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.
Mediocre playback quality
Lack of WiFi
Not a global phone
Keys a bit rickety. Lacks IM clients. Still not as slick or responsive as the iPhone.
As usual for an HTC device nowadays, the HTC Touch Dual is a very polished device, but unlike the original Touch – this phone is actually useful. The new bits and peices of software and utilities that HTC keep adding and improving set this apart fro...

TouchFLO system and HTC Home screen, 3G/HSDPA support, Windows Mobile 6 Professional
Lacks WiFi, Direct text entry in bulk is difficult, TouchFLO doesn’t work with the screen in landscape mode

Slow and sluggish, Touchscreen doesnt work properly, Slow speed undermines TouchFLO, ActiveSync doesnt work properly, Bad battery life, No Wi-fi
HTC Touch was pitted as one of the iPhone killers. It was also, as we found out, one of HTCs quirkiest launches. However, soon after the original design failure (do read the previous review, if you want to know what I am talking about) word got around...
Abstract: At first glance, it looks almost like the HTC Touch, but compare it side-by-side and you'll see that the Touch Dual is slightly longer, wider & just a smidgen thicker. But that little extra bulk does give you a slide out keypad keeping most of th...
