Melding the power of Windows Mobile 6 with an innovative touchscreen navigation interface, HTC's Touch is a deceptively small and stylish mobile phone that brings together email and other essential business applications along with excellent multimedia capabilities. You'll also effortlessly stay connected to all your personal and business contacts--send and receive email from accounts like Hotmail and Yahoo!, chat on Messenger, and send photos to your own Web space through Windows Live.

With an upward swipe of your finger, use the TouchFLO 3D cube navigation to access entertainment, communication tools, and a "top 9 dial-by-picture" screen. |
Leveraging the broad functionality of Windows Mobile 6 Professional (for touchscreens), the HTC Touch includes Outlook Mobile, Office Mobile and the capabilities to run thousands of third-party applications. Nicely compact at just 0.54 inches thin and 4 ounces, the HTC Touch also features a 2.0-megapixel camera/camcorder, Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), fast Bluetooth 2.0+EDR with stereo music streaming profile, MicroSD expansion, digital audio and video player, and speedy downloads via the EDGE data network.
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides tri-band connectivity (900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone does not include a warranty.
Phone Features
With a nearly 3-inch display, the HTC Touch's navigation is powered by TouchFLO technology--new underlying touch screen technology developed by HTC--which provides smooth navigation through menus with a finger swipe. Simply sweep your finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. In addition, the innovative TouchFLO cube brings a 3D cube interface allowing quick access to entertainment, communication tools and a "dial-by-picture" photo caller ID screen. It is intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and input via the included stylus and then respond accordingly. The new HTC-designed home screen 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. Since you'll be accessing most functions via the touchscreen, it includes only buttons for a cursor pad, send and end, camera, and volume rocker.
