Orange offers sparkly diamonds with HTC Touch
Rating: Lucy in the sky with diamonds - William Shatner version!
They Say: Orange have announced “announced the availability of the HTC Touch Diamond in its Signature devices range.
Orange has selected the Diamond as the first platform for its latest multimedia services, using the phone’s rich 3D-graphics engine and powerful mobile internet capabilities to deliver enhanced applications and services, including Orange Photo, Orange Music, Orange TV and Orange Downloads”
Orange worked closely with HTC to develop the Touch Diamond in the hope that together they can create a more intuitive user experience.
Said Olaf Swantee, EVP of Orange’s global mobile operations ” “Our long-standing relationship with HTC meant they shared their phone concept and worked with us from the earliest stage. This early collaboration is important to us because at Orange, we know that the right multimedia experience is about more than just the phone” adding “With the Diamond from Orange we have created a unique phone which has taken advantage of Orange’s latest service innovation to build upon the consistently rich experience customers expect from Orange.”
We say: It seems the Touch is going to be running Windows Mobile 6.1 but actual specs seem a little short on the ground from Orange but I got these from the HTC site:
