Yoe del Barrio says:
WTF….uhhhh no thanks. Aside from the fact that I can get a cheaper smart phone, there are better things I can get with 50k.
jhay says:
Like a laptop for 50k. Though the phone reminds me of the Sony Ericsson X1.
Erin says:
@jhay, it should as they are from the same maker. :)
and at least i now have an idea on how much the SEX1 is going to cost (meaning really way out of my budget). :(
ciao!
rzeronine says:
i will definitely buy this when it comes out.
necromuncher says:
waaat?? 50k? I might buy this thing maybe when i got paid on my upcoming extra jobs.. lol
Boy Mejorada says:
very tempting, but very expensive. i don’t think it is practical for that kind of price tag…
Tech Box Philippines says:
Abe,
Is WSI the new disti for HTC?
makr says:
It’s too damn expensive!!
& cnet.com just gave it a mediocre rating… would rather get the samsung omnia for less.
Abe Olandres says:
@Tech Box PH – yup, I think it’s WordText Systems Inc.
Oriental Artemis says:
Wow. Ah well, never liked it from the beginning.
Yuga, any news on the BlackBerry Bold arriving here?
Charlene says:
I’ve been waiting for this for a long. Damn. It’s really expensive
marianne says:

blythe says:
I think it is wiser to buy this phone in the US. It is around $250-$300 there.
Arni says:
Hi! I bought an HTC Touch Pro from my friend for only P46,000 with one year warranty. Also included is a screen protector and leather case which is better than those included in the Touch Pro retail box. She’s also selling other HTC units. You may contact me at 091781***** if you’re interested.
pasaway says:
dont buy. htc warranty sucks bigtime. you are gonna regret it.
Kel says:
marianne: if you want to play games on HTC Touch, opt for Touch Pro, you can use the keyboard for gaming. Touch HD doesn’t have multi-touch, there is no way for game developers to implement game controls on screen. if i will not use Touch Pro as a gaming device or Playstation emulator, Touch HD would be impossible for me to resist. 800×480 (vs iPhone’s 480×320 only) screen area is nice for net browsing, plus 5 megapixel camera, and non-proprietary headphone jack
