Here’s one way to kill the iPhone, make a touchscreen cellphone with high-rez screen, high-def support and other specs that equal one of the best cellphones out there in the market: the HTC Touch Diamond. There is such a device now, freshly announced by HTC. The HTC Touch HD gives users 3.8 inches of touchscreen and a 800 x 480-pixel resolution. This is a Windows Mobile phone, like the Diamond, and like the Diamond it will have A-GPS, 7.2mbps HSDPA and 512MB of ROM and 288MB of RAM. It’s a very powerful portable entertainment and, we assume, business device. No pricing yet but HD on a cellphone will not come cheap.

Marketing aside, 800×480 is hardly NTSC DVD resolution. Neat, but by no means HD. Don’t join in on the hype!

Yeh but HD doesn’t mean it has to be 720p/1080p etc.. HD stand for high definition, and a screen that is 3.8 inch with 800×480 pixel on is high deff if you consider 1368×720p on say a 32/42 inch screen! beside normal digi tv is only 640×480!
So once again 800×480 on 3.8 is going to look HD and is there for HD!
I got one n loving it!
