Vodafone UK will probably make the latest smartphone of HTC, Touch Pro, available this month. The launch of the handset might be a very important moment in the company's history, as Touch Diamond, that has a similar design, will soon cross the one million sales milestone. Touch Pro, coming with a QWERTY keyboard, a much more powerful battery and expandable memory, is mainly a business device. The phone has a 2.8" touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels, a QWERTY keyboard, 7.2 megabit HSDPA and WLAN support, a GPS receiver, 288 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM and Windows Mobile 6.1 as an operating system, and these specs will surely make the newcomer a success. Touch Diamond's slow TouchFLO 3D interface has been highly modified since then, so the business users will get an easy to use, fine user interface with Touch Pro. The microSD/microSDHC card slot might come in handy for those who prefer to use an external navigation software, as one of the largest flaws of Diamond was the lack of expandability. The 102 x 51 x 18 mm large Touch Pro, weighing 165 grams has a 1350 mAh battery, providing 8 hours of talk time.
