HTC TouchDiamond brings breakthroughs in size, style, connectivity and overall user experience
SYDNEY — HTC Corp., a global leader in mobile phone innovation and design, today launched its new flagship phone, the HTC TouchDiamond, in Australia on Telstra’s Next G™ network – Australia’s largest and fastest 3G network.
Delivering unmistakable style and meticulous craftsmanship, the HTC Touch Diamond is defined by its compact size, superb internet browsing and its new captivating 3D touch interface called TouchFLO 3D. The result is a mobile phone that sets a new benchmark for sophistication and shapes consumer expectations for how a phone can be used.
“We are marking a new era in mobile phone evolution, an era where beauty and size integrate with uncompromising innovation at broadband speeds,” said Peter Chou, president and CEO, HTC Corp. “The HTC Touch Diamond will make browsing the web and using web-enabled applications just as practical and easy to use as making calls.”
Ross Fielding, Executive Director, Telstra Product Management said Telstra has partnered with HTC to bring this innovative new handset to market, giving customers an even greater choice of world leading devices with over 40 handsets and PDAs now available on the Next G™ network.
“Telstra is the market leader in mobiles and we are committed to giving our customers the greatest choice of world leading devices on our flagship Next G™ network, including the new Touch Diamond from HTC,” he said.
Ms Glenice Maclellan, Executive Director, Telstra Consumer Marketing and Channels, said the launch of the HTC Touch Diamond, exclusive to Telstra, is a welcome addition to the vast range of devices already available on Telstra’s super charged Next G™ network.
"With the new HTC Touch Diamond, our customers will enjoy access to Telstra's wide range of rich content, such as Mobile FOXTEL™ from Telstra and BigPond TV at broadband speeds, in more places across Australia that only Telstra's Next G™ network can deliver," she said.
A New Dimension to Touch
HTC has taken a great leap forward in touch screen innovation with the introduction of its new 3D touch interface called TouchFLO 3D. TouchFLO 3D provides animated access to people, messaging, email, photos, music, weather and more. In addition, HTC is introducing a new innovative touch-sensitive control for interacting with the Touch Diamond.
Making the Mobile Internet Fun
With the introduction of the Touch Diamond, HTC delivers an entirely new mobile internet experience that utilises broadband speeds with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA wireless connectivity. Committed to improving web browsing, HTC provides a new customised mobile web browser that enables easy viewing and effortless navigation of websites in the way they were designed. As part of this browsing experience users can zoom and pan websites with one hand and automatically view optimised content that has been especially created to fit the display. Turning the device sideways automatically rotates the web page view from a portrait to landscape view.
In addition to web browsing, the HTC Touch Diamond includes a customised new, HTC-developed, YouTube application for watching a variety of user generated video content.
Unmatched Style and Size
The HTC Touch Diamond is crafted with precision to fit comfortably in a user’s hand without compromising on features or functionality. Blending contrasting design elements of metal and unique geometric facets, the HTC Touch Diamond complements a user’s personal style.
Bursting with Innovation
The HTC Touch Diamond delivers an unrivalled combination of features and functionality that set a new standard for integrating mobile phone innovation into a small package. The 2.8-inch display provides near-print quality viewing that enables beautiful web browsing and viewing of photographs. The built-in camera includes an optical auto-focus lens that ensures the photos you take will be clear and consistent. Advanced wireless and auto sensor screen pivoting are just a few of the features that make the HTC Touch Diamond experience a stand out.
Availability
The HTC Touch Diamond will launch exclusively through Telstra shops and dealers and is expected to be available from mid-August. The HTC Touch Diamond has an RRP of $999 and will be available on an $80 Phone Plan over 24 months.*
