Advantages: Good music and call clarity. Infinite Upgrade Possibilities.
Disadvantages: Texting can be slow and cumbersome.Slow to boot.

...Great little phone. Light and easy to use if you have meduium size hands. I upgraded and this was my first Touch Screen flow. The TouchFlo can be tempermental but does work a treat. Being a Wndows device there are 1000's of 3rd party applications that make this a great phone for the gadget geek. Worth every penny and a very strong competitor to the iPhone (Which I also own). In comparison to the iPhone the HTC is slow to boot but easier to upgrade and somewhat easier to use. Texting is a nightmare without the stylus or small fingers. Music quality is good from the included ear phones and call clarity is fantastic even on crowded buses and trains. The overall design of the HTC is more compact that the iPhone and the included case allows for much easier transportation. The bulkier iPhone can be a nighmare in a shirt pocket. I have...

Advantages: large library of programs for download
Disadvantages: No Wifi, Camera poor, touch screen for stylus not fingers.

...The HTC Touch dual is a slick PDA/mobile phone, made of mostly a black rubbery plastic lined around the outside with a silver plastic. The case contains 3 hardware buttons, a touch pad and touch sensitive screen. The case can slide out to reveal a 16 button keypad. On the back is a 2 mega pixels camera without flash. The HTC touch dual runs on Windows mobile 6.0 which comes with many useful programs, such as Word mobile, Excel Mobile etc. There are also many programs that can be downloaded from the internet for free or for a small fee. However, like my experience with most Microsoft software there are times when the phone will crash or slow to a halt. The touch screen is good and mostly responds well when using the stylus. However, when using your finger the story is a different matter. Most of the buttons on windows mobile 6.0 are too... Read review

Advantages: Thin Form factor, Software customizability, PDA features, Windows compatibilty
Disadvantages: No GPS, 3G and hardware keyboard

...The HTC Touch is a decent PDA (Windows Mobile 6) powered smartphone, which is particularly great due to its thin form factor and light weight. The HTC Touch is mainly touch operated and proposes a 'revolutionary' Touch Flo interface. The strength of the touch is that interface and applciations can be completely customised through some tweaking available at xdadevelopers.com, and in fact mine Touch is mainly now finger touch operated, making the stlyus mainly reduntant. The Touch however is slightly underpowered (you will notice this underpower when using some power hungry apps such as opening a picture hungry webpage), has no GPS and no 3G connectivity. The touch is recommended for those which are on a tight budget, require a good pda and a decent phone but not the ultimate technology. I am very satisfied with it and would... Read review

Advantages: Pretty easy to use because of a plugin
Disadvantages: Little sluggish just like a WM6 pro device

...I have been using an HTC Touch myself for about more than five months now. It comes in two variants, one which has 64mb ram and other which has 128mb. The more the ram, faster the device is. Till date, the product hasn't given me any problems. The ease of use of this phone is just too fantastic and has an especially a fantastic plugin called the 3d Touch cube. This cube helps in navigating through the vip contacts stored on one page then on to multimedia, consisting of photos, music and videos {on one page}. Then comes the system management , consisting of E-mail, sms, IE, tasks, Communication manager and then calendar on one page. Total of three faces of the 3d cube, which help in controlling almost whole of the phone. The camera being 2mp is exceptionally sharp. The HTC home plugin provided makes the phone pretty easy to use... Read review

Advantages: Faster, incorparated gps
Disadvantages: size a little bulky

...HTC TyTnII is a value for money phone. It has a special function of the qwerty keyboard, which slides underside of the phone. Allthough its a little bulky, it provides with quite good features. The HTC home plugin has been incorporated in the phone on the today screen. The phone has a special function of 3g, Video conferencing, which is absent in the TyTn. The qwerty keyboard provides easiness in typing word documents and notes. The email in this phone has been at par to the blackberrys. The Incorporated GPS in this phone is pretty accurate. The GPS can also be used on Livemaps. The Traffic Tv on this phone, lets user view realtime traffic flow in specific areas. The newly incorparated OS6 in this phone is pretty faster than regular WM6 os on any other wm powered device.... Read review

