The HTC Touch Diamond that was recently announced is coming to T-Mobile (EU, not sure about UK or US). I usually don’t comment on operators getting a device and slapping their logo on it, but this is a bit different. The T-Mobile version of the Diamond known as the MDA Compact IV (first picture) has soft round edges versus the hard geometric lines we’ve previously seen. Also new to the lineup is the MDA Vario IV (second picture) which looks like the MDA Compact IV, but it has a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

Both of these devices have the same specifications you’re used to already: GPS, HSDPA, HSUPA, 3.2 megapixel camera.

    In fact the HTC Touch Diamond is so much nicer that t-mobile mock up, it is nasty!!
