Diamond is available in all Cellular South retail locations and online at
http://www.cellularsouth.com. Cellular South is offering the device for
voice contract and a one-year data agreement.
The power-packed PDA device features a sharp 2.8-inch touch screen with
four times the resolution of most phones, 3G high-speed broadband data
capability on Cellular South’s nationwide network of networks, a TouchFlo
touch-screen interface designed to be used with just one finger and the
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional platform for enterprise-class communications
and integration needs.
“Cellular South’s reputation for helping our customers get more out of
their wireless devices is certainly strengthened with the addition of the HTC
Touch Diamond,” said
the wireless carrier. “This device promises to make browsing the mobile web
and using web-enabled applications just as practical and easy as making a
phone call.”
The phone also features:
-- 4 GB of internal storage
-- 192 MB of RAM
-- An integrated GPS receiver for use with map software and full
turn-by-turn satellite navigation
-- 3.2 megapixel digital camera with auto-focus
-- Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
-- 802.11g wi-fi wireless connectivity
-- A combined USB and audio jack
-- A VGA-resolution video camera for video conferencing applications
-- An integrated FM radio receiver
-- A built-in microphone and speaker
-- A rechargeable lithium-ion battery
The HTC Touch Diamond sports a distinctive look with a solid brushed
metal, matte finish frame and aims to improve the mobile web browsing
experience by using a customized Opera Mobile 9.5 browser that enables users
to zoom and pan across web pages with one finger as well as view pages
optimized to fit the display.
Cellular South customers also will be able to take advantage of a new
Windows mobile web homepage designed exclusively for the HTC Touch Diamond
with touch screen-activated tiles that offer one-button access to sports,
news, weather, entertainment and travel, games, e-mail and social networking
sites and other valuable content.
“The HTC Diamond is just the right size,” Richmond said. “It’s small
enough to operate with one hand and one touch, but big enough for customers to
enjoy vibrant and crisp images and text on its large display.”
Richmond said the device also should appeal to enterprise users who want
the productivity offered by the integration of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
with mobile versions of Microsoft Office’s productivity suite of Internet
Explorer, Windows Media player and Mobile Outlook, which can link to Microsoft
Exchange servers for e-mail, calendars, contact information, to-do lists and
more.
“This device is the perfect marriage of features and applications that
appeal to the working professional who enjoys their leisure time,” Richmond
said, noting that users can interact with Google, YouTube and Wikipedia as
freely as with a notebook computer on a broadband connection.
In addition to receiving top honors as
Touch Diamond has garnered praise from MSMobiles.com, which said the device is
better than the iPhone in several areas, including higher resolution display,
smaller size, higher resolution camera and tilt sensor technology.
