Loading ...HTC have released some press images of the Touch Diamond, as well as more spec details. We now know that the smartphone uses a Qualcomm 528MHz processor, which goes some way to explaining those super-smooth TouchFLO 3D menu animations, as well as a front-mounted camera for video calls and, for some reason overlooked in HTC’s presentation, GPS navigation. The dimensions of the Touch Diamond have also been released: at 102 x 51 x 11.33mm and 110g, it’s smaller and lighter than the iPhone (which measures in at 115 x 61 x 11.6mm and 135g).
However the pay-off for a smaller body, considering the hardware buttons at the base of the handset, is a smaller screen than the iPhone’s 3.5-inches. It’s higher resolution, though, at full VGA - 480 x 640 - compared to the iPhone’s 320 x 480.

What about Micro/MiniSD

…Front mounted camera? Unless there are two cameras on the phone (which I’m somewhat skeptical of) there is CLEARLY a camera in the back of the phone. Unless, that is, they like to label a random pointless hole on the back of the phone, “F2.8 Auto Focus 3.2 Megapixel”

Yes, there are two cameras: the main 3.2MP one for photos and video on the back, and then a VGA camera on the front, upper right hand corner, for video calls. Many 3G phones have two cameras.
