Compare Prices : HTC Touch Dual - Expert Reviews

Review summary: I've had the US-Edition of the HTC Touch Dual (see our video first look here) for a couple weeks now and my verdict: it's a quality WMPro device but

Pros: Feels great in the hand, Processor and Memory are adequate for most people, TouchFLO 2, Unlocked

Cons: No WiFi, Screen only 240x320 (yes, at this point we can call this a 'con'), Does not stack up well with devices less than 6 months away, Price

Verdict: So overall the HTC Touch Dual is a great Windows Mobile device -- for the moment. There's nothing shockingly great about it, which at this point is actually sort of a problem. Six or eight months ago I would have been much more enthusiastic about the ...

Review summary: The HTC Touch Dual is a quad-band GSM phone that adds a slide-out keypad and other improvements on its predecessor.

Verdict: In the meantime, some good news: this GSM HTC Touch Dual comes unlocked, so you aren't held hostage by any one carrier. The bad news: That freedom comes at a high price - £399 to be precise. Fans of the BlackBerry Pearl's tiny keypad might consider ...

Review summary: Say hello to my little friend: the HTC Touch Dual North American version. It's small, it's soft-touch cuddly, yet it packs the power of Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, 3G HSDPA for the US and a slide-out 20 key QWERTY keyboard that uses predictive text. At ...

Pros: Fast, TouchFLO is smooth and responsive, good looking, soft-touch finish keeps the device safely in hand and doesn't require constant polishing (though the display might). Stable, very fast 3G HSDPA speeds on AT&T, strong reception, good voice quality ...

Cons: No WiFi or GPS

Verdict: 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 ...

Pros: The HTC Touch Dual features a slide-out 20-key QWERTY keyboard. It's also the first smartphone to ship with Windows Mobile 6.1 in the States and supports HSDPA and Bluetooth 2.0.

Cons: The Touch Dual lacks Wi-Fi and GPS. There's no standard audio jack, and it's pricey.

Verdict: The HTC Touch Dual offers more functionality and ease of use with the addition of Windows Mobile 6.1 and a tactile keyboard to make it one of the most compact and powerful touch-screen smartphones, but we'd still like to see the inclusion of Wi-Fi or ...

Review summary: When HTC released the Touch last year, Windows Mobile had an imperfect champion. It was no iPhone killer, but it was certainly ready to put out a hit on Apple's handset. Ultimately, though we liked the HTC phone's first take, we found a couple of ...

Pros: Improved touch interface Functional slide-out keypad

Cons: Keypad buttons hard to use for speed-texting Slightly smaller screen

Verdict: We're still waiting for the final results from our PC World Test Center battery-life tests; we'll update this review as soon as we have the numbers. Since the previous version of the Touch worked on Sprint, a different network could result in ...
