A U.S.-bound Touch HD? Not so much

Our friends at WMPowerUser have found a HTC Touch HD service manual (pdf link), and lookie what’s in there. A reference to the U.S. 3G bands of 850 and 1900 MHz.

But while our hearts briefly went pitter patter over what might have been, our heads tell us this is more a case of misprint than a sign that HTC has changed their mind on whether or not to bring the Touch HD to the U.S.

We pinged HTC and they confirmed it: Despite what this manual states, there are no plans to bring the Touch HD to the U.S.

Still, we have to admit, if you don't mind EDGE, it's worth considering importing this lovely phone.

Hooray for us down under though, it lists "Telstra" as one of the bands down under so the 850/2100 mhz band is important to us. I'm interested now................
I have a Touch HD and it's a truly awesome device. For most of a year I've been a two-device person: a small Windows Mobile phone and a MID because I want to read websites on a large screen. No more, as the Touch HD has replaced both.

it's awesome device. HD forever blueoo.com
