I was quite intrigued when I saw this video, I really didn’t know what to say. I see a touchscreen N95 on YouTube some time ago, but it never came back, we never heard about it or see another video. This time Sittiphol Phanvilai, the famous MobiTubia developer, threw this to us: A touchscreen N95. Was it real? Was it fake? How on earth did he do it???

I didn’t published this post unless I had an answer, but as promised, he revealed his secret. In my opinion, if installing touchscreen on S60 devices becomes commercialized, this guy could make tons of cash. Only problem is really to incorporate touchscreen functionality on S60 devices. Even though this phones are advanced, they are not configured to run with pointers, such as a mouse or in this case, a touchscreen. I would pay just to have touchscreen for one program, such as a Canola Media Player for N95, and the web browser.

Please share your fantasies on what you would like to do most with a touchscreen for your phone. The video after the break.

We have come to know the pricing of the Touch Pro in UK, atleast the planned price at devicewire. Unfortunately the pricing is removed from the website, but the expected availability date remains there, which is the 1st of September.

And for the price, it was set at 468.07 British Pounds, which translates into about US$930, which frankly isn’t very good as it’s calculated excluding VAT, even though it’s a high-end smartphone.

In terms of specifications, the HTC Touch Pro is regarded as a HTC Touch Diamond with a QWERTY hardware keyboard and a flash for the camera. The Touch Diamond has a 3.2 megapixel camera, Opera 9.5 web browser, navi-wheel, touchscreen, TouchFLO 3D User Interface, 256MB of RAM (in the latest ROM), VGA resolution (640×480 pixels), HSDPA at 7.2mbps, WiFi, built-in A-GPS, and Bluetooth.
