Touch 3G and Touch Viva to bring nippy Internet access and accessibility to phone prodding pinkies.
The HTC Touch 3G promises speeds up to 18 times faster than bog-standard 3G while the Touch Viva offers all the high-end HTC specs at an affordable price.
The Touch 3G will give a much needed speed boost to mobile surfing enabling users to grab video, directions and maps quicker than standard 3G.
It’s features include a 3.2-megapixel shooter, 256MB flash memory, 192MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0 and Windows 6.1 Professional and HSDPA with 7.2Mbps.
It’ll be available in lovingly named Sophisticated Black, Noble Gold, Sparkle Blue and Modern Brown outfits.
The lower specced Touch Viva offers only EDGE data speeds and a 2-megapixel camera with 64MB less RAM but still touts all the usual HTC TouchFLO talents at a lower cost.
Both handsets will be available in the UK early October 2008.
