The HTC Touch Diamond2 incorporates a larger 3.2-inch high-resolution wide-screen VGA display in a design just 13.7mm thick. The phone also includes a new touch sensitive zoom bar for faster zooming of Web pages, emails, text messages, photos or documents.

Leveraging HTC's TouchFLO 3D experience combined with a people-centric communication approach and HTC's new Push Internet technology, the Touch Diamond2 offers an advanced touch experience that is optimized for one-hand use, claimed HTC.

It also has a 50% better battery life, 5-megapixel auto focus camera, expandable memory, gravity sensor and an ambient light sensor, said HTC.

The HTC Touch Diamond2 will be available to customers across major European and Asian markets in early second quarter of 2009 with broader global availability coming later in the year.
