The Diamond Brothers

The next wave of devices seem to go by 2 form factors: one with full touchscreen and the other with a full real keyboard with real tactile feel.

The next devices   from HTC will be just that. The Touch Diamond belongs to the first category and the HTC Raphael belongs to the latter with a side sliding keyboard. The specs are similar except the thickness and the weight due to the additional real keyboard. Expect an European release first (from T-Mobile as MDA Vario IV)  sometime in second half of 2008. US customers might see this device at later date reportedly from Sprint.

Update (5/31): Official Specs HERE!
