Alltel Wireless has just announced the immediate availability of the HTC Touch smartphone with pricing starting at $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts. The Alltel HTC Touch has a number of the same features as the other versions of the phone (unlocked and Sprint's), such as the TouchFlo interface, Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition, and a 2-megapixel camera. They've also added a fourth "cube" to the menu interface where you can access some of the carrier's exclusive applications such as Voice2TXT (converts voice mails into text), Games from Magmic, Sharpcast Photos, and Axcess Shop. The HTC Touch joins Alltel's other smartphone offerings, including the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8130, the Palm Treo 755p, and the Motorola Q.

Great phone with options. It's nice that they brought the 4 sided TouchFlo cube out but again, this has already been created by others already. However, just don't understand why ZDNet rated Sprint's version a 7??????

After thoroughly testing the HTC Touch for Sprint, I determined it most closely matched my requirements for an Android-enabled mobile device. See my review on Mobile Telephony Innovations:
