The Diamond turns out to be the successor to that very device, lacking a physical keyboard and relying almost exclusively on a large, glossy touchscreen for user input; the Raphael meanwhile (pictured) features a full QWERTY deal and is destined to replace the Mogul.&quot;</em><br /><br /><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/spt/auto/1209002105.usr14226.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Remember that <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/88670/new-smartphone-from-htc.html">fuzzy picture of HTC's phone lineup</a>? Well, looks like the mystery device(s) are CDMA models destined for Sprint, with the slider out in September and the touch version in November. Both will feature WiFi, 3MP cameras and VGA displays (woot!) - I also rather suspect they'll also have HTC's new <a interface="" manilla="" target="_blank" href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/88356/htc-manila-custom-wm6-1-interface.html">Manila interface</a>. Now, when are we getting GSM versions for these babies?

"Now, when are we getting GSM versions for these babies?"

Did somebody really just say that? I thought I would never hear that sentence in my life!

2.8 Screen is kinda small IMHO, even if it is a VGA. Don't you think so? I will wait for Experia

The xperia has a 3" screen, but it is WVGA not VGA. The screen is probably the same width and just a little bit taller. X1 will be my next though.

I was fully conscious of the irony when I wrote that!;)

This looks a lot like that mysterious T-Mobile device that we saw a while back that is supposidly being made by HTC and was announced by T-Mobile Germany. The T-Mobile Compact IV, I think is what it was called, had some pretty awesome specs, quite similar to this device in design.
