HTC Touch Dual finally comes to the USA and with an added bonus: Windows Mobile 6.1! By now, I’m sure many are aware of the big news that Windows Mobile 6.1 was coming. And from the information provided at Microsoft’s Windows Mobile website, it looks very interesting, especially the much needed update for Internet Explorer Mobile. One of the first devices mentioned with the new Windows Mobile 6.1 at the CTIA Wireless 2008 convention is the hugely anticipated HTC Touch Dual smartphone which combines the convenience of the Touch FLO technology of the HTC Touch and the added capability of key input via a slide out keyboard. Although it’s been available in Asia and other parts of the world, it will be debuting in the United States and available at Best Buy with the new Windows Mobile 6.1 platform.

From the HTC Press release:

HTC, a global leader in smartphone design and manufacturing, revealed that the popular HTC Touch Dual™ will debut in the United States this quarter. Announced today at the Cellular Telecommunication and Internet Association (CTIA) Wireless 2008 spring conference, the HTC Touch Dual™ combines an intuitive touch screen with integrated TouchFLO™ technology and slide-out keypad and Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional software, making it easier for customers to communicate on the go.

“HTC has witnessed incredible support and demand for the Touch product portfolio, and we are pleased to provide our customers with the opportunity to experience additional iterations of the Touch product family,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of HTC America. “The Touch Dual will be among the first devices in the United States to run Windows Mobile 6.1 and will be followed by a range of 6.1 updates for several other HTC products.”
