New Touch??

[storino03]

I doubt Sprint will pick up the Touch Dual. Same exact specs as the Sprint Touch, except for the smaller screen and 20/16 key layout on the Dual.

Ok, Mikey...
Then what do YOU know? (RevA,GPS,etc...)

The Touch Dual was GSM, they have built a CDMA version, no clue on when it will be released or who will carry it first but im sure Sprint will jump at it, considering the keyboard is a main "talking point" ( i wont say issue) on why people might go for the mogul

I would love to have a keyboard I just kinda wonder how much fatter it is then the regular touch I found 3 or 4 different articles but none of them had any size comparisons

Oh ok, so I get it. Instead of returning my phone calls, you're on here talkin' about work. I see how it is. Let's see how you return my calls when I don't pay for RENT this month! How about THAT!

So when are we going to get a cooked ROM based on the Touch Dual?

When previewing new phone options, looked at a Touch Dual right next to the Touch with no external keyboard...that was around the 2nd week of March. So, I can verify for everyone, Sprint -does- have the Dual available, and the store we visited had a model out in their row of sample phones.

As far as size, it's nearly the same dimensions as the regular touch in height & width. The phones were in the locked security holsters, so it was hard to get a true feel for how much thicker the slide-out keypad made the dual model. My gut feeling is that the dual was only 1/3 larger than the Touch, but that's only a guess.

HTC Touch Dual : Dimensions 107mm (L) X 55mm (W) X 15.8mm (T)

Vs.

HTC Touch : Dimensions 99.9mm (L) x 58mm (W) x 13.9mm (D)
http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=160175

So it's a very small difference in size, but clearly worth it for a suretype style keyboard when that onscreen keyboard just won't cut it. Let's hope Best Buy picks up all of the HTC devices...

Sprint actually does not have the Touch Dual, nor have they announced a released date. As far as I know, nothing has even cleared the FCC regarding the Touch Dual for Sprint.