Advantages: Very mellow music great for relaxing to
Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste

...As I have said before in reviews, Medwyn Goodall is one of my favourite composers of "new age" music. I find his music very relaxing and inspirational. Excalibur is the third CD of a trilogy set and is purely instrumental with no actual lyrics. The first CD is Druid (see my review) and second is Merlin (see my previous review). The set is released on the New World Company label and is available in most new age shops or on their website www.newworldmusic.com and is also available on Amazon. The first track is "Caliburn" which is nearly 8 minutes long. This is a gently flowing track with some high pitched flute notes and subtle percussion. It washes over you like a summer breeze particularly when the pan pipe comes in. Its actually a really good track for just sitting and thinking. Probably my favourite track on the album...

Advantages: Does everything in an ideal form factor
Disadvantages: Battery won't last 2 days without a re-charge.

.... For example, this is also called the MDA Vario III by t-mobile. That unit has a smooth, shiny back. That makes it slide around on a table. The HTC unit has a slightly rubberised back, which doesn't slide and is easier to hold. Also, synchronisation with WM6 and ActiveSync 4.5 is awkward and takes a lot of coaxing. Also, don't use the provided version of Sprite Backup, it'll duplicate files on your machine and if you have 6000-odd PIM items, you'll get a 30 Mb pim.vol file that when duplicated will grind the machine to a halt. Use version 6, available direct from Spite, and you'll be fine. Took me about a week to set the thing up, but once done, it's great.... Read review

Advantages: touch screen, stylish, lots on it, memory
Disadvantages: hard to txt a lot,

...I got the HTC touch as an upgrade, recommended to me by the man who sorted out my upgrade, i was very impressed when i first recieved it, nice packaging and well presented. After a few problems upgrading i turned the phone on,. Took a while at first but worth waiting for, very easy to use with lots of things to do on it. The tough flo is great when on the move like on the bus or train. Just a quick movement up the screen with your thumb bringsyou to your music, videos and the internet as well as many other options. Nice and styleish, fits nice in your hand with the stylus tooked away in the top. The cam is not the best and its quite hard to txt if your in a hurry and you always need to use the stylus, but that being the only downside, i do like the phone, easy to use with wireless connection,games, 2.0mg cam,microsoft word and windows...

Advantages: neat, compact, powerful
Disadvantages: touch screen

...Having bought tow HTC touch phones to run some software - how would I comment...? They're all right, they do the job (most of the time). If you're a fan of the craze of smaller is better - yes they're compact, near and feel brilliant in you hand, but don't lose the stylus (or the spare one...) or if you do you'll have to find someone with childlike fingers with just enough fingernail to do the job adaquately. The screen can sometimes be unresponsive and not the quickest at times; if you tap wrong then you end up opening up a whole host of other programmes you both didn't want and didn't realise you'd pressed. Although they do have a nice little feature of a whole screen drag which you can use your finger to grab the screen and scroll down rather than use the scroll menu. Outside the screen and menus can be difficult to see making... Read review

Advantages: Design,dimensions,battery,features,quality,software,possibilities,perfomance,additional high capacity memory card included
Disadvantages: Lack of 3G,processor could be a more powerful,camera is not the best one.

...Hi dear CIAO members and guests! Again,I`m here to provide you with most up-to-date correct information about cell phones and now-about PDAs as well. Let`s talk today abour and around new HTC touch. I own this pretty cool gadget(let`s say gadget, not PDA) for two weeks. It`s a realMultimedia device,able to handle with any task and satisfy anyones needs. This HTC uses new Windows Mobile 6 Professional version, that makes this device work and SOUND nice, even with OMAP 801, 200MhZ processor. HTC Touch has bluetooth and WiFi as well!It works superb! The main trick about this HTC, that you may use it without stylus, only with your fingers, but you need to get used to this system(of course,stylus is available) - that is thanks to new innovative HTC Touch FLO technology. Now,about the device ergonomics,design and perfomance. First... Read review
