No new TouchFLO for HTC Touch with 64MB RAM

John Chan | Nov 19, 2008

HTC used a new version of its TouchFLO interface in the Touch 3G and offered it as a downloadable upgrade for those using the older Touch. In our earlier report, we contemplated if this could possibly be too taxing for the very first Touch handheld, which came with just 64MB of RAM.

That question was answered by a reader who alerted us that this upgrade is not meant for the 64MB version. Signing in to the HTC support page as a registered user of the first-generation Touch, there was no option to update the firmware to one that includes the new TouchFLO. We contacted the company and it confirmed that the update is meant only for the second-generation HTC Touch which comes with 128MB RAM.

Additionally, if a user is not happy with the new TouchFLO, it is possible to download and restore to an earlier version which makes use of the original interface. Head on over to the HTC Asia site to download the update if you are a second-generation HTC Touch user.

Thanks, Alvin
