Telus released two of HTC’s desirable phones in Canada. The HTC Touch takes the popular GSM touchscreen phone from Europe and adapts it to CDMA networks. In Canadian form, the device is also set to run at 3G speed with EVDO and will run even faster with an impending EVDO Revision A software upgrade, Telus says. It shares the same 2-megapixel camera and Windows Mobile 6 Professional interface as the original Touch and should be available now for as little as $150 Canadian with a three-year plan or $500 without any contract.
The carrier today also unveiled its version of the HTC S640. A more conventional QWERTY design, the phone will also have support for EVDO Rev. A and a 2-megapixel camera but will add Wi-Fi to provide high-speed Internet access on a local network without using costly cellular bandwidth. It also launches today and fetches the same $150 price on a 3-year term, but uses its smaller screen to reduce the contract-free price to $450.

Motorola today launched MOTO U9, a new clamshell music phone. Its design borrows equally from the PEBL flip phone as well as the more recent RAZR2; the smooth outer shell is broken only by a stealth OLED display that pop ups call and music information only when needed. A set of touch-sensitive music controls on the outside translate from the RAZR2 in addition to the CrystalTalk technology which cancels outside noise and adjusts volume to ensure an audible conversation. Its software interface and 2-megapixel camera are also new to the PEBL-like shape and shared with some RAZR2 handsets.
Long since abandoning the iTunes support of past ROKRs, the U9 can be recognized as a jukebox by Windows Media Player 11 and plays AAC and MP3 tracks regardless of the computer OS. Windows users can load up WMA songs in normal and protected formats. Just 25MB of memory is built-in but is supported by a microSD slot with room for cards up to 4GB of storage.
Motorola plans to release glossy black and red versions of the U9 before the end of the year in Asia, Central America, Europe, and South America. A North American release is very likely to follow in early 2008.
