HTC Touch Pro aka Raphael on FCC. HTC Touch Pro Raphael has been spotted on the FCC. This QWERTY-enabled smartphone basically adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard to the HTC Touch Diamond’s sleek profile. Unfortunately, as this HTC Touch Pro is European variant, it has not US-friendly 3G frequency support. Nevertheless, we already had that Official HTC Touch Diamond Firmware - 850Mhz radio ROM (that’s good in the U.S.), it seems that HTC have given HTC Touch Pro the same quad-band treatment.
