Call it the HTC Raphael no longer. HTC has officially announced the Touch Pro as their newest pocket pc with a full slide out, QWERTY keyboard. The HTC Touch Pro is the successor to the famed Tytn II (which I currently use). The Touch Pro delivers less internal storage then the Touch Diamond at 512MB internal, and 288MB RAM, but a generous 8x more memory than the Tytn II. The unit also has a microSDHC slot, a 2.8-inch VGA screen, 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, GPS receiver, and a 1350 mAh battery. As with previous Touch series models, the Touch Pro will also have the Touch Flo 3D user interface, but with Windows Mobile 6.1.

Expect the Touch Pro to be released in Europe by late summer, and Stateside, shortly there after.
