I didn’t really enjoy the HTC Touch Diamond. The Touch HD was more to my liking. But it seems that Canadians are really happy with it. Does this mean when they get to play around with the Touch HD, the experience will practically be orgasmic?

Oh wait. The video isn’t user generated. It’s PR material. Sry!

HTC launched three new devices today in South East Asia – the HTC Touch 3G, Touch Viva and the high end Touch HD which retails for about USD 1,000. But the news maker isn’t about the neat design of the Touch HD – but a cute Easter Egg built into the application as seen above.

Pardon the low quality, but what happens is that the weather bar shows the sun shining and the weather slowly changes to a storm with droplets on the 3.8 inch screen. A wiper pops out and wipes the raindrops away, all in one really cool and seamless animation sequence. [source]

Building in easter eggs into phones to get the social media crowd hyped? I think this is a great move for hardware manufacturers. We haven’t seen a lot of these easter eggs lately so it’s pretty cool to see some of the staff unveil these during the launch. The new Touch series uses the second generation TouchFLO 3G technology which is more seamless, faster and more intuitive.

Think this Easter Egg is cool? Help me Digg! this post.

This is definitely it — the tipping point for companies to catch up with the iPhone. Not that we didn’t see this coming. Offering traditional marketing vids that show off the updated TouchFLO 3D animation, HTC is surely on its way to boasting another Windows Mobile hack. As for usability, well, only time will tell.

Looking back, HTC released the Touch mere hours before the iPhone was released and this was due to a time zone difference no less! This is version two.
