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.

Tricky touchscreen, Average music capabilities, Too many options, Camera is missing a flash
The HTC Dual Touch is a good looking, adaptable phone that is unlike anything on the market. Practical users will be annoyed with the overbearing options and abundant functions, but hardcore phone lovers will be happy to discover all its little tricks.
Abstract: After several days of twiddling with the device, you simply can’t make up your mind and have your final judgment shaped up, but even now some things are pretty clear. The idea of a range comprising touch-phones is very contemporary. At the moment wh...

HTC Touch clears the path for the WM6 Professional line of fashion smartphones. Dual is another way to say “slimmer-faster-newer.” The manufacturer should be given credit, not only for adding a slider, but for developing most elements of the interface ...
