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.
