HTC did it with Android and now they have done it with Windows Mobile 6.5. HTC Touch2 is the world’s first WinMo 6.5 smartphone. We heard Microsoft making an official statement that some WinMo 6.5 ready handsets will be launched on Ocrober 6 and HTC Touch2 will be part of it.

Touch 2 is a touch screen smartphone which is powered by the  528MHz Qualcomm MSM7225 processor along with 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM to run applications. It has a 2.8 inch touchscreen display which will feature the HTC’s TouchFLO user interface. It has a 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera and supports microSD card for the storage.

Touch 2 is a very stylish phone and pretty much in line with the design that they have been doing since last few months. All the recent HTC phone designs are beautiful with curves and cuts to grab the attention of the users.

Microsoft will be premiering two new services in all the Windows Mobile 6.5 devices including HTC Touch2. One of the service is called MyPhone which lets you sync all your contact details, appointments and other data in the cloud. This is pretty much like Windows Live Mesh but for the smartphones. Other service which we will see in Touch2 is the Windows Marketplace which is going to be the focus of some attention since Apple made a big deal and apparently profits out of applications.

It is expected to be available in the markets of Europe and Asia starting October 6.
