AT&T is the only US carrier that is getting the HTC Touch Diamond2, but in a slightly different flavor called the Pure. The Pure was previously known as the HTC Warhawk back when it was first spotted last spring. It’s a candybar device with no slide out keyboard, and a large 3.2″ WVGA display.

Here we have some early pictures of the Pure, which shows a more rounded casing compared to the European Touch Diamond2. The zoom slider remains, plus we still have the four hardware buttons along the bottom. We expect the Pure to run with the same 528MHz CPU and 288MB of RAM as found on the upcoming AT&T Tilt 2, and should be on store shelves as early as October for $149.99 with a new contract. It’s also quite likely to launch with Windows Mobile 6.5 instead of 6.1.
