In a press release today during CTIA, HTC has announced that it will launch a version of the HTC Touch Dual slider to the US with full US W-CDMA support and Best Buy will be the initial exclusive retail partner, along with its Best Buy Mobile concept stores which will sell the device unlocked.

The Touch Dual takes the concept of the Touch and adds a sliding keypad with either a standard dialing pad or a converged QWERTY keyboard. The device will also be one of the first Windows Mobile 6.1 devices available when it launches sometime this quarter.
