HTC boldly predicts 2M Touch Diamond sales this year

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 19th 2008 at 4:50AM

Actually, maybe it's not such a bold prediction after all. HTC's saying it's going to push at least 2 million of its just-announced Touch Diamonds out of the factory and into buyers' hands this year, and when you consider that the original Touch hit a million in five months and two million in not much more than that, it seems like a pretty reasonable prediction. Granted, those Touch numbers included all of the Touch variants sold up until that point, but the Touch Diamond will be a global franchise as well, not to mention HTC's flagship WinMo device for the remainder of 2008 in all likelihood. Add all the GSM and CDMA versions sold all around the world, maybe add in the QWERTY Raphael, and boom, you've got at least 2 million there, we'd wager.

As I said in regards to the last "2 million predicted sales" article, I expect this phone to exceed even those predictions. The only thing holding it back is it's price tag...which I'm sure the carriers will deal with through rebates.

i really like the look of this phone, but after my current experience with winmo, i will not get another winmo device ever again. 3g iphone or crackberry for me next.

I would agree that they would hit this mark easily... but of course, you can bet those on Verizon won't see this phone, at least not until it has been stripped of anything useful... and most likely not until mid-2009 if their current record rate of adoption holds.

I'm waiting for this phone to get to the US. Probably not until late fall before Sprint gets it. Patience is overrated.
