  • PRESS RELEASE

HTC Corp., a global leader in mobile phone innovation and design, today unveiled its advanced next-generation business phone, the HTC Touch Pro in the UAE.

Bringing a beautiful new angle to mobile business productivity, the HTC Touch Pro utilises similar styling and functionality of the popular HTC Touch Diamond and introduces a variety of business-focused enhancements that make getting work done on the go quick and easy.

"HTC has brought one-hand, one-touch mobile Internet capabilities to a higher level with the HTC Touch Pro and Touch Diamond, sustaining a heritage of innovative and next-generation touch devices,"


said Kevin Chen, General Manager, HTC Middle East and Africa and CIS.

"HTC Touch Pro's state-of-the-art mobile technology delivers a distinct combination of the patented TouchFLO™ 3D, the unique styling of the Touch Diamond and powerful mobile business solutions."

HTC also announced multiple accessories that will be available for both the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro including a similarly designed desktop cradle and travel charger accessory pack as well as an extended battery and slim collapsible case for the Touch Diamond.

HTC has taken a great leap forward in touch screen innovation with its 3D touch interface called TouchFLO 3D, which provides a stunningly intuitive way to zip through common tasks like messaging, calendar appointments or making calls with just one touch. The technology offers a rich touch experience with music, photos, contacts and web surfing all responsive to the touch functionality. In addition, the Touch Pro includes a new innovative touch-sensitive control for device interaction.

With the introduction of Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, HTC delivers an entirely new mobile internet experience that utilises broadband-like speeds with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps wireless connectivity. Committed to improving web browsing, HTC provides a new customised mobile web browser that enables easy viewing and effortless navigation of websites in the way they are designed to be viewed on a PC. As part of this browsing experience, users can zoom and pan websites with one-hand and automatically view optimised content that has been specially created to fit the display. Turning the device sideways automatically rotates the web page view from a portrait to landscape view.

In addition to web browsing, the Touch Pro includes an HTC-developed YouTube application for watching a variety of user generated video content.

Like the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro is crafted with precision to fit comfortably in a user's hand and brings together elegant touch screen response with the direct precision of HTC's trademark sliding keyboard design. The Touch Pro also introduces a new, five-row QWERTY keyboard layout that makes typing-intensive tasks like composing email or working on Microsoft Office® documents quick and easy. A built-in TV-out functionality has also been incorporated, enabling perfect PowerPoint® presentations from the Touch Pro.

The Touch Pro delivers an unrivalled combination of features and functionality. The 2.8-inch display provides near-print quality viewing that enables beautiful web browsing and viewing of photographs. The built-in camera includes an optical auto-focus lens that ensures the photos taken are clear and consistent. Advanced wireless and auto sensor screen pivoting are just a few of the features that make the Touch Pro experience a stand out.
