The Swedish manufacturer of carrying cases for portable electronics, Krusell, has released their “Top 10″-list for June 2008. The list is based upon the number of pieces of model specific mobile and smart phone cases that have been ordered from Krusell during June 2008.
Krusell’s list is unique due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the globe.
CompUSA is currently selling unlocked HTC Touch Diamond for $779. Unlocked means, you don’t have to sign any contract with any carrier and this phone can be used on any network where you provide your own SIM Card. Since you are not signing any long term contract with any carrier, you don’t receive any subsidy which explains the high price. But, if you have to have this phone right away and your carrier is currently not offering it, spend the $779 to be the first one to own this beautiful iPhone Killer.
HTC definitely is not the best in keeping its secrets. In addition to the previous information on the Diamond and Raphael, here come the new high-resolution photos of the former. It is not only piano black, but its back has a Diamond pattern, to remind of its name. The Italian site, mentions some of its specifications, but as it is not officially announced yet, we cannot guarantee they are correct. It is said to be a global GSM/3G (HSDPA 7.2Mbps) Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional smartphone with 2.8″ VGA display, 3-megapixel camera and additional VGA one for video calling. The internal memory is 4GB with microSD slot for expansion, thechipset is Qualcomm MSM7201 with processor running at 528 MHz and it features Bluetooth v2.0, WiFi, aGPS and FM radio. An innovation for HTC is a sensor controlling the orientation of the display. All this is claimed to be packed into dimensions of 99 x 51 x 10.7 mm (3.9 x 2 x 0.42 inches).
