HTC has released a successor to one of its first touch screen phones the HTC Touch. The new device, the HTC Touch 3G looks a lot like the previous device, but has subtle differences and sleeker appearance. The HTC Touch 3G has also had a bit of colour injected into it and is available in black, blue, brown and gold; colours will probably depend on the network you choose.
As with the rest of HTC’s touch series, the Touch 3G is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, which is capable of displaying and sending emails, writing and editing Word documents and browsing the internet effortlessly.
The Touch 3G also features a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Navigating through the phone is easy with HTC’s superb TouchFLO user interface and your images and files can be stored on a microSD card via the card slot.
A built in multimedia player is also onboard, but the downside is that there is no 3.5mm headphone socket. Instead there is a HTC ExtUSB connection that is used charging/synchronisation and listening to audio and video files.
The HTC Touch 3G is bound to be popular with people who want a functional and powerful Smartphone. The Touch 3G is expected to be out sometime this month, on a range of networks; price to be confirmed.
