After much waiting, Rogers has finally released the HTC Touch Diamond for a pretty good promo price of $199.99 on a 3-year contract. You’ll also need to sign up for a minimum $45 data/voice plan, but that’s nothing unusual.
If you’d rather stray from the norm and pick up the device sans data plan, here are your pricing options:
- 3-year contract: $449.99 (Voice only)
- 3-year contract: $499.99 (Data only – WTF? True, this IS available…)
- 2-year contract: $549.99
- 1-year contract: $549.99
- Month-to-Month $599.99
The cool deal about the Rogers HTC Touch Diamond, is the back of the device is actually cut like a ‘Diamond’… With all of the faceted edges. Looks really cool. The Bell and Telus version of the device has a flat back to it. From a design standpoint I like the idea of the ‘diamond’ style backing… But for usability and such, the flat backing sounds more utilitarian. Setting it down on a table with a flat back just makes more sense to me. Setting a device down with an uneven surface doesn’t seem right. Maybe I’m getting a little too picky here. Depends what you like.
Key features of the Rogers HTC Touch Diamond:
- TouchFLO 3D interface
- HSPA/Edge/Wi-Fi
- Windows Media Player
- 3.2 MP camera with flash, auto focus and video
- Built-in GPS
- 4GB of internal memory
- Weighs 110 grams
- 2.8 inch (640 x 480) VGA display
- Runs on Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
If any of you regular and die-hard fans of IntoMobile are thinking about buying me an xmas present… The Rogers HTC Touch Diamond will do just fine. Simply sign me up for the 3-year dealy-o and I’ll be very, very happy. Thanks 😛
Note: Just did a quick scan of the Rogers site, and I can’t find the HTC Touch Diamond available online… yet. At least not in my area. I’m sure it will pop up soon, perhaps after the initial in-store promo pricing is complete.
