Bell Mobility releases HTC Touch DualBell Mobility in Canada is releasing the HTC Touch Dual. The version Bell is offering features a slide-out 20-key QWERTY keyboard, rather than standard numeric keypad.

Other specs include built-in GPS, 3G support (EV-DO Rev. A), touchscreen with HTC’s TouchFLO user interface, media player with streaming video support, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD memory card slot. As expected, Windows Mobile 6.1 is running the show…

Bell is selling the HTC smartphone for CA$99.95 on a three-year term, CA$249.95 on a two-year term, CA$349.95 on one-year term, or for CA$399.95 sans any contracts.

While I kinda liked the HTC Touch Dual when it was announced, at this stage I would suggest waiting for the Touch Diamond release. The lack of WiFi is also a dealbreaker…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
