I am an every day joe just like you. I have recently quit my job so that I can go back to school, and am leaning towards Web Development/Design or Software Engineering as my desired career.
For the record these are not mine. I am far away from London, but would love to have my hands on this right now. Keep an eye in. You can troll youtube for clips or check back here. Whenever I find a hands on video I will add it.
It looks pretty fluid with minimal lag (some is to be expected) and I like the use of directional pad (if you can call it that.)
So, I was looking a bit closer at the Diamond pictures and this one is named accessories. Seeing earphones and a charger is no big deal, but has HTC even mad an official Attractive Dock for this phone. I want a video about the dock.
I am going to leave the computer in a moment, and read some later this evening. I am sure there will be more info out then.
This has a really good looking design (better than I imagined.) The Diamond will come with a VGA Screen, Orientation sensor, GPS and apparently all of the specs that were leaked. Opera Mobile 9 will be built in to the rom and a built in Youtube App (that they say will be the best mobile youtube experience) are a few things that we have not heard yet. (They had Google's help developing the app.)
Battery life from the specs on their site: Battery Rechargeable Lithium-ion or Lithium-ion polymer battery Capacity: 900 mAh Talk time:
* Up to 270 minutes for WCDMA * Up to 330 minutes for GSM
Standby time:
* Up to 396 hours for WCDMA * Up to 285 hours for GSM
Video call time: Up to 145 minutes for WCDMA (The above are subject to network and phone usage.) (They are planning a bigger battery for those who need it.)
No telling how it will differ for us on this side of the pond.
It is to be released starting in Europe in June.
The website that I reported last night is officially linking to Diamond Information on HTC's website.
Go here for high res pics. Also there are a few wallpapers on this site. 1680x1050! Score! A new desktop for me.
May of you probably know that there is a press conference in London tomorrow for HTC. Rumours (since it is London I feel it is only appropriate to spell it this way)have been swirling about what it would be about. Many people thought that it would be about Dream, HTC's first device running Android, but now the consensus is that it will be about the new Handset that has leaked, the HTC Diamond. I was thinking about this a bit and decided to try something and went to www.htcdiamond.com. I was pleasantly surprised when something happened. I expected a website that was occupied by someone who bought the url when the information about this device started leaking. what I found was that this URL linked directly to HTC's website about the Touch Cruise.
Now this is nothing really big by any means, but I guess it is just something to help add anticipation to tomorrow's event. So, are you getting up early to watch it online?
