Pros:
Best HTC Touch we've seen, with SureType keyboard. Easy tethered modem support. Calls sound good, nice address book features. |
 |
Cons:
Keys a bit rickety. Lacks IM clients. Still not as slick or responsive as the iPhone. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| The HTC Touch Dual with the SureType keyboard is the best version of this phone we've seen, and we've seen quite a few, but now we're ready for what's next. We liked the SureType keyboard plenty, and it definitely improved not only the messaging experience on this phone, but it also improved simpler tasks like entering new appointments and Web addresses. Still, the TouchFLO interface was great the day before the Apple iPhone was introduced, but it hasn't been competitive with that touchscreen phone ever since, and at such a high price for an unlocked model, we're wondering if it really makes Windows Mobile that much more bearable. The answer is yes, it does, but we're still not going to shell out the cash. |
