HTC Opal replacing the HTC Touch, no 3G?

The original 200MHz HTC Touch was a bit of a disappointment compared to the 400MHz version that first hit the US on Sprint and today the alleged Touch successor is stirring rumors. The device is being called the HTC Opal and according to the leaked specifications from HTC it looks to feature the same TI OMAP 850 chip running at 200MHz, 2 megapixel camera, no 3G (quadband GSM/EDGE only), WiFi, Bluetooth and a microSD slot. The only major differences over the original HTC Touch can be found in some extra styling and the OS (Windows 6.1 Professional).

The spec sheet also lists that it will feature the Opera browser and run the same TouchFlo 3D interface that we have seen on the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, but the big question is why? If we already have the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro and S740, why do we need an almost identical device to the original HTC Touch. We’ll let you guys decide on this one.

Update 9/12: It looks like the HTC Opal will be officially named the HTC Touch Viva. Quadband GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), 128MB RAM/256MB ROM, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 2.0 megapixel camera have also been confirmed.
