Functional slideout keypad
Improved touch interface
Unlocked. 3G-capable. Good video playback performance. TouchFLO interface looks good and speeds up common tasks.
Smooth TouchFLO UI
Fast video streaming from YouTube
Beautiful handset design
Excellent call quality
With a cool design and the TouchFLO system
This new Touch is quite a looker.
The HTC Touch Dual features a slide-out 20-key QWERTY keyboard. Its also the first smartphone to ship with Windows Mobile 6.1 in the States and supports HSDPA and Bluetooth 2.0.
Lightweight
Multimedia friendly
Easy keyboard
Beautiful and elegant design
Effective TouchFlo function
3G (UMTS/HSDPA) support
Fast networking on European HSDPA networks. TouchFLO interface seems to be more responsive.
Best HTC Touch weve seen
With SureType keyboard. Easy tethered modem support. Calls sound good
Nice address book features.
Great feel
Easy touch accessibility
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.
Improved screen, Office tools very functional, Helpful keypad, Can open attachments
Slow and sluggish, Touchscreen doesnt work properly, Slow speed undermines TouchFLO, ActiveSync doesnt work properly, Bad battery life, No Wi-fi

Connectivity: Network reception was fairly good, and so was the call quality and the volume of the loudspeaker; no complaints here. Multimedia and Camera: Multimedia is always given the backseat on business phones, and its no different with the Touch...

Abstract: The Microsoft company has went through a good deal of preliminary inquiry to get to know what the ideal balance of ergonomics is. The conclusion looked exactly like a 3.5" QVGA (320x240) display which found a wide implementation in many of their P...
