Phone Features
With a nearly 3-inch display, the HTC Touch's navigation is powered by TouchFLO technology--new underlying touch screen technology developed by HTC--which provides smooth navigation through menus with a finger swipe. Simply sweep your finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. In addition, the innovative TouchFLO cube brings a 3D cube interface allowing quick access to entertainment, communication tools and a "dial-by-picture" photo caller ID screen. It is intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and input via the included stylus and then respond accordingly. The new HTC-designed home screen provides one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world. Since you'll be accessing most functions via the touchscreen, it includes only buttons for a cursor pad, send and end, camera, and volume rocker.

In addition to real-time synchronization with Microsoft Exchange via Windows Mobile's Direct Push Technology, the HTC Touch also supports Sprint Mobile Email for access to up to three email accounts. It's also loaded with instant messaging capabilities for AIM, Yahoo, and Windows Live. The Touch also enables sending of SMS and MMS messages, and it includes XT9 predictive text entry (the new version of the T9), with Key features including a word prediction list and spelling correction which spots transposed letters and missed keys, as well as instant integration into all applications on the device. The phone's contact list is limited only by available memory, and you can store up to 12 numbers per entry as well as home/work addresses, email, IM name, birthday, and more.

You can load up your MP3 files on optional MicroSD cards (up to 4 GB in size) via a USB connection from your PC, or download music from the Sprint Music Store. The integrated Windows Media Player Mobile allows you to play your favorite music, videos and more while you're on the go, and it synchs music seamlessly with Windows Media Player on a Windows-based computer.

This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR (enhanced data rate) wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, object push, file transfer, audio/video remote control, and basic printing. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. Send contacts, calendar events, and pictures/videos/voice memos wirelessly.

The 2.0-megapixel camera on the back of the HTC Touch has a 5x digital zoom and includes a choice of five resolutions and four quality settings. Other imaging features include white balance controls, night mode, image effects, and self-timer.
