HTC smartphones are already available in Japan through NTT DoCoMo and Softbank. And now KDDI, which is the second largest carrier in the country is about join them. The first HTC handset offered by the company will be the E30HT - a renamed HTC Touch Pro scheduled for release sometime in spring 2008.
Today at CTIA in San Francisco Sprint has officially announced the HTC Touch Diamond coming to its network on September 14th, and the Touch Pro on October 19th. The Diamond first will be available for $249 on a 2-year contract after a $100 rebate, and the Touch Pro will cost you $299 on the same terms. Very nice of Sprint to get these two. :)
This here appears to be the HTC Touch HD. Most people would first of all notice its cool large WVGA display. The design of the device slightly reminds of the BlackBerry Storm, but these things are very different.
The new iPhone 2.1 software update is coming soon for iPhone (3G) and iPod touch. Some of its main improvements are fixed crashes, longer battery, and faster backups, but there was no word on the copy/paste function. Oh well, we'll see it on Friday. Be informed, that owners of the iPod touch will have to shell out $10 to get their player updated.
Best Buy has launched a pre-order page on its website offering the unlocked HTC Touch Diamond for a low price of $699.99. It's a great deal for such a handset! The North American 3G wasn't in the speclist, hopefully they will revise it before the launch, as using only Wi-Fi won't do...
Update: Yes, it will sport U.S. 3G, now it's confirmed.
The HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) has been approved for AT&T under the name of Fuze. It will support HSUPA 850/1900 data network, and will have a customized TouchFLO 3D interface. That's all we know judging by the available info.
According to PC Magazine, Sprint is all set to release the CDMA version of the HTC Touch Diamond on September 14 for $249.99 on a 2-year contract after a $100 rebate.
With the Touch Pro just around the corner, we wonder how much love this thing is going to take...

A red HTC Touch Diamond? Could be... This actually looks like a photoshop render, but with all the previous red handsets released by Sprint it is quite possible we'll see one of these live. I sure hope so...
