The mobile phones maker HTC unveiled its latest devices for the end of 2007. The new addition to HTC’s lineup includes three models: S730, Shift and the P6500 and a new version of its Touch phone.

With a sleek and compact design HTC Shift combines the power of Windows Vista with always-connected 3G/HSDPA connectivity. Also the phone is the first device which includes SnapVUE technology that offers instant access to emails, calendar, SMS messages and contacts, without the need to fully boot up the device which helps conserve power and extend battery life. Weighing just 800g and equipped with a 7" touch sensitive 'slide-n-tilt' screen, the HTC Shift is the new way to work effectively on the move.

The other model, HTC S730 was introduced by HTC as an enhanced version of the HTC S710 handset that launched earlier this year. The HTC S730 adds 3G/HSDPA and a 400MHz processor and it's is a stylish and compact phone which features an auto-sliding QWERTY keyboard making it an ideal choice for the mobile professional who needs easy access to email, messaging and the internet while out of the office. The HTC S730 comes equipped with Windows Mobile 6 and 256MB Flash memory wrapped in a sleek gun-metal grey casing.

The HTC P6500 incorporates a 3.5" screen, 3 mega pixel camera with auto focus and barcode and fingerprint scanning capabilities and it comes equipped with 256MB internal memory with the option to add up to 1GB in addition to two external SD card slots.

The HTC Shift will be available across Europe from November this year, the HTC S730 from October and the HTC P6500 from November. All devices will be available through HTC's channel and specific operator partners.

Also HTC unveiled an updated version of its iPhone killer, HTC Touch Dual.

Similar to iPhone, HTC Touch Dual includes TouchFLO, a proprietary touch screen technology developed by HTC  Consumers simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most. TouchFLO also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists.

Also HTC announced good sales for its Touch phone, which was launched in July this year. According to HTC's Chief Executive Peter Chou the company sold 800,000 of its Touch phones.
