HTC Touch 3G unboxed

About 18 months ago HTC launched the HTC Touch which was something of a landmark device that finally put the HTC brand on the map. A year and a half later most people will have heard of HTC.

The original HTC Touch was a very popular device and the one the established the Touch brand. The biggest criticism of the Touch was the lack of 3G and WiFi. This was addressed in later models but the latest in the Touch genesis is the Touch 3G.

The HTC Touch 3G

The Touch 3G is a slightly smaller and redesigned version of the Touch which includes 3G and WiFi and also more memory and a much faster 528mHz processor.

We’ve just managed to get our hands on the Touch 3G so thought we’d unbox and preview for you. This is a pre-release version so we’re holding off the full review until we can get our hands on the final product.
