WindowsMobileItaly.com appears to have more details on the HTC Opal we reported on a few days back. It’s commerical name, according to the article, will be the HTC Touch Viva and will probably be launched on September 30th. We’re hearing the the Blackstone / Touch HD will be launched on October 21st according to this forum post.
The specs are pretty similar to our earlier report with 2 megapixel cam, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot, 1100 mAh battery, QVGA screen but the same 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 CPU as the original Touch and GPRS / EDGE connectivity only (no 3G). The handset will have the TouchFLO 3D system too, although we’re not sure how it’ll operate on that 200Mhz CPU.
