    Convergence is not always good, especially if you are working in secured environments like military and financial institutions where cameras are often not allowed. This geek heard of someone who literally put a nail through his phone’s camera in order to convince the guard to let him through with his phone. So here’s another option, at least one company’s making an effort for this niche segment of the market.

    HTC Touch2

     

    (More info after the break)

    TouchFLO™

    The HTC Touch2 (non camera) utilizes the powerful Windows Mobile® 6.5 platform and integrates that with innovative HTC unique features like TouchFLO – an enhanced user interface that includes integrated weather updates and quick access to your favourite applications with just a touch.
