HTC is known for making the world’s most popular Windows Mobile handsets. While their handset designs are often well thought out, practical and efficient, they are hardly ever accused of being hip and stylish.
The European HTC Touch Diamond is trying to break that mold by giving it a minimalist sleek glossy front, and oddly angled back with jutting out triangles (that’s supposed to remind you of diamonds, I think).
Here in the states, however, they decided to keep with a more traditional (normal?) looking back for the CDMA version. But, to try and keep things stylish, Sprint is releasing it with a Burgundy/Red color.
Normally HTC picks colors from grey to black for their housings, so this could be an interesting new trend to market towards “fashion” phones. Palm and Blackberry have been releasing various color options for years, so its only common sense that HTC start doing this as well.
I suppose its only a matter of time before Apple offers colors other than Black or White for its iPhone cases.
