At a time when the iPhone is dominating the mobile phone market, the company behind the Windows Mobile mobile phone is stepping up its game. The HTC Touch Diamond 2 has a 3.2-inch LCD touch-sensitive screen with high definition WVGA resolution. With HTC’s TouchFLO technology, users can efficiently zip from application to application – whether it’s a website, email, sMs or photo. One feature that should come in handy is the HTC Push internet feature which allows users to select a few websites and pre-load them in advance. There’s also a new people-centric communication approach, which will provide a single contact view that displays the complete individual conversation history. Has the iPhone met its match?
