Pick a carrier, any carrier: HTC Touch sees wide German release

by Chris Ziegler posted Jun 19th 2007 at 9:35AM

It looks like subscribers on pretty much any major carrier in Germany will get a shot at the touchy, feely HTC Touch in the next few weeks (though not in wasabi green, we'd wager). The company's European outpost has announced that Vodafone, O2, and T-Mobile will all be adding the Touch to their lineup between this and next month, with O2 likely the first with the "Xda nova" (final design above right). Vodafone meanwhile will simply slap its branding on HTC's reference design (above left), while T-Mobile's bodywork has yet to be announced. Look for it to hit for about €450 ($600) unsubsidized or €49 ($65) on contract. Big diff there, eh?

@ KM: This looks nothing like the Prada except the color, and I'm pretty sure using the color BLACK isn't a KNOCKOFF. I guess Prada stole from BLACKberry then huh?

Different operating system, different style, different design, different everything except the "touchy" stuff where it "recognizes" the difference between a stylus and a finger, which the Prada doesn't do, it just uses your finger.

$65, seriously? oh god, i hope T-Mo USA is as generous. I live in a wifi blanket, so the t-mo lack of 3g is a non-issue... drool.

Is there any talk of a quadband HTC Touch/O2 Nova anytime soon?
