The HTC Touch HD is an announced (at September 16th, 2008) windows mobile smartphone developed by the High Tech Computer Corporation of Taiwan. Part of the HTC Touch Family, it most notably features a larger, higher-resolution display than those found in most smartphones currently available. It also features quad band GSM and dual band UMTS connectivity, as well as the proprietary TouchFLO 3D user interface developed by HTC.

The FCC has approved the HTC Touch HD for the US.Fact|date=September 2008 Unfortunately, HTC has confirmed that the device will not be coming to the US. [This appears to be a literal interpretation wrt the current model. No reason a US carrier cannot pick the HD up for US use and modify it as needed - just a few months or product cycles away]
