HTC added two new models to its Touch series of smartphones at Mobile World Congress 2009 on Monday: the HTC Touch Diamond2 (shown above) and the HTC Touch Pro2. The models incorporate new features that bring a "people-centric approach to mobile communication", according to the company.

The two smartphones share some features between them, including new single-view contact integration. This puts a complete conversation history, whether it be text, voice or email, onto a single contact card. The history can also be viewed on the in-call screen.

In addition, the Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 are the first devices to use HTC's new Push Internet Technology to help speed up downloads and rendering of web pages on a smartphone.

Both devices use HTC's latest TouchFlo 3D interface, which brings more-relevant information to the forefront and includes enlarged touch-focus areas to make them more touch-finger friendly.
