The HTC Touch Diamond, also known as the HTC P3700 or its codename the HTC Diamond,[2] is a Windows Mobile 6.1-powered Pocket PC designed and manufactured by HTC. It is the first device to feature TouchFLO 3D - a new version of the TouchFLO interface, unique to the Touch family.[3] The HTC Touch Diamond was first available in Hong Kong in late May 2008.[4][5] It was available across all major European carriers in June 2008, and later in the year in other parts of the world.[6] The American Touch Diamond was launched on September 14, 2008 on the Sprint[7] network, and April 10, 2009 on the Verizon Wireless network.[8] The European release date was slightly delayed by a last-minute ROM update.[9] The carrier bound names for this phone include T-Mobile MDA Compact IV,[4] O2 XDA Diamond[10] and O2 XDA Ignito.[11] It is the official successor of the HTC Touch.[12]

The successor to the Touch Diamond - the HTC Touch Diamond2 - was announced in February 2009 for Q2 2009 release outside the US and Q4 release estimated for North America.
