HTC have launched updated versions of their current flagship models at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona – the Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2. These new handsets combine cutting-edge technology with simplicity and user-friendliness for a more seamless mobile communication experience.

The Touch Diamond2 will get a larger 3.2-inch high-resolution widescreen VGA display, five mega-pixel camera, and fifty-percent better battery life. The Touch Pro2 features its own 3.6-inch VGA display complete with an expandable QWERTY keyboard, and comes with HTC’s new Straight Talk technology, to allow seamless transitions between email and single or multi-party conference calls.

Both models utilize HTC’s new TouchFLO 3D interface integrated with a customized version of Windows Mobile 6.1, making for more finger-touch friendly navigation on both sets, while HTC’s Push Internet technology create speedier mobile communication where one’s favorite websites are immediately available.

The sets also come with touch-sensitive zoom bars, expandable memory, and gravity, proximity and ambient light sensors. The Touch Diamond2 is expected to be released in Europe and Asia in early Q2, while the Touch Pro2 is slated for an early summer release.
