HTC's Touch Diamond2 gets a little more real with date and price on eXpansys UK

by Sean Cooper posted Mar 1st 2009 at 3:10PM

While we wouldn't bet the bank on this price and date from eXpansys, it does give us a warm fuzzy feeling to know it's at least en route. The oft mis-stepping -- you know, leaking and such -- retailer has tagged the HTC Touch Diamond2 at £399 (roughly $570) with a potential shelf date of the 17th April. While it will ship with Windows Mobile 6.1, there is a mention in the "liner notes" on the page stating that it will be upgradable to Windows Mobile 6.5. Now we'll simply have to wait and see how it really pans out and how its bigger -- and likely pricier -- sibling, the HTC Touch Pro2 gets treated.

Maybe you just need to dim the lights to set the mood.

Yeah, we've pondered that and will in the future spin it out a little more generic:

While we wouldn't bet the bank on this price and date from this online store we bumped into, it does give us a warm fuzzy feeling to know it's at least en route. The oft mis-stepping -- you know, leaking and such -- retailer has tagged this new phone at a really great price with a potential shelf date of a little later this year. While it will ship with an OS, there is a mention in the "liner notes" on the page stating that it will be upgradeable to a newer version of that same operating system later. Now we'll simply have to wait and see how it really pans out and how its bigger -- and likely pricier -- sibling, gets treated.
