At MWC, HTC announced the new Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, to build off the success of the original Diamond and Touch Pro. We also learned that the new devices would come with many software enhancements especially to TouchFLO 3D.

We get a preview of many of these software enhancements in this video, thanks to a ROM from XDA-Devs (we don't recommend you try installing a cooked ROM).

What's new? TouchFLO 3D adds a few new areas - Facebook functionality, a deeper contacts integration, a new calendar tab, and Push Internet. Also, TouchFLO 3D now (finally!) works in landscape. We get a new keyboard with an improved design, plus sound and haptic feedback. In addition, there are finger-friendly menus throughout the operating system, just like in Windows Mobile 6.5. See the full list of changes here. Overall, HTC continues to innovate on their hardware, and are finding more and more ways to keep the user from going into the drab native WinMo interface.

Update: We've gotten a lot of emails asking what ROM this is. This is Duttys HD V1.8XTREME ROM for the Touch HD.
