Sprint today announced the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, both Windows Mobile 6.1 devices that use a new customized web browser for easy viewing and navigation.
Both handsets offer TouchFLO 3D, a touch screen user interface that controls with the flick of a finger. Users can zoom and pan websites with one hand. With gravity-sensor technology, turning the device sideways rotates the webpage from a portrait to landscape view.
Windows Mobile 6.1 includes Outlook Mobile for email integration, Office Mobile, Windows Live and the ability to run thousands of third-party applications.
The Touch Diamond offers a high-resolution 2.8-inch VGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth technology. Windows Mobile 6.1 provides access to Sprint Music Store song downloads and Sprint TV for live channels.
The Touch Pro adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for data entry, expandable storage with a microSD card slot (1 GB card included) and a business card scanner application to convert business card information to contacts using the built-in 3.2-megapixel camera.
The HTC Touch Diamond will be available beginning in September for $249.99 with a two-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate. The HTC Touch Pro will be available Oct. 19 for $299.99 with a two-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.
