Starting today you can get the unlocked U.S. 3G-enabled version of the HTC Touch Diamond for $699.99 at Best Buy.

They also say the device will be shipped within one business day. We don't know if that's true.

It's a pity they don't have the white variant, though...

Coolsmartphone claim they've got suggested pricing for the three upcoming HTC handsets. Here they are:

• HTC Touch HD - £514.99;
• HTC Touch 3G - £319.99 (£349.99 with maps);
• HTC Touch Viva - £209.99

However, these prices aren't confirmed yet, so rather wait for the official announcement.

Here is the first video demo (in French) of the upcoming HTC Touch HD. The guy told us nothing we don't know, so just enjoy the video.

It looks like once again Alltel has decided to follow Sprint's path and get the same handset, this time the HTC Touch Pro.

No, the company didn't announce that, it's just a rumor, backed up with this photo of what appears to be an Alltel-branded Touch Pro. Word on the street has it that the said handset will be released "soon" after the Touch Diamond.

Don't ask us when.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the upcoming HTC Dream / G1 will be available for $199 with 2-year contract when it launches on T-Mobile in less then a week.

A worthy competitor to the iPhone 3G, don't you think?

Just to let you know, Telus and HTC have released a Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the Telus' S720, the CDMA variant of the Vox.

The update adds support for EV-DO Rev. A and improves "overall device functionality and stability".

That's all we know, unfortunately, but we insist that you update your device nevertheless.

The new HTC Touch HD is now available for pre-order at Clove for an "insignificant" price of £495 ($880) before VAT. But hey, that's the usual price you have to pay to be one of the first to get the upcoming device. Clove will start shipping the Touch HD in November.

T-Mobile has confirmed that it will announce the first Android-based phone (G1) at an event in New York City on September 23rd. The release is scheduled for the end of October, and while the price remains unknown, it's been said that HTC plans to ship around 600,000 to 700,000 units of the handset.

Ever wondered how a white HTC Touch Diamond would look? Well here it is, and it looks amazing, even though it's the same old Diamond under the hood. Expect it to become available in October.

These are the official specs of the recently unveiled HTC Touch HD, taken from a page at HTC's website. The device will be announced tomorrow, but we still have no info on the release date and pricing, and we still want to see this thing running Android instead of WM 6.1.

HTC Touch HD specifications:

• 3.8" 800 x 480 touchscreen;
• 5Mpix camera + front-facing VGA camera for video calls;
• 3.
