HTC's T8290 - another Touch HD but now with WiMax?
The HTC Touch HD isn't coming to the U.S. of A. as was made plain by HTC on their Tweets earlier this week, but HTC did mention that some other great products are in the works for a North American launch.
While no further details were give, one of these products could be the "HTC T8290" (commercial name yet unknown). A WiMax-enabled Windows Mobile Professional smartphone which is soon to be launched on Russia's Yota network and shares some features with the HTC Touch HD but instead of sporting HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA), the HTC T8290 features WiMax.
While further details are mostly unknown, it seems to be confirmed that the T8290 features Windows Mobile 6.1, a Touch HD-like 3.8" WVGA touchscreen, GSM and WiMax, WiFi g and Bluetooth 2.0 and it seems to be the brother of the Touch HD, featuring a more Touch Diamond styled design.

Interesting move into WiMax...
I'm not overly sold on the looks I think the Touch HD with the rounded style looks more pleasing...

There isn't much about it that catches your eye is there?

I was hoping the pointy edges of the Diamond and Touch Pro would be the last. I like the curved edges of the Touch better.

Apart from, if it caught you in the eye, you'd lose the sight in it! Give me curves anyday...and not just on phones!
