Well now, the Touch Dual is finally going to make its way to the US, being one of the first Windows Mobile 6.1 devices to hit the market. It'll be a full Quad-Band GSM phone with the 20-key “Suretype-esque” keyboard (we tried out the 10 key, check our You Tube Hands on, above).

More exciting, HTC also announced which of their devices will get the 6.1 update, here we go:

Update: Sprint has announced they will release the update on their devices "this summer."

  • The Touch by HTC and
  • Mogul by HTC from Sprint,
  • AT&T Tilt,
  • Alltel Wireless’ HTC Touch and PPC6800, and
  • the HTC TyTN II

...ETA is totally unknown right now, but they should be “among the first of many.” Hurry hurry!
