Got a tip on the weekend that the HTC Touch HD has been demonstrated to sales staff at Telstra and is only 2-3 weeks away from being available for purchase. RRP will be a hefty $1499 which will mean that it will be out of reach of many, especially in these tight times.
Is it worth it?
The massive 3.8″ screen, 5 Megapixel camera, decent onboard memory, NextG capability, 1350mAh battery and microSD expansion are some very tempting reasons to buy.

Keep an eye out on Telstra’s Website for more information. I just did a search for “HTC Touch HD” and nothing appears yet.
