I just received information from HTC that their US version Touch Dual is now available from Best Buy. As you may recall, this was the device that Jenneth and I received in Amsterdam during the Fall 2007 Mobius, although ours were the European versions and they weren’t running 6.1. Granted, the Touch Dual doesn’t have a full keyboard so it’s not the ideal device if you are a heavy texter or if you need to compose massive emails on your phone. But if you want a touchscreen quad-band mobile with the full power of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, this is a very nice option.

We know your fingers have been antsy to touch the highly anticipated HTC Touch Dual and now you can! The coveted Touch Dual has arrived unlocked and is now available in the United States through Best Buy, a world-leading independent mobile phone retailer.

The HTC Touch Dual combines an intuitive touch screen integrated with HTC’s TouchFLO technology and slide-out keypad for a stunning design. In addition, the HTC Touch Dual is one of the first devices to feature Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional software, making it easier for customers to communicate on the go. The HTC Touch Dual is the predecessor of the original HTC Touch, a popular device which has sold 3 million units to date. The device will retail for approximately $549.

The HTC Touch Dual can be ordered through all Best Buy retail locations and online at www.BestBuy.com/unlocked, product will be available in select Best Buy Mobile locations as well.
