HTC has announced three phones yesterday: the Touch HD, the Touch 3G and the Touch Viva. But it rounded the day off by adding a fresh lick of paint to one of its older phones.

HTC's Touch Diamond, in white

The firm’s launched an “Ice White” version of the Touch Diamond smartphone, which is essentially the same handset redone in a frosty tone. From the rear view it also makes the talker look a little like a certain Apple 3G phone, doesn’t it?

The new model's white, did we mention that?

HTC’s targeting the white model at fashion-conscious communicators who aren’t bothered about getting any updated features from the older black Touch Diamond.

A UK release date or price hasn’t been confirmed yet.
