Reviews of the HTC Touch Dual (Unlocked)

    CNET Review

    June 9, 2008

    The Good: 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.

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

    The Bottom Line: 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 GPS, especially for the price.

    Review Summary: The Touch Dual couples HTC's TouchFLO interface shell with a fast processor and enough RAM for running third-party programs. But at this price, the handset's lack of Wi-Fi, GPS, and a decent software bundle are troubling.
