HTC has launched the hot new Touch. The HTC Touch features a Large 2.8″ touch screen with TouchFlo technology, Triband GSM with EDGE, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Building on its rich ten year history of mobile phone innovations, the HTC Touch™ represents extensive research and development and the conviction that fingertip control will enable more efficient, natural and intuitive touch screen navigation. The groundbreaking HTC Touch™ offers a new and unique way of controlling touch screen-based devices by recognising and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen. It is even intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and stylus input and then respond accordingly.
“With the HTC Touch™, access to your most commonly used content, contacts and features is only a simple finger flick away,” said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC. “Mobile phone makers have done a great job of cramming ever-more exciting features into ever-smaller phones. But the way in which one accesses these increasingly sophisticated features has not kept pace. That ends today with the HTC Touch.”

The Sony Ericsson S500 is similar to the W580 (without the walkman branding/software). It comes loaded with a 2 megapixel camera, media player, stereo Bluetooth and a slim 14mm thin body. It’s Quadband GSM so we might even see it in North America. The S550 will be available in two colour options (Mysterious Green and Spring Yellow).
“Beyond the Mysterious Green and Spring Yellow exteriors, effort has been made to bring design alive with the Sony Ericsson S500. The visuals on the desktop or phone menu can change automatically as the seasons pass or as day turns to night. Hidden illumination appears to highlight a certain event and the keypad glows with energy when the slim slider is opened”
