Several months ago HTC announced that they would be selling the HTC Touch Dual in the United States at Best Buy. The key thing here is that HTC is selling this directly, SIM unlocked so you can use it on any GSM network. In my opinion this is an important experiment that HTC is doing to see how well an unlocked device will sell at a retail store. Prior to this step pretty much the only way to buy a SIM unlocked phone was online. While the upside is that you can use the device on either the AT&T or T-Mobile networks in the U.S., the phone is not subsidized so it costs a little over $500.

BTW, most of the recent buzz with HTC has been about the Diamond, but the Touch Dual features the nice touch interface and a slim size with a slider 20 key keyboard that I am sure uses the same T9 recognition I use on my Shadow. I am sure this is a very nice device that also happens to feature Windows Mobile 6.1.
