The editors didn't like
Slightly smaller screen
Keypad buttons hard to use for speedtexting
No Wi-Fi or GPS. Weak software bundle. Cumbersome Windows Mobile 6 interface lurks just underneath the TouchFLO surface.
Noticeable lag when opening and closing apps
Not a full QWERTY keyboard
Camera occasionally freezes
No 3.5mm headset jack
3G it may be
But the lack of Wi-Fi stands out like a sore thumb.
The Touch Dual lacks Wi-Fi and GPS. Theres no standard audio jack
And its pricey.
Tricky touchscreen
Average music capabilities
Too many options
Camera is missing a flash
Mediocre playback quality
Lack of WiFi
Not a global phone
Still not as agile as other touchscreen devices. No U.S. 3G support. SureType version more interesting than 12-key numeric.
Keys a bit rickety. Lacks IM clients. Still not as slick or responsive as the iPhone.

In the meantime, some good news: this GSM HTC Touch Dual comes unlocked, so you aren't held hostage by any one carrier. The bad news: That freedom comes at a high price - £399 to be precise. Fans of the BlackBerry Pearl's tiny keypad might consider th...

The HTC Touch Dual with the SureType keyboard is the best version of this phone weve seen, and weve seen quite a few, but now were ready for whats next. We liked the SureType keyboard plenty, and it definitely improved not only the messaging expe...
