The 'HTC Touch' from Airtel, HTC

According to reports, Bharti Airtel, along with High Tech Computer (HTC) has introduced the "HTC Touch" touted as the world's first mobile phone with 'TouchFLO' technology.

"HTC Touch" operates on 'TouchFLO', an intuitive touch-screen navigation technology, and will be now exclusively available to Airtel users.

Featuring a 2.8-inch LCD touch-screen with backlight and 240 x 320 resolution, the "HTC Touch" is a stylish, versatile handset with a wide variety of capabilities that enable mobile consumers to balance work and play.

The phone comes with an internal memory of 128 MB, and microSD expandable slot. It integrates a 2.0 megapixel CMOS color camera, a built-in microphone, and 3-in-1 speaker, as well as connectivity options including Bluetooth and WiFi.

According to HTC, the new phone is capable of recognising and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen. It promises enough intelligence to be able to distinguish between finger and stylus input, and respond accordingly.

The "HTC Touch" will be available next week onwards exclusively for Airtel users in ten cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. It will come for a price of Rs 19,900.
