Peter Chou (pictured above), president and CEO of mobile maker HTC, has announced the latest smart phone in its Touch touchscreen series at a launch event in London.

The multimedia device - called the HTC Touch Diamond - will be the first phone to the market running Windows Mobile 6.1 when the Diamond goes on sale in Asia and Europe this June. The device runs a version of the Opera browser instead of Internet Explorer. Microsoft's senior VP of mobile comms, Andy Lees, explained this is due to "the leapfrog" HTC want to make with the device and IE6 for the mobile not being ready in time.

Florian Seiche, VP of HTC Europe, said the Diamond will be offered by all five main network operators - a first for the company.
