HTC Announces The HTC TouchPro

Most users will probably have heard about it as the HTC Raphael, but that was just during the rumor period. This time it’s official! HTC has officially announced the HTC TouchPro, which is more or less a HTC Touch Diamond with a slide our keypad. The TouchPro does improve on some of the Touch Diamond’s specs. It comes with a 1350mAh battery for up to 8 hours of talk time, a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, HSDPA 7.2 and HSUPA. Unfortunately its not a quad-band EDGE or tri-band UMTS unit. North American units should be coming “later in the year”
