Sprint are offering the HTC Touch for a remarkable US$100. We’ve talked about the Touch before but this is the best deal we’ve seen for the little sucker. It’s a neat looking phone running Windows Mobile 6.1 with the HTC Touchflo interface. Other bells and whistles include

* Access to Sprint’s Music Store and Power Vision
* MicroSD slot including a 512 MB card to get you started
* Web, email access
* Built-in 2.0 Mp camera
* Speakerphone
* Bluetooth connectivity

* Supports mp3, aac and aac plus audio file formats
* 4 hours of continuous talk time with an 1100 mAh battery
* 4.0 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches
* 4 ounces

The package includes a two year shackle, and the associated ‘Instant Savings’ and ‘Mail-in Rebate’ reduce that price tag to a mere US$100. Not a bad deal. The guys over at CNET have done a review on the Touch giving it 3.5 stars out of 5.

AT&T have just launched a new 3G phone, the LG Invision aka CB630. Whilst not sporting any great specs the Invision does offer via AT&T’s Mobile TV network CBS Mobile, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX Mobile and NBC2GO. So if you like your TV on a small screen and we really do mean a small screen check out the following details on the Invision.

* 3G connectivity
* 4 x 2 x 0.5 inch (approximately)
* 1.3 Mp camera
* Bluetooth connectivity

No great numbers but this phone is squarely aimed at people who like their entertainment ‘on the go’, with the LG Invision sporting features such as downloadable music from eMusic, streaming digital radio from XM Radio Mobile as well as the afore-mentioned TV options. Unfortunately all these features add up to a pretty penny, in fact the max package of Mobile TV plus and XM Radio Mobile will add a neat US$39 a month to your phone charges.

If you’re still keen then you’ll be pleased to know that AT&T are flogging these puppies for a mere US$100 with a two year shackle after a rebate. Not bad if indeed you like your entertainment ‘on the go’ and on a screen less than 2 inches by 1.5.

The Nokia 5610 MusicXpress is a snazzy little slider with external music controls and for T-Mobile customers, you can get your mits on one for a mere US$100 after the usual instant discounts and mail-in rebate. For your $100 you get the following bells and whistles

* music player with external controls
* 3.2 Mp camera
* FM radio
* instant, text and picture messaging
* speaker phone
* EDGE functionality
* email, alarm clock, calculator and calendar

The sexy little unit is aggressively priced at US$100 and will definitely gain a lot of attention. However one downer is the non-standard 2.5 mm jack, which may be a showstopper if you have a fav pair of standard 3.5 mm ear plugs. But otherwise T-Mobile and Nokia have got a little winner on their hands with the 5610.

* GPS
* 3.5 mm headphone jack
* black or light blue colour choice
* 1 GB internal memory
