Here’s a thought. Not everyone likes the same things. That my opinionated friends is why there are so many different phones to choose from in the first place. The cell phone company’s have to appeal to EVERYONE. Not just you and what you like. You don’t have to buy it. However, I’m sure someone will. Get over it!

Nice info in there Diego!

I think that is not TouchFlo 3D, only a modified version(faster)of TouchFlo, maybe 2.5

I didn´t turn on the device, only next week…

And it´s a “cromed band”, i´ve uploaded another image without yellow reflex…

Nice catch Ricardo, although we’ve already published some additional info about the Opal:

Do they match your info?

Cheers,

I have published the foto, and in a few hours i will give the real name of Opal, and a release date…

And, no, it insn´t a Touch…is Opal with a fast TouchFlo.

Cheers

i agree with jimmy, the DB crowd demands sparkly phones. Why else did we have a gold razr or a limited ed. sidekicks.

stupid people with money can’t handle a touch diamond.

Don’t fool yourself, the scene kids are *jonesing* for an 80’s-tastic handset like this. Last year was Apple, which is now considered played thanks to the tacky hype machine. Year before was sidekick, which is still around thanks to its popularity amongst the douchebag crowd.

This is the low cost device, designed for replace the HTC Gene, i hope the price of this terminal is under 250 euros.

Hm, if they’re intending this towards a lower-end of the market, it might work out- say, in the same price range that RIMM is targeting with the Pearl Flip or less.

With the arrival of the Touch Diamond for Sprint, this phone isn’t even relevant anymore.

Is that a rubber band or a chromed finish piece? Due to the flash it kind of looks like the table it’s on.

Not sure how you know this isn’t just the original Touch?
