The HTC Pure is available now from AT&T for $149.99 with a two-year contract and a $50 main-in rebate.

The HTC Pure is a carrier-branded version of the HTC Touch Diamond2 and ships with Windows Mobile 6.5. One of the new features of WM 6.5 is the new honeycomb layout of the Start menu.

The HTC Pure boasts a slim profile.

The Pure features a slightly different design than the Touch Diamond2. Though we prefer the look and feel of the Touch Diamond2, the Pure is still an attractive and compact handset.

The HTC Pure boasts a 3.2-inch WVGA (400x800) resistive touch screen that sharply displays photos and text.

The Pure offers an onscreen QWERTY keyboard, including a landscape keyboard. Despite looks, both the portrait and landscape keyboards are pretty easy to use. Still, heavy e-mailers should look at a model with a physical keyboard.

Below the display you get four navigation buttons and a touch-sensitive zoom bar.

While the multimedia features of the HTC Pure hasn't changed much since the first HTC Touch Diamond, you do get an upgraded 5-megapixel camera.

The HTC Pure is equipped with a microSD expansion slot, which is located behind the battery cover.
