HTC Touch HD

HTC already had i-killers in the form of the HTC Touch, the HTC Touch Diamond, and the HTC Touch Pro. It doesn't seem though like those were enough: its latest offerings are, say the reports, two handsets - the HTC Touch HD and the HTC Opal.

In case you’re wondering, the HD stands for High Def and the reason it carries that tag is because of the screen resolution that is supposed to support a 480 x 800 pixel resolution. Yes, WVGA. The handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and comes equipped with a Qualcomm 7201A processor (@ 528MHz) with 512MB ROM and 256 MB RAM (+32MB on processor).

The same reports state that the Touch HD will be equipped with GPS, a..

5-MP camera, with no flash though, microSD card support for extra memory and a 3.5-mm earphone socket. According to some of the pics and these reports, there doesn’t seem to be any sort of navigation or scroll pad. Does this mean it’ll be totally 'touch'? We’ll have to wait on that. As of now, it seems this could be one step above the iPhone, with no button against the iPhone's singular one.

The second handset is a refurbished HTC Touch, called the Opal, simply because of its more refined and elegant look. It retains a design similar to the original Touch with a 3D interface like the Diamond. It’ll also be running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. The handset will sport a 2.8-inch TFT touchscreen with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution. It supports EDGE, GPRS and of course Wi-fi, but there's no evidence of 3G support in the specs. The handset will also be equipped with a 2-MP camera.

There’s no word on the availability of these handsets as they are not featured on the official HTC websites.
