In
addition to the Touch HD, HTC Corporation today also confirmed and introduced
the HTC Touch 3G and HTC Touch Viva. Continuing HTC's touch-phone tradition, the
Touch 3G and Touch Viva utilize TouchFLO, HTC's finger-touch optimized
navigation experience enabling quick, one-touch access to the people, messages
and information people want. The HTC Touch 3G and Touch Viva embody HTC's
commitment to build a family of touch phones that are powerful and stylish but
also offer something to everyone, said Peter Chou, president and CEO, HTC
Corporation and added: "Whether you're a professional or a student you can
now get an HTC touch phone with a beautiful touch user experience."
The Touch 3G offers an uncompromising touch phone experience with
powerful Internet capabilities including wireless download speeds up to 18 times
faster than standard 3G. As part of this browsing experience users can zoom and
pan Websites with one-hand. This true mobile broadband experience allows users
to navigate more easily, leveraging the mobile Internet in a variety of ways.
With the Touch 3G, customers can search for and watch streaming video from
YouTube, get directions and mapping using Google Maps for mobile and stay
updated on the latest news with the integrated RSS reader.
