The HTC Typhoon is a smartphone that runs the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system. The phone is manufactured by Taiwanese HTC Corporation (HTC). At the time when the Typhoon was made, HTC was not in the business of selling devices to end-users. Instead, the company had many partners who would rebrand and distribute its devices.

It is based on the ARM Texas Instruments OMAP 730 processor running at 200 MHz. It has 32 MB internal RAM and 64 MB of flash ROM, and is expandable via a miniSD slot. It has a TFT display with 65,536 colours at a resolution of 176x220.{{Cite web|url=https://stellatech.com/en/htc-typhoon-display-lcd,a,200001.html/|title=HTC Typhoon - Display LCD|website=stellatech.com|access-date=2019-03-09|archive-date=2023-02-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230218012652/https://stellatech.com/en/htc-typhoon-display-lcd,a,200001.html/|url-status=live}}
