For the geeky amongst us, you may be interested to know that the HTC Touch Diamond has now popped up at the FCC. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a US agency charged with regulating communications in or originating in the USA. This document shows that the US launch is obviously on track.However, we've spotted quite a few stories about the iPhone of late. Many have compared the new Touch Diamond with the iPhone and it's rather strange to see that supplies of the Apple device are vanishing across the UK and now the USA. It's showing as "currently unavailable" on the Apple store in America and across the o2 and Carphone Warehouse here in the UK. There's no 8Gb version and no 16Gb version available. Hmmm... What's going on? Well, many are suggesting that the 3G version is just around the corner but, with supplies now completely running dry, it's a little strange that the 3G version hasn't already appeared. Some are suggesting that the availability of the new handset may be still a few weeks away, which could give the HTC Touch Diamond a rather convenient window of opportunity.
We now have 50 images from the launch event online. You can see the new on-screen keyboard, volume control and me browsing a rather excellent website on it. We've also been tweaking the design of coolsmartphone.com today to make things simpler and more readable. A new font has been introduced and a lot of the duplicated menu items have been removed.
