Although HTC, one of the world’s largest makers of Windows Mobile smartphones, launched their original 2G Touch a few weeks before Apple launched their iPhone in the US to great fanfare, especially given its iPhone-esque touch screen, one thing was clear: it was still no iPhone.

But given that HTC has much more experience in making smartphones than Apple, many more partners, and dozens more models under their belt, it was always a given that we’d see an upgraded 3.5G HTC Touch model long before Apple would get their act together in releasing a 3G (let alone 3.5G) iPhone.

And that, of course, is what happened. HTC launched 3.5G Touch that runs on the 2100Mhz 3.5G network late last year, but this didn’t work on Telstra’s Australia-wide 850Mhz 3.5G network.
