Today HTC announced the Touch Pro, a new smartphone that follows in the footsteps of the Touch Diamond and carries over a lot of the same specs. It uses the same HTC TouchFlo 3D user interface, runs Windows Mobile 6.1, and packs HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA 3G. Unlike the Diamond, the Touch Pro has a slide-out, five-row QWERTY keyboard for the messaging minded. Other stats include a 2.8-inch VGA screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and GPS. It also has a microSD 2.0 slot that can accommodate 8GB memory cards, and 16GB cards in the future. The Touch Pro has a customized version of the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser that is optimized for better browsing with your fingers. The screen will also auto-rotate when the device is turned. It will be available in a European version first–supporting 900/1800/1900 GSM/EDGE and 900/2100 HSDPA, and a North American version–bands yet to be determined–later this year. Pricing information was not made available.
