Not that it was completely unexpected. When T-Mobile in Germany spilled the beans about the
Raphael-based MDA Vario IV, you knew HTC had to make its move soon. And so we have it, the
HTC Touch Pro.
Like the
Touch Diamond, this PDA-phone comes with the TouchFLO 3D interface. Specifications remain largely similar to the Diamond, though there are some important differences. These are a QWERTY keyboard and instead of 192MB of RAM, you get 288MB of it. That seems like an odd number, but that's what it says on HTC's site. Anyway, that should give it a phenomenal boost when running applications. And given how demanding TouchFLO 3D is on processing power, it's a welcomed increase. Note also that the Touch Pro doesn't have the 4GB internal storage like the Diamond but will come with a microSD card slot.
According to HTC Europe's press release, this device will be available in Asia "in late summer", which translates to about September. No pricing has been announced at the moment.

HTC wants to steal the limelight away from xperia & the likes in battling iphone head-to-head come september in SIngapore & the rest of Asia. well if this is the TyTN3 then they should have addressed the graphics driver "htcclassactionsuite" has taken to/highlighted the last time, plus pricing would be a critical component along with these product introductions...especially that sub-noteboks are now just around the corner.
