HTC beefs it up with their Touch Pro2 and Diamond2

Obviously already in the front of the line with their Touch Pro, HTC just unveiled a device that even outshines the Pro — the Touch Pro2. Yes, they did manage to make some nice improvements to an already very smart phone.

HTC says they are gearing the Touch Pro2 for business professionals,although I think most could appreciate what this device has to offer. They re-vamped the style a tad, and stuck on a touch sensitive zoom slider to work with the improved high resolution 3.6-inch 800 x 400 screen that replaced the previous VGA screen.

It of course features a large “finger-friendly QWERTY keyboard.” It has expandable memory, the battery life is better, there are gravity, ambient light, and proximity sensors so it is fully optimized for touch as well as a barrage of emailing.

They also introduced what is called “Straight Talk” for the Pro2. This allows users to integrate email, voice and speakerphone usage. You can switch easily from emailing to calling the boss, or to a group conference call.

Also introduced today in Barcelona, was the Diamond2. The big selling point of the Diamond2 is that they design it to fit perfectly in the hand. It also features a bigger 3.2 inch wide screen display, as well as the touch sensitive zoom bar. And the Diamond2 is a mere 13.7 mm thick.

The Diamond2 is specially designed for those who are apparently busy with their other hand. It is optimized for one hand use. It also comes with battery life that is fifty percent better than its predecessor, expandable memory, the gravity and ambient light sensor, and even a five mega-pixel auto focus camera. You’ve also got the new version of TouchFLO 3D which runs on Windows Mobile, although the same processor is was in the original Diamond is still running it (528MHz). Still a nice package with a snazzy new look.

Both will be available in Europe and Asia in “early Q2 2009″, with later release dates for other places to follow. Keep it right here for more info as it comes in.
