The Diamond Touch also sells very well, yelling HTC!

The avalanche of praise on the sales figures of the iPhone 3G annoys HTC. His “Touch Diamond” sells well, but the Taiwanese does not seem to merit media coverage that. HTC communicate: there are also shortages of Touch Diamond here and there and forecasts sales are very high.
“It took 74 days to sell the first million of the original version of the iPhone, the iPhone 3G has therefore made an excellent start anywhere in the world,” said Steve Jobs yesterday after the first weekend of sales of new iPhone. If Apple welcomes sales figures rather flattering, the two situations are incomparable. Version 1 was limited to American soil at the time.
So Apple plans to sell 20 million this year, other manufacturers, which multiply terminals and innovations, they will be heard. Thus HTC wished to know that its sales forecasts were just as optimistic, with a potential of 4 to 5 million Touch Diamond for this year. The first signs of the market are good: like the iPhone, Diamond has sold fairly well since mid-June; better, the terminal tactile displays a marked “sold out” among many British retailers at the beginning of the week . Recall that the Diamond Touch Windows Mobile has a 3 MP camera, a GPS, 3G (HSDPA / HSUPA) and a new interface called TouchFlo3D.
The critical spares not the Diamond in many specialized forums. The device would be a “gas plant” because of its interactive interface, overlooking a system already heavy: not a concern of “hardware”, but a real problem “software”. The work of HTC does not seem simple.
Windows Mobile is qualified system for “business user”, the offspring of Microsoft is cumbersome and must deal with an interface more humane to deceive the general public, why HTC develops “TouchFlo.” If HTC recognizes that the current version of Internet Explorer for mobile is not what is called a browser-friendly and modern, it retains compatibility with WAP still often claimed by operators. As a reminder, which is 9.5 Opera team, along with Internet Explorer in the new terminal HTC Diamond. Hard to compare it to Mobile Safari in terms of simplicity for the moment, but Opera 9.5 succeeds perfectly adapt to modern mobile web at the heart of a more user-friendly interface than before.
Key facts to blame Touch Diamond in its infancy? A battery that seems a little low to digest the abundance of functions (criticism of the N95 at the time of its launch, reason) and we said it, of the puffing reactions in the TouchFlo3D interface, in spite of a processor of better capacity.
