HTC Touch

Personally, it may all have worked fine, but the problem is that having an innovative feature like that needs an equally powerful machine to run it. Sadly, the Touch works ona 201MHz TI OMAP850 processor and 128MB ROM/64MB RAM, and if isn't bad enough that we got the first glimpse ever of Windows Mobile 6 on such a slow machine, to make things worse the phone is plagued with a latency of issues and a slow interface. Even while accessing data from the memory card. Iit takes a long time to do anything.

The phone features Windows Mobile 6 professional, and going by my past experiences with WM 5, I was really keen on reviewing the Touch. If you have enjoyed a Windows Mobile phone before, you are more likely to notice the subtle changes that WM 6 brings in. One of the main reasons that you should probably consider buying this phone would be the offerings for business class personnel. To begin with, Outlook Mobile now supports the use of follow-up flags on email messages. So you can flag outgoing mails, and these properties can be synchronized between the Exchange Server and the HTC.

Personally, I found messaging quite difficult with the tiny keypad, and this makes typing messages while on the move quite a painful ordeal. What has improved though, is the new improved auto-completion functionality. The phone will not only give you a list of four possible words you might want to use while keying in letters, it also intelligently grasps all the previous frequently used words to offer more usability.
