 As
confirmed earlier, O2 Germany
will also release the recently announced
HTC Touch
Pro and now we also know how O2 is going to call its
Raphael version: O2 Xda
diamond pro.
While O2 Germany's latest Windows Mobile smartphone has yet to be officially announced (but
I heard that a pre-announcement is coming today
with the full-blown press release on Monday), I already had my 15 minutes
quality-time with an early marketing sample which - nevertheless - isn't
sporting O2's branding but still carries HTC's. However, the keyboard layout (yes,
it's QWERTZ which means it's a German keyboard) and the keyboard color (blue
instead of HTC's green design) are already the final one:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Unfortunately, the Xda diamond pro/HTC Touch Pro became quite thick, compared to
an HTC Touch diamond, because it features an extended battery and the keyboard
adds some additional millimeters. However, because the Xda diamond pro/HTC Touch
Pro "only" features a VGA (and not a WVGA screen), the device is slightly
shorter then an Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.
