The folks at BGR have come along with some new pictures of the Verizon HTC Touch Diamond. The images will certainly get any HTC fan excited in the US. The device itself is a test model that comes complete with that unique faceted back. I love that look. Memory on the Touch Diamond might be…
HTC A296 is disgustingly ugly, fake
Chinese handset makers are getting worse with the day. Lately we’ve spotted their new “work” called HTC A296. Not surprisingly, this device (pictured above) has nothing to do with the famous Taiwan-based smartphone manufacturer. The “designers” behind the ultra-ugly phone only “borrowed” few lines from the HTC Diamond, yet decided to place the sliding numeric…

HTC Slapped With Patent Infringement Suit
IPCom made some lofty demands of HTC recently, primarily that they pay licensing fees for UMTS technology in Windows Mobile and Android handsets. Are the demands justified? German courts say so, and ruled in favour of IPCom in late February. HTC (and now Google, since a separate complaint has been filed) is in a position…
Black HTC Magic Images Spotted on the Web
Oooooh, some new HTC Magic stuff for everyone this morning. Seems that the new HTC Magic has been spotted in Black, as you can see from the image above and after the jump. For my tastes I still prefer the white (I carry a white iPhone 3G), but hey, this is all personal choice. One…

So, does Microsoft’s bridge to Windows Mobile 7, known as Windows Mobil5 6.5, have what it takes to compete with the arguably more appealing mobile platforms out there? With its refreshed UI and that finger-friendly honeycomb launcher, Windows Mobile will be the best Windows Mobile to date, that much is certain. But, we’re going to…
Remainder of HTC Lineup Specs Leaked
Remember that extensive HTC roadmap that spilled the beans on the HTC Maple, Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2? Well, the specs for the whole lot just got leaked. A lot of them are aiming for Windows Mobile 6.5, but let’s let the numbers do the talking. Whitestone: 3.6″ WVGA display GSM and EVDO Qualcomm…
AT&T Fuze gets a firmware update, too
Just when we posted that generic (i.e. non-carrier specific) versions of the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro are getting firmware updates, we’ve heard the AT&T Fuze (aka Touch Pro with AT&T’s 3G frequencies) will be getting the same treatment. Actually, we’re not quite sure it’s exactly the same update that will come for the…
HTC Dream coming to Orange France for 99 EUR!

Interested users will be able to grab the full QWERTY AZERTY keyboard-equipped, Android-powered smartphone for 99 EUR on a two-year contract. Unfortunately, it’s not just any contract but the…
Arnold Schwarzenegger Poses With the HTC Magic
In a strange little bit of fun news, the HTC PR department has somehow managed to do something quite interesting. They managed to get the ‘Governator’ Arnold Schwarzenegger to pose pleasantly with the new HTC Magic. Initially I thought this would be a photoshop job for sure, but I have no evidence to support or…
