HTC to present its 3G smartphone Touch Dual durring CeBIT

During CeBIT 2008, HTC presented its 3G smartphone 'Touch Dual'  which adopts a 2.8-inch touch screen. Running on Windows Mobile 6.0 and Qualcomm MSM 7200(400MHz) CPU, the Touch Dual supports HSDPA and Bluetooth connectivity. It also incorporated 2M camera and microSD card slot. The Touch Dual features touch screen navigation with an overlaying GUI called 'TouchFlo' that lets users swipe through media libraries and provides scrolling for web pages or documents.

The sliding aspect of the new HTC Touch Dual does not seen to have added much to the 'thickness' factor. It's not exactly chunky then, but its other dimensions do, as you might expect, make it feel fairly cumbersome in your pocket.

On the front we have a similar setup to the original touch, large touch screen, with a silver surround. To the bottom we have the Send and End keys placed either side of a direction pad, with middle action button.

Sliding the phone open with a firm sounding click, the phone pad is visible. The keys aren't exactly large, but the clear plastic keys looks and feel the part, and it's very, very easy to type out a text quickly. The number keys are flanked on either side by 3 application shortcut buttons, and an extremely useful back button to the upper right.
