High Speed Internet Access (HSIA): Mobile Internet

The HTC Touch Pro smartphone will be available in Australia at the end of September. 3 Mobile are the sole carriers until mid October and the phone can be purchased with their $69 plan on a two year contract. Outright the phone will cost $1,099.

The pre-cursor to the Touch Pro, the Touch Diamond, has been hugely popular. The Touch Pro looks almost identical but is slightly thicker.  The reason for the extra thickness is that the smartphone incorporates a slide out qwerty keyboard. One of the drawbacks with the Touch Diamond is the lack of keyboard functionality especially for business users. The Touch Pro also has an increase in memory compared with the Touch Diamond and better battery life. Business users will be pleased with the TV-OUT functionality enabling data projection and presentation.
