Since HTC launched their first HTC Touch smartphone in 2007, the first version of TouchFLO has been replaced by the new TouchFLO 3D user interface this year. It looks like HTC will be introducing HTC Opal, a successor of HTC Touch smartphone.

Similar to HTC Touch, the HTC Opal does not support 3G connection but will do EDGE/GPRS wireless data connection. According to the source it will be able to run the new HTC TouchFLO 3D, same as what you see on the HTC Touch Diamond or HTC Touch Pro. Check out the specification below, note that the specification listed is not final and is listed on a confidential document dated July 3rd.

having Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro but the same TI OMAP 850 chip running at 200Mhz (huh?). There’s quad-band GPRS / EDGE and a 2 megapixel camera listed along with WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a microSD card slot. Inside will be the Opera browser for silky smooth surfing. Hmm.. What no 3 megapixel cam? No 3G ?
