    In early 2007, when we started to hear about the HTC Touch, it was seen as a potential iPhone killer. But it is really only a PDA phone without a full keyboard. Read more

    • It is thin and lightweight like the iPhone and smaller than most other PDA phones., The sound quality was fine and the speakerphone was powerful.
    • It is too sluggish for impatient users., The camera produced blurry pictures, no matter how hard I tried., The battery life was acceptable but limited.

    It is the crappiest phone I have ever used. If I don't receive any calls in some time this shit phone goes into some kind of sleep mode and stop receiving any calls. Read more

    • The design is good
    • The basic functioning of the phone is to receive and send calls. It can't do it right.

HTC Touch

The HTC Touch PDA phone from the Taiwan-based High Tech Computer Corporation was launched in June 2007. The first editions of the HTC Touch, also referred to as the HTC P3450, came with 128 megabytes of Flash ROM and 64 megabytes of SDRAM and was available in two colors: Soft Black and Wasabi Green. An updated version, the P3452, was released in November and featured twice the amount of memory and two new colors: White and Burgundy. Both the older and newer models have a microSD card slot for memory expansion.

This PDA phone has a 2.8 inch TFT LCD touchscreen running at QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) resolution, a 2 megapixel CMOS color camera, WiFi b/g connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0. The device runs on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional platform and has handwriting recognition software built-in.

Main Features

The HTC Touch’s main and unique selling point is its user interface. Dubbed TouchFLO, the interface is capable of recognizing sweeping motions made by either the user’s fingers or the included stylus. The phone’s multimedia functions (photo album, music and video player) and photo-based address book navigation can all be done through finger gestures. The TouchFLO’s finger and stylus gesture-based navigation has brought on comparisons to the Apple iPhone, although the HTC Touch was released a few weeks earlier and does not feature the multi-touch gestures of the iPhone.

With the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 software powering the HTC Touch, the device comes loaded with, among other things, Pocket Office (Excel, Word, Outlook and a PDF Viewer) and the Internet Explorer Mobile (or PocketIE) web browser.
