HTC Touch™ Delivers New Touch Screen Experience
HTC Device Signals New Direction In Finger Touch Navigation
SINGAPORE — June 13, 2007 — HTC Corp. (TAIEX: 2498; “HTC”), the world’s leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile®-based smart devices, today announced the global launch of the HTC Touch™, a deceptively small and stylish mobile phone that ushers in an innovative new concept in intuitive touch screen navigation. The HTC Touch™ brings a new level of simplicity to the powerful and function-rich device experience that today’s mobile consumers demand.
Building on its rich ten year history of mobile phone innovations, the HTC Touch™ represents extensive research and development and the conviction that fingertip control will enable more efficient, natural and intuitive touch screen navigation. The groundbreaking HTC Touch™ offers a new and unique way of controlling touch screen-based devices by recognising and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen. It is even intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and stylus input and then respond accordingly.
“With the HTC Touch™, access to your most commonly used content, contacts and features is only a simple finger flick away,” said Peter Chou, Chief Executive Officer of HTC. “Mobile phone makers have done a great job of cramming ever-more exciting features into ever-smaller phones. But the way in which one accesses these increasingly sophisticated features has not kept pace. That ends today with the HTC Touch.”
Smart, stylish and versatile, the HTC Touch™ brings together a wide variety of communication, entertainment and professional capabilities that enable mobile consumers to balance work and play. The new HTC-designed homescreen provides one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world.
The HTC Touch™ is the first device to feature TouchFLO™, the new underlying touch screen technology developed by HTC. Consumers simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most. TouchFLO™ also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.
Leveraging the broad functionality of Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the HTC Touch™ includes Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile, Windows Live and the capabilities to run thousands of third-party applications. Users can surf the web with Internet Explorer®, send and receive emails, chat on Messenger and send files to their own web space through Windows Live®. Other HTC Touch™ details include:
* Dimensions: 99.9mm (L) x 58mm (W) x 13.9mm (T)
* Weight: 112g with battery
* 1GB microSD storage card included / SD RAM: 64MB DDR, 128MB ROM
* 2.8’’ LCD touch screen with backlight, 240 x 320 dots resolution with 65,536 colours
* Battery Life: Rechargeable Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1100 mAh
* Standby time: Up to 200 / Talk time: Up to 5 hours
* Camera: 2.0 mega-pixel CMOS colour camera
* Windows Mobile 6 Professional with Direct Push Email and HTML email support
* Wireless Connectivity: GSM/GPRS/EDGE Tri-band: 900, 1800,1900, Wi-Fi®: IEEE 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth® 2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP
* Available in elegant soft black
Availability
The HTC Touch from HTC Asia is available from tomorrow in Singapore from all authorized resellers at a suggested retail price (inclusive of GST) of SGD $848.

$848? That doesn't sound like the price of a PPC Phone does it? ... isn't that sorta Smartphone pricing?
Anyone got it yet?
Have to admit, after seeing the online videos/flash promos, I got kinda attracted to it. But knowing my disconteneted nature, i know i'll start bitching and moaning about not having 3G blah blah blah the moment the novelty of the TouchFlo screen wears off... still, it looks pretty slick...
Go Spurs!

Same thoughts here. Attractive price, nice form factor and interesting touch-screen technology. But that's about all it's about. Once the novelty dies off, the lack of a faster processor, keyboard and 3G/3.5G is going to make it boring.

saw the phone today and almost bought it out of impulse... darn nice and slick pda phone. in fact ther best looking one i've seen. with all the usual function. if only it has 3g would have been perfect for me. but what to u guys think about the processor? really that slow? my main use is phone and excel docs only. how would u guys compare it to an O2 atom?
