HTC today announced the Touch Diamond, a finger-touch device with a new HTC user interface based on Windows Mobile 6.1. The thin device has HDPSA/HSUPA, a VGA display with auto-rotation, and a custom YouTube application. It will be available from all major European carriers in June, and most of HTC's major carrier partners worldwide later in the year. The new TouchFLO 3D user interface includes an extensive interface with special finger-touch versions of major applications. Carriers can have custom themes and applications fully integrated into TouchFLO 3D. The Touch Diamond also has a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, 4GB of on-board memory, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and GPS.
