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.

HTC Touch Dual
Reviewer: mobiletechreview.com4 weeks ago- Overall 8
I have too many phones on my desk, including a Nokia N95-3 , LG Vu , iPhone , HTC Touch Diamond, Treo 750 , Samsung BlackJack II and more. Yet I find myself gravitating to the Touch Dual thanks to it's comfortable and pocketable design, fast 3G, Windows Mobile power/tweak-ability and HTC's TouchFLO "classic" which speeds access to common tasks and adds an element of fun without bogging down the device. It's cute more than it's sexy, competent rather than bleeding edge... Read more

The Touch offers a wealth of features in a small package and the innovative Touch Cube interface allows users to take advantage of the TouchFLO screen. This screen technology gives users quick access to many one-touch features, such as text message and photos. The Touch's audio quality is not great, but this phone provides a solid smart phone that is perfect for on-the-go professionals to stay organized and in touch. The de... Read more

We love the HTC Touch and all of its variations, including the two CDMA versions that are now available. In this review we look at the Touch Dual, a device that takes the original's best points and adds a real keypad and 3G connectivity. Read more

HTC Touch Dual Review
Reviewer: phonearena.com12 February 2008- Overall 9

HTC Touch clears the path for the WM6 Professional line of fashion smartphones. Dual is another way to say “slimmer-faster-newer.” The manufacturer should be given credit, not only for adding a slider, but for developing most elements of the interface too. TouchFlo marks serious progress making the phone more similar to the cult iPhone. We should not forget the HSDPA support either, which provides extremely fast internet, wherever there is coverage.

HTC is on a hot streak. The company behind such smart phones as the and the has now released a PDA phone under its own brand called the . The handset is aptly named for its 2.8-inch touch screen and its touch-based user interface. Though I like the device's general concept, a few kinks prevent the Touch from being a great phone.

Amazing Upgrade
Reviewer: screwmesa, Phone Scoop05 June 2008- Overall 10
I upgraded to the Touch Dual from the Tilt (8925) and have to say that I have absolutely no regrets. I was worried that I would hate the 20 key qwerty coming from the Tilt's full qwerty, but after a week of getting the new xT9 to learn the words I normally use I have no issue texting one handed. The touch screen feels much more responsive and programs feel slightly snappier than that of the Tilt. Pocket IE is still pretty useless (not HTC's fault), so I would recommen... Read more

As an upgrade from the Palm Treo 700wx I must say this phone is quite an improvement for me. I was a bit sceptical at first as to how the touch screen and HTC's TouchFLO overlay would integrate with WM6. After about 6 months of use I must admit I an very pleased with this phone. It offers a sleek professional styling, and offers unlimited options as far as third party software goes too. The other really nice feature is the speed the phone can generate with Sprints EDG...

Great Device
Reviewer: Mike, Amazon21 February 2008- Overall 10
I replaced a Samsung flip phone and a Dell Axim pocket PC with this device. I've had it about 2 weeks now and am still finding new features on it. I now have instant access to my two personal email accounts, work email, & text messaging all on on device. Windows Mobile 6 is extremely flexible. Out of the box it works fine but if you want to customize it, you have many, many options. Compared to a straight cell phone, the phone on this device is not as streamlined, but... Read more
