HTC does iPhone-like device

Worried that the iPhone is going to force you into the Apple world if you want to be truly cool? Phone-maker HTC has you covered. The HTC Touch (photo) is a new phone that has many of the features anticipated in the iPhone, and one feature that the iPhone won't have--Windows Mobile 6. The 2.8-inch, 320 x 240 color screen accepts gestures, and supports them with three buttons below the screen. No U.S. carrier has yet grabbed the HTC Touch as an iPhone alternative, but the U.S debut isn't until Fall. In the meantime, U.K. visitors can pick up an unlocked GSM version for around $605. Until then, consumers will have to wait for HTC, Motorola, and other vendors to bring their next-generation phones to the U.S. market.
