 During CeBIT 2008, HTC presented its 3G smartphone 'Touch Dual' which adopts a 2.8-inch touch screen. Running on Windows Mobile 6.0 and Qualcomm MSM 7200(400MHz) CPU, the Touch Dual supports HSDPA and Bluetooth connectivity. It also incorporated 2M camera and microSD card slot. The Touch Dual features touch screen navigation with an overlaying GUI called 'TouchFlo' that lets users swipe through media libraries and provides scrolling for web pages or documents.
The sliding aspect of the new HTC Touch Dual does not seen to have added much to the 'thickness' factor. It's not exactly chunky then, but its other dimensions do, as you might expect, make it feel fairly cumbersome in your pocket.
On the front we have a similar setup to the original touch, large touch screen, with a silver surround. To the bottom we have the Send and End keys placed either side of a direction pad, with middle action button.
Sliding the phone open with a firm sounding click, the phone pad is visible. The keys aren't exactly large, but the clear plastic keys looks and feel the part, and it's very, very easy to type out a text quickly. The number keys are flanked on either side by 3 application shortcut buttons, and an extremely useful back button to the upper right.

 Powered by the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system and with support for corporate email accounts, the XV6600 is designed for maximum efficiency, wherever you are. A full color display slides down to reveal an integrated QWERTY keypad, while integrated Bluetooth keeps you on the cutting edge of connectivity. It's the ultimate power tool for mobile professionals.
Design
The XV6600 follows the standard form factor of the latest Pocket PC devices, with one major addition; as mentioned, a sliding QWERTY keyboard is hidden below the screen. A generous, 240 x 320 full-color touchscreen display dominates the face of the unit. Just below the display is a five-way selection button that allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. Meanwhile, shortcut buttons positioned both above and below the screen offer quick access to your Outlook calendar, contacts, messaging, Internet Explorer and more. Alternatively, the device can be directly controlled with an included stylus that slides out of the rear of the XV6600's case.
Under the hood, the XV6600 sports a 400 Mhz Intel PXA263 CPU with 128 MB of RAM and 64 MB of embedded flash memory storage. The unit's SD IO memory slot supports additional flash-based memory so you can expand available storage. The Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC operating system is completely touchscreen-enabled and features advanced handwriting recognition that is compatible with all of the device's applications. There's a standard stereo 2.5mm headset jack, while USB data and charging is handled by the XV6600's docking ports on the bottom of the device.

 An upgrade to the popular BlackBerry 7100g, the BlackBerry 7130c adds a slew of enhancements that make this the best 7100-series handheld yet. The BlackBerry 7130c sports a stylish and sleek new design, as well as support for high-speed EDGE data, Bluetooth 2.0 (which supports faster device connect times and improved data rates), twice the memory capacity (64 MB), and a new and faster Intel XScale processor. Of course, the BlackBerry 7130c is still loaded with all of the cool features that made the BlackBerry 7100g a success, like a speakerphone, downloadable ringtones, quad-band GSM, and the unique SureType text keypad. The BlackBerry 7130c also allows you to surf the Web the way it was meant to be surfed with an ultra-large, high-resolution color screen.
Design
Like the BlackBerry 7100g, the BlackBerry 7130c is far more phone-like, and RIM's engineers have managed to fit a QWERTY keyboard onto the handset's slim frame. Each button on the keyboard shares two letters and the unit automatically determines which letter is the intended one based on what it predicts you are trying to spell. This unique predictive text technology, known as SureType, enables the BlackBerry 7130c handset's diminutive size. SureType also learns the words you use most often, further enhancing your typing speed.
The BlackBerry 7130c sports a large 240 x 260 screen that displays over 65,000 colors -- plenty of real estate to view your emails, Web browser content, messaging sessions and attachments. The venerable BlackBerry trackwheel is located on the right side of the unit for quick scrolling through menus and emails. A speakerphone is housed in the top portion of the rear of the handset, just above the removable battery door. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset.
