Not that you can’t snag an HTC Touch Diamond in Canada right at this time, but those loyal to Rogers are still waiting. As of this moment, we still can’t locate the WinMo 6.1-based handset on the outfit’s website, but MobileSyrup has it that the phone will soon be released for as low as $199.99 on a 3-year contract (with a minimum $45 voice / Dat. plan). Oddly enough, we’re also told that it’ll be available with voice-only plans for $449.99 (3-year), $549.99 (1 to 2-year) and $599.99 (month-to-month), while a data-only plan is available on the $499.99 handset (3-year). Weird, we know — which makes us all the more anxious to hear this gibberish from the horse’s mouth.

Motorola’s dandy duo seem set to have their debutante ball sometime in Q1 2009. DigiTimes is reporting that Compal Communications has apparently already received the order for the two new sets that were originally meant to ship this quarter. Of course, we’d also like to see Motorola launch these two things in a more official manner, and with both CES and MWC just around the corner, we’ll hopefully get a little more intimate with them soon. Still no word on pricing, but if we hear anything, we’ll holler.

Given that Dubai pretty much has it out for every other spectacle in the entire universe, it’s no shock to see the mecca pick up a major consumer electronics trade show of its own. This year’s GITEX 2008 has come and gone, but there are still images left to remind us of the show that was. PocketPCDubai was fortunate enough to tour the show floor with a camera in hand, and while the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 wasn’t a shocker, there were Truly a few intriguing WinMo handsets in attendance. For a look at what all TechFaith had to offer (along with a few shots of the luscious Touch HD from HTC), head on down to the read link.
