HTC announces new smartphones

Today HTC hosts a product launch event in London, UK. As it was expected thanks to leaked spy photos, the Taiwanese manufacturer announces a few new Windows Mobile phones.

The HTC Touch DUAL is a slider-variant of the Touch, upgrading it with 3G support. It uses second generation TouchFlo interface, which would allow for more actions based on the finger moving across the QVGA touch display. The Touch DUAL will be available in two versions, one with standard numeric keyboard and one with SureType-like QWERTY, made of 20 buttons with 2-characters on each. Unlike the BlackBerry SureType, this one would use the standard T9 predictive system. HTC Touch Dual Specifications

The Touch which has been available in Black and Green color versions will now also be available in Artic variant.

The HTC S730 is the successor of the S710 Vox, upgrading it with 400 MHz processor which should be enough for the added 3G functionality. Otherwise it has similar design and features to its predecessor. HTC S730 Specifications



The HTC P6500 is a huge WM6 Professional device with 3.5” QVGA display. Specifications
