On Tuesday the 6th of May, the world changed. HTC announced the HTC Touch Diamond, the successor of the HTC Touch. The Touch Diamond is probably less revolutionary, when you consider that the Touch (not, as idiots believe, the Apple iPhone) introduced the idea of a 'Touch Phone' to the world, but it does add a new dimension to what the Touch had (literally) and does so in amazing style.

Of course, I shall have more to say about the Touch Diamond in the coming months (of course I'm getting one) so, for now, I think it's best for you to see the beginnings of the revolution yourself:

- Main promotional video - Available to watch in different formats. To download that video, and/or two others that focus on individual aspects of the Touch Diamond, see the 'Download HTC Touch Diamond Video' section near the bottom of this page.

- Some people playing with the Touch Diamond - A nice long video that has a proper look at some of the features. They even try the old TouchFLO gestures to see what happens.

- The Touch Diamond on Expansys - They already seem to have a release date (19th of June - the day after my last exam ) and a price (£464.95). I'm not sure whether or not they can be relied on though...

- The official photo gallery - Desktop wallpapers available.

- Specification - For those of you who want the full details. It's amazing how much they've fitted into that phone, and yet it's thinner, narrower and lighter than the HTC Touch.

- Watch the HTC Touch Diamond event in London - This is good if you exhaust everything else and still want to see more because, for example, you get to see that TouchFLO 3D isn't just skin-deep (like the original TouchFLO). The music player, for example, has tabs at the bottom that are similar to the main tabs but, of course, relevant (e.g. artists, albums, etc.).
