HTC’s going back to what they do best–Windows Mobile phones with slide-out QWERTY keyboards–by way of the HTC Touch Pro, also known as the HTC Raphael. It’s got a very Touch-Diamond-like back, and has 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, 512MB internal storage, 288MB RAM, microSD slot, a 2.8-inch VGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, video calling and a 1350 mAh battery that gives 8 hours of talk time.
TouchFLO 3D, the improved UI we saw back on the Touch Diamond, is also there, along with a YouTube app and Google Maps (works w/ that GPS). Release date looks like late summer for Europe, Asia and the Middle East, then later 2008 for North and Latin America. We really like the way the Touch Diamond shaped up, but we’re partial to this version of HTC’s form factor. Windows Mobile really isn’t Windows Mobile without a sturdy keyboard. [HTC]

The HTC Diamond looked sexy. The windows world finally got some sexy looks with features to match, as opposed to just a sexy look with nothing inside that the Mac world got :P
But if the HTC Raphael looks like heaven. My only want in the Touch Diamond was a keyboard and a Memory slot. And well, it looks like we got both.
Sure there isn’t as much internal storage, but with High Density MicroSD cards that’s not a problem.
Can’t wait!
