... and more information from HTC follows below! * * * * * HTC launches first 3.5G Touch – HTC Touch Dual New device expands Touch family with addition of 3G/HSDPA connectivity, sliding keypad and advanced touch interface that takes Touch to new level HTC Corp., the world’s leading provider of Windows Mobile-based smart devices, today announced the launch of the HTC Touch Dual, with CSL being the first Hong Kong operator to launch the HTC Touch Dual. This new and more powerful member of the Touch family integrates 3.5G wireless connectivity with a sleek and innovative sliding keypad design. Available in black, the HTC Touch Dual follows HTC’s heritage of bringing a new level of simplicity to the powerful and feature rich device experience that today’s mobile users demand. Taking a design cue from the stylish HTC Touch, the HTC Touch Dual adds high speed 3G/HSDPA connectivity supported by CSL’s territory-wide HSDPA Mobile Broadband network and a slide out 20-key semi-QWERTY keyboard into a thin and narrow device designed for easy typing. The HTC Touch Dual is the second device to feature HTC’s TouchFLO, the same gesture-recognition technology as that in the HTC Touch, but now with new functionality including the ability to view photo slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom and rotate images with only one hand. TouchFLO also allows enhanced finger touch scrolling and browsing of web pages, documents, messages and contact lists. “The HTC Touch Dual expands the HTC Touch product family and integrates 3.5G connectivity and a sliding keyboard into a slim and stylish design. This combination provides customers with the most uncompromising and intuitive touch experience available on a phone,” said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC. “The HTC Touch has not only changed the way people interact with their phone but it has redefined what touch means on a consumer device. HTC is committed to bringing advanced levels of technology to consumers with continuous innovation. The HTC Touch Dual is the next step forward.” Matthew Willsher, the Chief Marketing Officer of CSL, said, “CSL is delighted to be the first mobile operator to offer the innovative HTC Touch Dual in Hong Kong. The device works on CSL’s superior Mobile Broadband network at data transmission rates of up to 3.6Mbps, and it is ideal for our value-added services such as Mobile Email, the new Get & Share service, 3G Mobile TV and Full Song Download. The launch of the HTC Touch Dual is an extension of our successful cooperation with HTC since the launch of our first 3.6 Mbps HSDPA phone, and we look forward to continuing our partnership to address the needs of the market with exciting new mobile devices.” The HTC Touch Dual with Windows Mobile software offers a rich and familiar experience that will enable users to stay connected and access the people, information and entertainment – most important to them - all from a single, personalised device. The speedy stylish Touch Dual is by no means limited to ultimate speed and attracting outlook, it is also rich in content in terms of equipping with all sophisticated yet familiar applications and software that any smart PDA user would search for. Users not only can connect with their family, friends anytime they want with Windows Live Messenger and Direct Push Outlook email, they can also drown themselves into music enjoyment and the fun in viewing video clips on-the-go. With the user-friendly HTC Home interface that shows all useful information including calendar, messages, email, updated weather forecast etc., the Touch Dual is in no doubt the answer to users’ quest for a device with full suite of latest mobile technology.
