According to the latest news on the Web, we might be able to see the HTC Touch Diamond2 launched on the European and Asian markets as soon as mid-April. The Taiwanese mobile phone maker unveiled the new device at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, back in February, when it also announced that the handset should become available on the market in the second quarter of the ongoing year.

As many of you might already know, the handset has been previously spotted on various sites where it was available for pre-order, and now we learn that it should indeed come to the market as soon as April 19, at least this is what Uberphones reports that the retail listing site Expansys shows.

In case the HTC Touch Diamond2 indeed makes it to Expansys on April 19, then expect it to be available for purchase for 424.99 pounds, or about $608, a price that would be $100 higher than the pre-order one that was seen during the second half of last month. In addition, we should also mention that the handset listed for retail there will not sport support for U.S. 3G bands, so you might take that into consideration as well in case you'd like to grab such a unit.

In case the rumor proves true and the new HTC Touch Diamond2 comes to the market on the aforementioned date, we should expect a North American version of the handset to surface soon after. Hopefully, there will be more details on the availability of the device in the near future, so stay tuned to learn the news, as well as some info that might surface on the wireless carrier that would plan on adding the mobile phone to its offering.
