Update: Wow. Just when you though HTC was out of the woods, our friendly neighborhood tipsters have tracked down the full product page for the Touch 3G. Peep the new read link for every spec, dimension and salty tear direct from HTC. Highlights include a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, Europe-friendly HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera and 14.5mm of thickness. Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS and 802.11g WiFi all make an appearance as well.
[Thanks, Ben]

Sptint's Touch is already 3G (EV-DO rev A). So not sure...maybe this is gsm 3g?
Yes, the H refers to HSDPA which is 3.5G in the GSM band I believe.
Paul not being an ass but, though should be thought?
And it's faster than the iPhone 3G: http://vlad.bailescu.ro/gadgets/2008/11/30/htc-touch-3g-review/
When are all these HTC Touch phones making it over to the UK?
tomorrows date on that blue phone
also, kind of racist that the black guys name is jerome
??? What are you talking about?
the first phone... the guys name is jerome in the pic... a stereotypical name for an afro-american male
maybe because that is his name, they didnt just make it up
@Unknown
Yeah. Because advertisers would never change someone's name in a promotional picture. They always go with the model's real name.
::eye roll::
Nothing stereotypical about it. What would you name him? Kenneth Parcel, maybe?
People who see racism everywhere tend to be the most racist among us.
No, I'd call him Alex Padilla !
Y-O-U G-O-T S-E-R-V-E-D-!
The analog time doesn't match the digital time
Just like on my PC too whenever i adjust the date and time manually to tomorrow's date ;)
Yeah that's actualy a GSM Touch 3G with a new TouchFlo2D (mimicks the TouchFlo3D of the Diamond/Pro/HD) UI
I gotta say I like the 2D TouchFlo. Keeping 2D might also let it run on the 400Mhz HTC Touch CDMA version... I guess I'll keep my eyes peeled at XDA-developers, as Mobile Shell is close, but not quite the same. :D
TouchFlo2D is already available from xda-devs as a separate cab file. It looks beautiful and is very slick on my HTC Trinity.
Beautiful.
Just watch apple's spin doctor's and fanbois start working at talking their way out of this one !
What's worse? A fanboy, or a rabid anti-fanboy?
Anyway, I have the original iPhone, which I prefer to the 3G from a design perspective. This is the fist device I've seen that interests me from a design point of view since the iPhone. This new phone is gorgeous. Here's to hoping it functions as good as it looks. I'd be a lot more interested in seeing this device running android than WinMo though...
It looks like a toy.
Maybe his name actually is Jerome .. lol .. there are some black people who are named Jerome :).
-from a black guy with a white guys name
omg me likey very muchy
this is sooo cool if only i could afford one, but i think the price would be worth it, because of how advanced it is!!!
Also, does anyone else think they look a little like Zunes? They're real nice.
Why bother releasing this model? Its just a lame version of the Touch HD!
Only if you think the Touch HD is the pinnacle of mobile phones. Sure the HD has a gorgeous screen, but it's the same physical size as an iPhone, which I found both too big and found a pain in the ass for 1 handed navigation.
It's easy to hit the upper right corner of the screen with your thumb on the original Touch, and I image that it'll be about the same on this, though the spread from the top of the screen to the D-pad looks to be a bit too much, though it IS narrower, which might help.
I'm also betting that this will be a lot cheaper than the Touch HD, and sales wise, the original Touch and the Palm Centro have shown there's a real market for devices in this space. Coupling that with slightly pared down version of the Diamond's TouchFlo is an awesome move on HTCs part.
(though I'll checking xda-developers to see how the new interface runs on
Please make this cheap!
"HTC just can't stop the leakage."
Too much Olestra.
LOL!! Incontinence FTL!!!
Nice looking phone. My iPhone envies the camera and video recording.
Damnit guys! - the primary thing I want in a phone is for it to be really tiny, so it doesn't annoy me when I carry it around.
All these newfangled superphones are HUGE.
Wait, you call these dimensions HUGE?
102 mm X 53.6 mm X 14.5 mm
(4.016 inches X 2.110 inches X 0.571 inches)
Wow, you must be quite popular with the ladies - _ -
I kid, I kid!
In person, the phone is actually pretty small, the pictures make it look huge.
Then don't buy a smart phone.
Whereas I've been waiting since the Universal for another PDAphone that's got more than 320x240 pixels. I'm fed up of all these QVGA phones - I want another proper VGA one!
I'm thinking of getting the HTC Diomand on Orange for £30 a month.
Hows the phone? Am I better waiting a few months for something like this to finally come over?
HTC-D does GPS/3G so?
Looks like its due out on the 10th November in the UK : http://www.devicewire.co.uk/htc-touch-3g

This is one of the most beautiful phones I've seen.
Please be in the near future of Android/HTC releases, please be in the near future of Android/HTC release... How can T-Mobile/HTC/Google be hyping the fugly Dream at the same time as working on this?
When will they be sold to genereal public.....WIll sprint pick them up?
Do you know when it will be available in market? and any estimation about the price?
