It seems like the Windows Mobile device manufacturers have hit the wall with more of the same thing. The HTC Diamond is the latest example. What is innovative about this phone? A 2.8-inch screen? The 3.2 mega pixel camera may be an upgrade. I like the GPS. Anyway, check it out and see what you think. Specs

Highlights

• 2.8-inch touch screen, with four times the pixels of most phones.
• Vibrant TouchFLO 3D user interface, responding perfectly to your finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web, and launching media… all vividly displayed as photos and artwork powered by the 3D graphics processor.
• HTC Weather - providing a constant view of weather at home and abroad.
• Surf and download at broadband speed with HSDPA internet connectivity.
• 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera for quality stills and video.
• 4GB of internal storage to preserve more photos, music, files and exchanged data than ever before.
• Integrated GPS for use with maps software for a full turn-by-turn satellite navigation experience.

Yum yum!

Now, the three devices I am waiting for are the HTC Diamond, the Sony/Ericson Xperia and the Samsung i900.

I'm guessing the Sony/Ericson and HTC devices will hit American shores first.

HTC Diamond -

Battery Rechargeable Lithium-ion or Lithium-ion polymer battery
Capacity: 900 mAh

Wow! That seems like a small battery for a device like this. So, I'm betting, like soon after the Blackjack I appeared, a larger battery placed under a separately purchased back cover will be available.

Display 2.8-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with VGA resolution

That, along with all the other specs, is what makes is appealing to me. A 2.8" VGA screen should look amazing!

The tilt feature is nice but a 3.5 inch screen like a certain other phone sports would be even better with the Touch format. Maybe that is coming.
