HTC's Touch HD unveiled in very much official glory

by Paul Miller, posted Sep 15th 2008 at 9:23AM

We're still sans a press release, but a friendly tipster found this quite official page at HTC's very own site, depicting the sexy Touch HD from every angle, with every spec exposed. The rumors were naturally spot on, but that doesn't mean we're any less enthused about the 3.8-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, and 3.5mm audio jack. Connectivity-wise we've got Europe-friendly HSDPA, GPS / A-GPS, 802.11g WiFi (we weren't clear on that one before), Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR and a microSD slot. On the software side there's TouchFLO 3D on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. There's also a front-facing VGA camera for video calls, 512MB of ROM and 288MB of RAM. HTC expects the 1350 mAh battery to score you 390 minutes of 3G talk and 450 ours of 3G standby, with 120 minute video calls just for kicks. The phone measures 12mm thick. Still no word on availability, price, or how you're ever going to stop us from cramming Android onto this thing.

I regret buying my Touch Diamond now....=(
 
lol, I'd just hope it wouldn't bomb like this one...

Although if it's anything like the Diamond they may have worked stuff out.
 
HTC presumably is the hardware company that is going to come closest to Apple first, that seems to be a fair assessment of their current lineup. That all being said, it may still be limited by Windows 6.1, but I do not know for certain. What does seem likely, however, is how expensive it will likely be. Given the current Touch and Mogul phones go for well in excess of $200, I can't imagine this one being any cheaper. Between this HTC model, the new RIM/Blackberry models and the iPhone itself, there are a lot of great choices out there.
 
Yeah... then you get to the services. :bends over: :rolleyes:

In order to get something, you do have to pay. It does cost them money to run the services, you know :rolleyes:

If this uses a capacitance based interface, I'll be wanting to pick it up. I've gotten far too use to Apple's touch system to settle for actually having to apply pressure these days...
