A TOUCH phone with 3.5G functionality is HTC's latest offering for a mobile market with an increasing appetite for a feature-rich, user-friendly experience.

The Touch Dual phone, which makes use of the Windows Mobile operating system, adds onto its predecessor, the HTC Touch, with HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) connectivity and a slide out keypad for typing.

New features with the Touch Dual's touch screen include the ability to view photos using on-screen controls and zoom or rotate images with your hand.

$1,098 (including GST) from end November, only for Singtel subscribers.
