The HTC Touch Diamond, also known as the HTC P3700 or its codename the HTC Diamond,〔(PDAdb.net - HTC Touch Diamond specifications )〕 is a Windows Mobile 6.1-powered Pocket PC designed and manufactured by HTC. It is the first device to feature TouchFLO 3D - a new version of the TouchFLO interface, unique to the Touch family.〔(HTC Touch Diamond overview )〕 The HTC Touch Diamond was first available in Hong Kong in late May 2008.〔(HTC Touch Diamond handsets are shipping )〕〔(HTC Touch Diamond Available Online Now )〕 It was available across all major European carriers in June 2008, and later in the year in other parts of the world.〔(HTC Touch Diamond unveiling )〕 The American Touch Diamond was launched on September 14, 2008 on the Sprint〔(5 reasons to hold off on the iPhone 3G - Ben Patterson - Yahoo! Tech )〕 network, and April 10, 2009 on the Verizon Wireless network.〔(Softpedia - HTC's Touch Diamond and Touch Pro Going to Verizon )〕 The European release date was slightly delayed by a last-minute ROM update.〔(HTC Touch Diamond - Delay In Stock Delivery )〕 The carrier bound names for this phone include T-Mobile MDA Compact IV,〔 O2 XDA Diamond〔(PDAdb.net - Devices with Diamond codename )〕 and O2 XDA Ignito.〔(Global Certification Forum - XDA Ignito )〕 It is the official successor of the HTC Touch.〔(HTC Touch Diamond leaked photo )〕 The successor to the Touch Diamond - the HTC Touch Diamond2 - was announced in February 2009 for Q2 2009 release outside the US and Q4 release estimated for North America. ==Hardware== HTC opted for resistive technology for the touchscreen. The reason cited by Horace Luke, HTC's Chief Innovation Officer, was that the resistive touch screen is better for Asian character recognition.〔(Horace Luke interview (30 seconds in) )〕 However, the buttons beneath the screen, as well as being pressable buttons, have capacitive touch sensitivity. This feature is used by the camera application to auto-focus the camera as a finger approaches to press the button that will take a picture.〔(HTC Touch Diamond Hidden Innovations Video plus ROM Ready for Download )〕 Luke also noted that this is the thinnest device that HTC has designed to date.〔(HTC Diamond - Videos ) (See second video)〕 Some people find that the Touch Diamond's battery life is too short. Consequently, batteries offering double the capacity of the included battery are being sold by third parties and HTC itself sells an extended battery with 50% extra capacity.〔(Tracy and Matt - HTC Touch Diamond extended battery (June) )〕〔(Tracy and Matt - HTC Touch Diamond extended battery (July) )〕 The screen turns itself off when a person is on a call. This is to prevent the screen accepting unwanted inputs from the user's face when they are making a call, but it also requires the user to turn the screen back on if they want to use the screen. Removing the stylus when in a phone call both turns on the screen and starts up the notes application (if so selected as an option by the user).〔(Phones Review - HTC Touch Diamond Hidden Innovations Video plus ROM Ready for Download )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HTC Touch Diamond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
