code clicks ‘n’ caffeine

Newly launched HTC Touch HD has to be my favourite Windows Mobile phone ever. Although I am happy with my Treo 750 but a 3.8″ display with a resolution of 800×480 is hard  to resist. You need to watch the youtube video to see it in comparison with Samsung Omnia & iPhone.

Some key highlights …

• 3.8-inch wide, WVGA (480 X 800 pixel) display offering a cinema experience on the go
• Vibrant TouchFLO^TM 3D user interface, responding perfectly to your finger gestures when scrolling through contacts, browsing the web, and launching media
• Surf and download at broadband speed with HSDPA internet connectivity
• Google Maps enhanced by the wide screen viewing platform
• 5 megapixel camera for quality stills and video
• 3.5 mm audio jack makes the Touch HD^TM compatible with the majority of audio equipment available
• 512 MB of ROM and 288 MB of RAM

Other features which are pretty regular for a WinMo device unlike other “ultra cool” phones …

• GPS
• WiFi
• microSD slot
• FM Radio

Touch HD is not yet announced for India and its not even reflecting on the HTC India website but the grapevine has it that it should be available by the end of the year and would be priced cheaper than an iPhone. I would not doubt the price tag looking at the aggressive expansion plans for India
