A new HTC smartphone was recently spotted at the FCC website.

The device is called the Neon and judging by the image it appears to be yet another variant of the HTC Touch.

In addition, we heard that this handset will soon be launched in Japan through NTT DoCoMo, but this information is yet unconfirmed.

T-Mobile announced that they will soon launch the HTC Touch Dual smartphone in the UK under a different name, the MDA Touch Plus.

So don't get confused, these are two similar handsets. And now let's see what the device has to offer:

• 16-key numeric keypad;
• TouchFLO interface;
• 400 MHz CPU;
• 2.

According to HTC, they have sold 1 million Touch smartphones in just 5 months, in the period starting from June and till the end of October 2007.

In addition, the company expects to sell between 1.5-1.8 million Touch handsets before the end of 2007.

The HTC Touch lineup includes the Touch, Touch Dual and the new Touch Cruise.

At a recent meeting with analysts from foreign investment firms, the HTC CEO Peter Chou announced the company's plans for the next year.

First of all, they are going to release a couple of mobile devices running on the new Android OS from Google. In addition to that, HTC plans to improve its TouchFLO technology, stop using 3G chips from Qualcomm, and launch several WiMAX/TD-WCDMA handsets by the end of 2008 or in early 2009.

HTC Iris is a new yet unannounced smartphone that has been recently approved by the FCC.

It is a CDMA EV-DO WM6-based handset similar in design to the Palm Treo 500v or Android prototype.

The device also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and comes with a landscape QVGA screen and QWERTY keyboard, 2Mpix camera, a microSD card slot, and very large battery.

The new HTC Touch Cruise is the company's third touch-screen smartphone since the first Touch has been released.

Also known as the HTC Polaris, the device runs on Windows Mobile 6 OS, supports 3G HSDPA network, and features the TouchFLO finger-based interface, navigation wheel, extra shortcut buttons to easily access important features, integrated GPS receiver from TomTom, and a dual camera, including a 3Mpix cam on the back and a front VGA cam for video conversations.

People from WMExperts made a 25 minute long video clip where they compare the Apple iPhone with the HTC Touch. Overall, the Touch gained more points and won the competition thanks to its high productivity.

However, if you need advanced internet and multimedia experience, then the iPhone is the right choice for you.

According to HTC, they will soon release an enhanced version of their Touch smartphone in Hong Kong.

The new model will feature twice as much memory as the original (128MB RAM and 256MB ROM), and will be available in two new colors including Immaculate White or Burgundy Red, in addition to the current Wasabi Green and Elegant Black.

Right after Google has announced its Android OS and the upcoming GPhone there appeared images of the possible look of the company's future handset.

The first Android OS demo unit is called Google Dream, and as you can see on the picture it looks very similar to the old HTC Omni.

T-Mobile has just introduced its latest Windows Mobile 6 based smartphone, called the Shadow.

The device is manufactured by HTC and comes with a SureType keypad, easy to use UI, and a D-pad, also useable as a scroll wheel for navigation through the menus. Some of the features include quad-band GSM/EDGE support, stereo Bluetooth, 2Mpix camera, microSD slot, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
