HTC, clearly burned out from their stellar product naming sessions for the Touch, Touch Dual, and the Touch Cruise, has announced the P3470 for Europe this year. Hmm. This here is a Windows Mobile 6 powered device with a 2.8″ “flat” touchscreen featuring HTC’s TouchFlo technology. I’m not sure what they mean by “Flat” but I’m sure it’ll be cool when we get to touch it. Otherwise it features a 200MHz TI OMAP processor, 256MBs of Flash ROM, 128MBs of RAM, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a 2MP camera, a microSD memory expansion slot (with a 1GB card in it), has integrated GPS, and works on the 850/800/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS, and EDGE networks.

The integrated SatNav (just GPS to us Yanks) uses Tom Tom maps, so it should work quite well. The maps are included on the included microSD card. Orange will be rolling it out in the UK, France, Spain, and The Netherlands later this month for €449. Not bad. Not bad at all, if it weren’t for WinMo. Sorry, Statesiders, no word on a US launch.
