HTC Touch Diamond, Raphael, Titanium and Find to Be Released Soon?

Following up on the news of HTC launching its most important product of the year next month, GSMArena dug up some more info on two phones they think will be unveiled there, the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Find. According to MSMobiles, the HTC Touch Find seems to a version of the HTC Touch Cruise, which is out already, but this seems to be a rounder, more ergonomic version. The HTC Touch Diamond is actually the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV shown at CeBIT 2008, and will have a 528MHz Qualcomm CPU and GPS. It'll also have an accelerometer (like the iPhone) to rotate the UI when you go horizontal.

The Raphael seems to be pretty interesting as well, and GSMArena says it's a successor to the HTC TyTN II (AT&T Tilt). It'll be sold as the Touch Pro, further illustrating how much junk HTC is shoving under the Touch brand, and still have a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

And last, the HTC Titanium, will be probably the HTC Touch Dual Pro and have a 12 or 20 key slide-out keypad. [GSM Arena and MS Mobiles]

From those pictures, this thing is going to be a scratch magnet.

I look forward to the announcement.

If any of the upcoming phones can match or beat the XPERIA X1 for features, then I could be persuaded.

@Evangelion: I am pretty sure that there is a case around the phone that is scratched up...you know so people don't walk away with it...

"It'll also have an accelerometer (like the iPhone) to rotate the UI when you go horizontal"

why is it everyone mentions the Iphone when they say accelerometer, the IPhone is not the only phone with one and I don't believe it was the first either. HTC does make a pretty decent phone though so it should be nice to see what this thing does when it's out.

Nice! I'm excited when Sprint gets these puppies (if). I want some CDMA love!

For new, breakthrough phone technology, that thing in the picture wasn't well cared for...

@archaeology_dude: rumor has it that the raphael will be on sprint by september. so there certainly are CDMA versions of these phones in the works.

im hoping they jump the gun and release the raphael on sprint by june...my contract is up in july, and i need me a slim keyboard device that isnt shite like the rumor.

That was scary, for a second there I thought they were introducing the HTC Tom Cruise. Glad to see it's the Touch Cruise.

Let's not even speak of the HTC Touch Tom Cruise model.

@Silent_Shark: Well the touch diamond does have a 528mhz processor compared to the xperia's 512mhz processor (i think it has 512mhz)
Im sticking to the xperia tho unless one of these phones sweep the floor with the xperia.
