HTC has launched its the HTC Touch Dual, a new and more powerful member of the Touch family that integrates 3.5G wireless connectivity with a sleek and innovative sliding keypad design. Taking a design cue from the stylish HTC Touch, the HTC Touch Dual adds high speed 3G/HSDPA connectivity and a slide out keypad into a slim and slender device designed for easy typing.
The HTC Touch Dual is the second device to feature HTC’s TouchFLO, the same gesture-recognition technology as that in the HTC Touch, but now the new functionality including the ability to view photo slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom and rotate images with only a hand. TouchFLO also allows enhanced finger touch scrolling and browsing of web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.
HTC also announced additional colour variant and a free, full screen virtual keypad for the original HTC Touch. The HTC Touch will be available in stylish Synergy Sage, Radiant Burgundy and Pure White in addition to the black version that was launched earlier. The virtual keypad will be available via download for existing HTC Touch users from the HTC website at www.asia.htc.com.
The HTC Touch Dual is available at RM2,399. Read on for tech specs.
