AT&T Touch Diamond 2 coded as ‘Warhawk’ is making quite a news of late. Last week, we talked about the Warhawk’s ROM being leaked and now the next one is that Federal Communications Commission(FCC) got its hands on the HTC TOPA120(i.e, Diamond 2). But with the pic showing 850 and 1900 MHZ WCDMA on engadget, the ratification seems doubtful.

The Warhawk is scheduled to make its debut coming August.

Many of us have been struck by the brilliant looks of HTC TOUCH DIAMOND 2. The HTC DIAMOND 2 comes with Qualcomm 528MHz processor, which is the same as the one used in the old Diamond. In this post, we have enlisted the differences between HTC DIAMOND 2 and HTC DIAMOND:

• HTC DIAMOND 2 comes with 288MB RAM on board whereas the HTC DIAMOND comes with 192MB RAM. This makes a huge differences when browsing websites with lots of graphics and animations
