HTC Touch announced
I don't really talk about other phones as this blog is dedicated to the E650, but the Touch is made by HTC so you can forgive me this time.
HTC announces "...the world’s first phone to feature intuitive touch screen technology." HTC calls the technology TouchFLO™ - and it looks as though the info is being released now to remind potential iPhone buyers that there may be a better, cheaper alternative just around the corner.
The phone, for all the hype, is not any better than the current offering S70 or E650. It doesn't have 3G (which will be the first thing that gets noted in the critical press) and it only has a 2 mega-pixel camera, but it does have WM6 pro.
Not quite a one-button phone: it has 3 on the front, a camera button on one side and volume control on the other side.
Not only for fingers: it also has a stylus too - just in case you fingers are too thick I suppose or you don't like getting greasy streaks on the nice big screen. Perhaps some pocket pc guys just can't get away from their little writing and tapping tools.
So perhaps it isn't the iPhone killer after all, but it does look nice all the same.
