Mythical white Touch Diamond gets handled

by Chris Ziegler, posted Nov 30th 2008 at 7:47AM

Remember that white Sega Game Gear that you always read about -- maybe even saw in a picture -- but never managed to actually find in real life? In the minds of average Game Gear owners, it reached near-legendary status; it didn't matter that the white wasn't necessarily any better-looking than the black, the sheer rarity of the darned thing made it an object of pure, unadulterated lust. Yeah, well, that's pretty much where we are with the white Touch Diamond right now -- we know it exists, but finding one is nigh impossible, and that alone makes it a thousand shades of awesome as far as we're concerned. Taiwanese site ePrice has some hands-on shots up and we think we're loving the look of the prism effect in the new color along with the two-tone action up front; yes, we'd like to see it launch everywhere, but a certain (perhaps nostalgic) part of us wants it to stay impossibly rare.

That phone sucks, no matter what colour it is.
My Omnia kicks ass, no matter its colour (of the Omnia, not the ass )

It's a lot better to have ones ass sucked than kicked!

@ Andrew
No, you have never, ever touched the screen of an Omnia.
If you did and that's what you think of it then: you suck.

Just to let you know that ePrice is a Hong Kong Website, not Taiwanese

You are so wrong.

ePrice started from Taiwan long time ago then created another web site for Hong Kong. If you've look at their web site in Taiwan then you will know they have much more info/details than the one in Hong Kong.

All you need to do is click on the top right link on their web site.
