The HTC Touch Dual combines a TouchFLO touch-screen interface from the HTC Touch with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. “It’s everything you need at your fingertips,” says Quinton Leigh, managing director of Leaf International Communications, HTC’s official distributor in South Africa.<\/p>\n
The HTC Touch Dual’s 20-key slide-out QWERTY keyboard makes it easier for users to type messages or e-mails single handed – without the need to use a stylus for input.<\/p>\n
“The HTC Touch Dual also offers users an enhanced touch navigation experience, using HTC’s updated Touch-FLO technology. With the Touch Dual, you can now flip through emails and SMS messages, as well as being able to rotate and zoom in and out of photos.<\/p>\n
“HTC has also added a two touch compatible quick menus; one when you slide the device open and another when you hold the end call (red) button, to further enhance the phones user-friendliness,” says Leigh.<\/p>\n
The Menu system itself is designed to resemble a 3D cube, allowing users to “flip” the cube to reveal different menu options – such as photo dialling, Internet, multimedia, calendar and tasks – on each side.<\/p>\n
“Consider the HTC Touch Dual the best of both worlds. HTC took in a lot of customer feedback about the HTC Touch and the results speak for themselves,” Leigh says.<\/p>\n
Other features of the HTC Touch Dual include the Live HTC Home screen, which features easily-accessible applications such as time and date, new messages, missed calls and live weather conditions.<\/p>\n
The phone boasts 3G, HSDPA and GPRS\/Edge\/GSM connectivity.<\/p>\n
“The HTC Touch Dual is a worthy replacement for the HTC Touch,” Leigh says, “and we’re very excited to be able to give customers exactly what they have asked for in a smart mobile device.”<\/p>\n
The new HTC Touch Dual will be available through the cellular networks and at retail outlets from the beginning of Feb and will sell for a recommended retail price of R5 800.00 Incl VAT.<\/p>\n
