HTC Touch HD

Priced around US$ 950 – US$ 1000. HTC Touch HD is the latest member of HTC Touch family, released on the first quarter of 2009, just barely months after HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro (with sliding keypad) being launched and stormed the market as contender to its rivals such as iPhone 3G, Samsung OMNIA, Nokia N97 and Nokia Xpress Music 5800, not to mention the BlackBerry STORM which has rivals face-to-face with its own brother, BlackBerry BOLD. All the just mentioned names are the ultimate business machines that fit into our pocket but may not so into our wallet. Priced at the average of US$ 1,000 each, young executive might think it’s just way too dear to have such gadget for business. But it may not be the case for HTC Touch HD. The trend of giving the whole-screen-surface pioneered by iPhone, HTC Touch HD offers the superb performance of multimedia enjoyment through its clear super-bright wide screen (3.8 inches TFT-LCD). Web browsing? We might think that technology will find its breakthrough to its internet navigating experience. Its 5 MP camera will give HTC Touch HD a boost above the rest. Its integrated TouchFlo 3D Software will give us the vibrating sensation as if we really press the physical keypad. What more? It virtual QWERTY keypad will minimize the mistake when we press ‘way too small’ virtual button by zooming-in the pressed button. Great, isn’t it? This gadget is powered with Windows Mobile 6.0. Specification summary: dimension: 115 x 62.8 x 12 mm, weighed at ‘only 147 g, network: HSDPA (7.2 MBPS)/ WCDMA/ QUADBAND, and connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, USB 2.0.
