HTC Touch (Unlocked)
The HTC Touch boasts an innovative touch screen and sleek interface, but the lack of a sizable keyboard really limits the usability of this device. And despite the beautiful hardware, the Windows Mobile smart phone lags in performance and needs a bit more tweaking before we're ready to snatch one up.

CNET Review
The Good: The compact HTC Touch features an advanced touch screen that lets you operate the smart phone with your fingertips. The Windows Mobile 6 smart phone also has an updated interface, integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera.
The Bad: The Touch's tiny onscreen keyboard makes it a pain to enter any text, and the TouchFLO feature doesn't work in landscape mode. The SIM card and microSD slots are hard to access. Also, speakerphone quality was poor, and the device can be sluggish at times.
The Bottom Line: The HTC Touch boasts an innovative touch screen and sleek interface, but the lack of a sizable keyboard really limits the usability of this device. And despite the beautiful hardware, the Windows Mobile smart phone lags in performance and needs a bit more tweaking before we're ready to snatch one up.

Review Summary: The Touch 2 runs Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC's own TouchFlo interface over the top.
The Verdict: Small and light with a good interface and plenty of apps, but the touch control lets it down, and the screen and camera aren't the best here.

Review Summary: The Touch2 is the first Windows Mobile 6.5 handset we've reviewed. With its fairly standard hardware offering and revamped interface it looks like a decent entry-level smartphone. But has WM 6.5 gone far enough to make it desirable?
The Verdict: The HTC Touch2 is a rather standard bit of smartphone hardware, offering most of the feature you would expect from such a device. It’s however still a WM smartphone, which unfortunately places it on a lower rung than the Android and iPhone OSs of the...

The Verdict: But there's much a company needs to do to keep pace with an evolving market. HTC are busy updating their portfolio and the Touch2 is yet another in a growing line of sequels. Alright, it may be a small step for PocketPCs but a solid move for HTC in the...

Review Summary: There are cheaper touchphones if you're on a budget - and better ones if you're not. For Windows Mobile die-hards only.
The Verdict: The Touch 2 exhibits some serious shortcomings: a poor camera, limited storage capacity, some confusing crossover between TouchFlo and Windows Mobile, and a lack of support for multi-touch zooming, for example. The Touch 2 is probably as small as a...
