HTC Touch Smartphone
Conclusion
HTC's Touch smartphone has some great features to offer in a very svelte, attractive package. There are some drawbacks, namely input and some interface lag, but it is still a very capable device. The improvements made by the TouchFLO interface and the corresponding gesture navigation support go a long way towards improving Windows Mobile's functionality. HTC has always designed beautiful hardware, and one glance at the home or TouchFLO screens confirms that they have a way with software as well. For me, Windows Mobile has always been primarily focused on data access, rather than data creation or modification. The Touch excels in this regard. It's not a multimedia powerhouse, but it will get an acceptable job done for most of your basic needs. If HTC added a hardware keyboard and a standard audio port, I think this would be a perfect Windows Mobile device. For now, if you are looking for a small, attractive smartphone and you can put up with a less-than-ideal input solution, the Touch may be a great option for you. Note: After I finished testing the HTC Touch, they launched the HTC Touch Pro - an updated version of the phone which includes a slide-out keyboard. The Touch Pro is exactly what I wish the Touch would have been, so I'd suggest looking into that if you're interested in the Touch. If you've used the HTC Touch, we'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Do you like the touch interface in the Windows Mobile environment? Leave a comment or a user review! The Good

Underpowered considering advertised software & functionality
