Verizon Wireless and HTC announced that the HTC Touch Pro, a windows mobile phone with touch screen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, is now available through business sales channels and online at www.verizonwireless.com. The phone will be available for order in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores beginning Dec. 1.

The HTC Touch Pro is powered by the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. It is also pre-installed with the TouchFLO 3D graphical interface and comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash. With the preloaded business card reader application, the camera doubles as a scanner, allowing business card information to be quickly and easily stored on the HTC Touch Pro and synchronized with a contact database.

Accessing information and entertainment on-the-go is made simple with the Opera Web browser, which enables Web pages to be viewed in the format they were originally designed to be viewed on the HTC Touch Pro’s vivid-2.8 inch VGA display. Panning and zooming across Web pages is simplified by the touch screen interface, allowing for a true desktop-like experience. A microSD memory card slot enables storage of up to 16 GB for a wide array of photos, videos, documents and more.

The HTC Touch Pro is available for $349.99 after a $70 mail-in rebate and a new two-year customer agreement.
