HTC has just uncovered at a plushy event in London its newest touchscreen gem -the HTC Touch Diamond! Now, can the Diamond shine brighter than the iPhone? HTC, the Taiwanese handset producer has established the challenge to Apple with its slender and slick new phone that aspires to dislodge Apple's iPhone from its place as the leading touch-screen device.

HTC Touch Diamond being 11.3 mm thick, gains 0.3mm edge over iPhone, it is narrower and a little shorter as well and weighing 3.9 ounces it's nearly an ounce lighter. Typing is much easier with its more responsive screen compared to the touch-screen phones conventional bug bear.

Also, Diamond has various unique features, such as the power of its internet browser to arrange and re-arrange the text on the web pages to conform to the mobile screen. Navigation looks virtually three dimensional, though it isn't capable of zooming in and out by touching the screen with just two fingers which is one prominent feature of the iPhone.

Another accomplishment would be the attempt to come out as consumer handset and that some of the Diamond's elements are even advancement to that of the iPhone. For example owners have the ability to choose amongst three different keyboards - the conventional 12-key phone keypad (that holds approximately three letters to one key), a hybrid QWERTY (which is known from Blackberry devices), and an entire keyboard.

In addition it posses other interesting features which comes superior to the present models of iPhone, this includes the ability to function on the quickest 3G networks, another is the 3.2 megapixel camera - which is a big leap on iPhone's two megapixels, lastly the GPS, with the ability to accommodate the succeeding generation of supposed  location-based services.

However, the screen is still overshadowed by the iPhones, with 2.8 inches throughout the diagonal instead of 3.5.

So, with everything said...can the Diamond be the iPhone killer? Well, you'll probably like its weight and size, and its sheer capacities of Windows Mobile (iPhone has still to acquire an office suite). It is also in the lead with its GPS and HSDPA abilities. But let's hold on to our horses and see what iPhone has to match it (there's the 3G iPhone coming up).
