Everything HTC

Alltel, which will soon be assimilated by Verizon (a merger approved by the FCC on November 4), is now preparing to launch the Touch Diamond, a phone that’s been rumored for a while now.  Alltel is now taking questions about the phone, which runs Windows Mobile 6.1.  Looking to add one of these hip smart phones to your collection?  You can now reserve your very own for the low price of $249.99.  Well, that’s if you go with a two-year contract and send in all of your rebates, of course.  Still, it’s good to see that Alltel has finally added the Diamond to its list of models available.

The first ROM that shipped with the HTC Touch Diamond disabled support for the 850MHz band. HTC has just released a ROM update for North American customers that unlocks the 850MHz band. This is the EDGE band used by AT&T here in the US.

You'll still need to pay big bucks to secure an HTC Touch Diamond, but this new ROM makes it usable in the US. We have yet to hear of an official release date for the Touch Diamond here in the US.

The HTC Diamond, no doubt named for it's diamond like shape, is getting a bit of a makeover. The new HTC Diamond, codenamed Victor, loses the angled back for a new flat back.

While the unique design and let's face it brand recognition for a product named Diamond, the flat variation will be more friendly when ti comes to placing the device on a flat surface. There is no word on wireless carriers are in line for the new version of the HTC Touch Diamond. Functionality between the original Touch Diamond and Victor remain the same. While the diamond shaped back is interesting, Victor's back looks similar to a BlackBerry Curve.
