HTC Touch Dual Phone

HTC built its "HTC Touch Dual" phone using their latest TouchFLO technology. This phone uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional software. You can easily slide up the phone with your thumb revealing its keypad. For those who are "lazy" you may also opt to touch the screen to access emails, messages, or browsing the Internet.

So, what's the features like?

The feature I like most would be the TouchFlo Technology in this phone which allows handling by finger-touch instead of using the old time "tiny pen" for scrolling, photo zooming and etc.

The innovative 3D touch cube interface looks great and user friendly. On the main screen/menu, Live HTC Home features time and weather display, quick launcher, and one-touch ringtone settings.

HTC Touch Dual supports 3.5G/HSDPA connectivity for faster internet browsing. What a waste for a touch screen phone that doesn't have Wifi and built in GPS function.

This phone comes with 2.0 megapixel camera for shooting photos/videos and a second camera for video calls. It also comes with several shooting mode like landscape and potrait. Thank god it has the auto focus function.

As I mentioned earlier, the HTC touch dual uses the Windows Mobile 6.1 as their platform/OS which means it comes with the Microsoft Office Mobile for working on documents and getting Outlook email for business use.
