iPhone 1.0, You May Have a Competitor: HTC Touch 2.0

With the iPhone planning its 2.0 release in the coming weeks to days, we finally have a true competitor emerging for the iPhone 1.0!

After HTC originally released its Touch, it was welcome with mild-fanfare. It had a touch screen, 3G/EVDO capability, a decent WINMO interface, but it just wasn’t there on the design side. It looked like someone took a Motorola PEBL and expanded the screen to make it look like a boring, matte-finished knock-off of the iPhone.

It looks like HTC has finally learned, and how now released the HTC Diamond which looks like it can compete with the iPhone, from an aesthetic standpoint. So before the iPhone 3G comes out, check out the review and let us know if you think it’s worth buying this pre-iPhone 3G!
