Love at first sight! Yes I am a device freak so I fall in love often. The first time I saw this device, I was in love with it.
Design & Aesthetics: she’s cute and sexy. This is how a Phone should look like, wide bodied yet slim. And it is a symmetrically shaped baby with kool curves. Touch...no I love to fondle ;) Well, it got that bad habit of attracting dirt and finger prints. So better keep of the urge to touch/ fondle, Use stylus !
Like any cute baby, it is a lil’ down on her IQ with jus a 201 Mhz brain. Yes, some times it take time to understand my touch, yet the eagerness to get my job done is always there. Yes it is complicated like a beautiful chik, but once u understand, itz such a wonderful one. The 128 megs of RAM makes up for slower processor, hey its faster than O2 XDA. Unlike O2 it never hangs !
It has got Bluetooth A2DP which means, you can connect your stereo bluetooth devices and enjoy music streamed from Touch. The memory slot supports SDHC micro SD cards. ie It can take cards of
upto 32 gigs if memory. Dont jump off ur seats, as of now the highest
capacity micro SD card available is of 8 GB. I have a 2 GB card which is good enough to hold my entire music collection. Did I forget to mention that HTC Touch ships with a 1 GB card? The music playback is great over my Sony Ericson bluetooth headset. Part of the credit goes to Sony’s good ear buds. Video play back is okay, the default media player plays only Windows video (WMV files). Never mind, Divx Players are outta there. I dont care as most of my video collection is WMV.
Camera is 2 MP one, pretty decent but without flash. Camera phones are always a compromise, yes Nokia N Series and Sony Cybershot I mean you. Memories should be captured in the best possible way and you got Canon to do that for you. For average Joe Touch’s camera is pretty good for day shots.
Some things I wud have loved with this beauty are 3G and GPS, then
Diamond and Raphel are outta there in the market. It got WiFi with good
reception. I often browse using my Touch when I am lazy enough to
switch on my PC. The EDGE / GPRS connectivity is as good as your
provider can offer.
There are hell lotsa software available in the market and so are the games. The bundles games are okay. But best part is that u can run your custom software unlike iPhone (Where you need Steve’s permission). I even managed to write one application that control my AC via a mini USB infrared module.
PS: Yes men do change loyalities often, I often gaze at iPhone 3G with some interest. But HTC touch still rule my heart !
