HTC hosted a special event today to announce the upcoming release of the new HTC Touch Diamond. The HTC Touch Diamond is a radical shift from the original Touch offering a new 3-D user interface that pits it directly against the iPhone. The new HTC Touch Diamond will be available in June in Europe, with US customers having to wait until the second half of 2008.
Photos and specifications of the upcoming HTC Touch Diamond have leaked ahead of the big HTC event scheduled for Tuesday. Photos of the HTC Touch

We are pleased to announce the official opening of the Everything HTC store featuring a large selection of HTC accessories for the full line of HTC devices including the AT&T Tilt, HTC Touch, Mogul and more.
Last week we reported on a few leaked images of upcoming HTC Touch devices coming to Sprint and this week we've got the official launch names and specs. The HTC Diamond will be officially be called the HTC Touch Diamond and the Rafael will be dubbed the HTC Touch Pro.
In recent years, HTC has taken a back seat to the wireless carriers when it comes to the marketing of their devices. Most recently, the HTC Touch for Verizon is being marketed as the XV6900 and the HTC TyTN II being dubbed the Tilt by AT&T. Realizing the opportunity to build their brand as a premier manufacturer of smartphones, HTC has started a new campaign dubbed "Something Beautiful Is Coming". See one of the first commercials "Set Your Fingers Free" after the break.
It appears that Sprint will release follow-up models to the popular HTC Touch and HTC Mogul devices later this year. Codenamed Rafael (Mogul) and Diamond (Touch), expect the Rafael to hit streets in September followed by the Diamond in November.
