mb ROM with ...
Yep, it's day 6 already and we've got another wobble-cam special ;) In our continuing look at the HTC Touch Diamond we get a good look today at two very important features for new users - the ringtone selection and the FM radio. I've also had many req...
These HTC Touch Diamond videos are proving to be a huge hit from what I'm hearing. This level of interaction and real Q&A is brilliant. The "action cam" nature of the videos and my sloppy editing seems to be scoring highly too.... who knew eh? :) I've...
Getting a bit sick of all these HTC Touch Diamond stories by now? ;) How about the first shots of the HTC Raphael ? Here they are, over at gsmhelpdesk.nl. Imagine the HTC Touch Diamond with a slidey-out keyboard and you're there. This is the dressed-f...
Today is the heavy battery test. I've been out and about, using the WinMo 6.1 HTC Touch Diamond alongside the WinMo 6.0 HTC TyTN II handset. I've hooked it up to the same Microsoft Exchange server on the same email account, so we've got an always-on d...
Well, another day and we've got yet another video for you. The HTC Touch Diamond has been in my pocket over the last few days and has helped me get to the airport via GPS, check flight times via WiFi and even see what the weather is like …
It's Sunday, so it's day 2 of our week with the HTC Touch Diamond. I've had stacks of questions through the forum post yesterday so I've tried to answer the majority in the new video. Thanks so far for all your questions and do keep them coming, I'm …
Well, here it is - the HTC Touch Diamond. We've managed to get it for a whole week so I've decided to do a "day by day" diary of my thoughts. This is going to be my main phone for the next 7 days, so I've swapped my …
After selling a million HTC Touch devices in just a few months, HTC have announced that they expect to sell two million Diamond handsets this year. Given the fact that sales may not start until late June, this means a doubling of the sales made by the...
The HTC P6500 is, I'll admit, a rather chunky handset. It's a hard-wearing device that you'll probably see being used in demanding environments outside the comfort of most offices. Equipped with 3G, WiFi, a 3 megapixel camera, two SDIO slots, Bluetoot...
For the geeky amongst us, you may be interested to know that the HTC Touch Diamond has now popped up at the FCC. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a US agency charged with regulating communications in or originating in the USA. This docum...
We're hearing more news on Windows Mobile 6.1 for existing devices. According to some emails we've received, Orange will be rolling out a 6.1 update for the HTC TyTN II mid-May, so we should see it pop up sometime next week. Keep checking the TyTN II...
OK, I'll keep this quick because I know you've probably got "Diamond Overload" by now :). If you didn't catch our live video feed from the event, HTC have now added a full video of the event so you can see and hear exactly how the phone was …
Yes, yes, we know you're probably sick of hearing about the HTC Touch Diamond by now, but we've at last managed to get the official T-Mobile press release about launch dates, pricing and more. The device has a "GPU" (graphics processing unit) to help ...
There's a helluva lot of news floating around right now about the "all-new" T-Mobile MDA Compact IV. It is, of course, the HTC Touch Diamond we've been covering the last few days. Despite our best efforts we've been unable to find a mention of it on t...
We managed to get a hands-on with the HTC Touch Diamond this afternoon. One thing you probably will be needing for this handset is a wipe-clean cloth! :) You can see even more pictures on my flickr page. However, if you haven't already seen the offici...
On Tuesday I will be bringing you total coverage of a massive announcement by HTC. HTC, as many of you know by now, make the majority of the Windows Mobile phones on sale. Leaks about a possible new handset - the HTC Diamond - have been flying around …
The Taipei Times has just posted a story on HTC, makers of most of the Windows Mobile phones on the market. It seems to confirm the HTC "Diamond" and it's referred to within the article, although not by HTC staff. HTC Financial Executive Cheng Hui-min...
