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.

    LOL! you don’t need to be in the philippines to have this kind of phone,just buy it through Asian market in you area. that’s how I got mine,and its still pretty and neat.

    And if you don’t have a carrier yet you can choose T-mobile or AT&T..or whatever you have. Its global anyway. I got mine less than the price after I open a new line in T-mobile

    And If you Have HTC Touch HD, to protect the screen, its better to use PALM TREO or whatever palm SCREEN PROTECTOR you have for your HTC Touch HD.Trust me its a lot better, its easy to find in the store and u don’t need to buy it online,besides it works better than the screen protector made for HTC Touch HD,its thicker and it sticks well and it last longer.

    about the accessories, I suggest go online,Specially if you live in the US because its hard to find in the store or lets say u might not find it at all.because its not a US phone.

    FEATURES:
    I still have questions about the memory card since some of my files has been removed when I hard Reset the Phone,and i could not recover it after. for some reason.

    AFTER HARD RESET:
    Make sure that your Screen Alignments are perfectly done.Or if not then, when u use your nails or stylus specially when you are typing in the screen and playing Games like Bubble Breaker which is my favorite game,it will point into certain direction and you may get pissed off because a lot of mistake keeps on happening.
