HTC Touch HD launched and priced

This evening, HTC launched 3 new phones — the HTC Viva, HTC Touch 3G and highly anticipated HTC Touch HD.

Of the 3 phones, the HTC Touch HD took center stage with probably the largest display we’ve seen on a touch screen phone so far.

HTC Touch HD
3.8″ display screen (480×800 pixels)
5MP autofocus camera with secondary front-facing VGA camera
3G/HSDPA 7.2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0
Windows Mobile Professional 6.1
Built-in GPS
FM radio tuner
8GB microSD card

The HTC Touch HD gets a real wide screen real estate which is generally good for multimedia tasks like video playback and web surfing. The device is also thin at only 12mm. The TouchFLO 3D interface has been improved to be more responsive.

The built-in battery is a little weak though, at only 1350mAh (the E71 has 1500mAh). Suggested retail price is pegged at Php55,900.

    I so wish I was in the Philippines right now. You guys are very lucky coz you get to have all the cool and latest phones.

    I blogged about the HTC Touch HD a couple months back. At first, it was rumored to be coming to the US and would be under AT&T, but a month later HTC said it won’t be releasing it in the US. I hope they change their minds.

    HTC has always done a good job in phones, I guess they dont really care about lowering the price and more about offering to the high end customers.

    @alvin - there are several HTC stores in Metro Manila. There’s one in MOA and Park Square 1. The Touch HD is priced at 50k.
