There are also specialized versions of YouTube, Google Maps, music and image gallery with ability to flip through photos or songs on the phone in a kind of 3D affect. Qualcomm’s new MSM 7201A 528MHz processor powers the HTC Diamond and will likely power the HTC Raphael.

The target market includes business users who need to stay connected to their office and who will benefit from Sprint’s high EVDO data speeds. That’s not to say that the HTC Raphael isn’t for normal consumer, but it is actually a much more powerful multimedia-centric smartphone than any other smartphones released by HTC previously.
