Summary: The smallest pda phone with all the features (x-cept 3G)
Comment: The HTC touch is almost everything I would want in a pda phone. The goods- The size, this is tiny and flat. Not alot bigger than a credit card (3.9 inches by 2.8 inches by 1/2 inch thick and weighs just 3.98 ounces). You can put it anywhere and it disappears. It's also very light for a pda phone- for a phone in general. The case is a matte black almost rubberized plastic, it doesn't fingerprint and grips in your hand easily. FYI the green model I was told is a smooth pearl plastic- I haven't seen it in person. It runs Window Mobile 6.0- which is great if you are using the Office applications. The processor is fast enough and does graphics fine. It also tells you when you have too many applications (usually graphic) open- easy to click off from the process manager on the top bar. The battery life isn't drained by the bluetooth like on most other phones. Nor does the wi-fi drain it as much as I expected. The battery should be bigger but since the touch is efficient you break even. I still have to plug it in every night but it's also new, so once I'm not constantly playing with it, maybe it will last longer anyway. I'm personally holding out for an extra capacity battery to appear in the next 6 months. The "touch" part is great- especially switching applications and moving around the screen. The interface is elegant and simple- not gimmicky. All the applications are literally at your fingertips. It has a 2.0 megapixal camera with video and sound (normal and MMS)- no flash but all but my very dark indoor shots come out well, especially with all the light and shooting modes.
I did consider the iphone but the lack of a video camera, blue tooth, and stylus killed it for me. With the 1GB removable mini scan disc- (it can handle storage higher as well) it can do just as well as a mp3 player- at least for me- and I can listen on my stereo BLUETOOTH head phones.
Next the bads- no 3G. Annoying for a new model but Edge is fast enough for regular surfing. Wi-fi is also getting so common it's not really an issue. Besides it has PUSH email so it's not like you are hanging out waiting for it.
I would also like to address the complaints I see about this phone- namely the lack of separate keyboard/small onscreen keyboard. This phone is really tiny- it would be impossible to keep the big screen AND have a keyboard, adding a pull out key board would bulk it up too much. I don't think the online keyboard is meant to be used as a 'regular' keyboard either. I can type (with my nails)- but why? That's what the transcriber is for. Using the stylus I write on the screen and it types it out. Not letters (there is that option) but whole sentences. It's pretty accurate and about perfect, especially if you practice a bit and input your personal style. I do use the keyboard for passwords, number strings, etc. Anyone buying this should keep that in mind- it's not for someone who is insistant on a keyboard. The other is the speaker. It's okay for music and video but do wish it were louder, you certainly can't sit across a desk and have a phone conversation, maybe it's because the speaker is on the back. Pda speakers in general don't have a good track record and my hp messenger was especially terrible. This is at least 2x as loud and is fine for car navigation. The call quality is clear and is loud when used as a regular phone. I also use my blue tooth head set all the time. (no I'm not walking around like the secret service- it's just what I reach for when the phone rings.) The range is good, and I think most pda people will probably be moving that way anyhow. (I have the little Motorola H700 which you open to answer and uses the same charger.)
I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who uses a pda with the exception of those who just can't give up their keyboard. But with tablet PCs coming up- I think it's only a matter of time until you'll need to consider a transcriber anyway. (Just for the record- I would much rather type on my computer than write free hand, but the transcriber is a good alternative when you want small and fast.)

Summary: Excellent touch-screen PDA phone
Comment: The HTC Touch is an excellent choice especially for those who like to customize their experience with the touch-screen PDA phone. The only other similar product out there is the iPhone which has a faster processor and has a larger and more sensitive screen. However, if you want to install your own applications and customize the operating system to your needs, the Touch beats the iPhone hands down. The occasional lag is tolerable and the sensitivity of the screen is enough if you get used to applying the right amount of pressure. I hardly ever use the stylus, and I even use my thumb to type with the standard on-screen keyboard (takes some getting used to) but I don't do much typing or messaging and those who do can install larger keyboard applications or might even be happier with a larger device that has a dedicated keyboard. I actually prefer the Touch's compact size (about the size of a Motorola RAZR V3, smaller and lighter than iPhone).
I am very happy with this product and use all kinds of software on it (internet search and browsing, email, maps, medical software, games, weather, utilities, etc). Call quality and reception is good (most likely a quadband according to numerous user reports, despite HTC's specs) and it's very pocketable. I believe the Touch is the smallest Pocket PC phone around, and within its technical specs, it's an excellent product. Of course if you can wait you are always going to find newer and better products entering the market, but if you need a very pocketable touch-screen PDA phone now and you need the customizability that comes with Windows Mobile operating system, HTC Touch is most likely the best choice for you.

Summary: I love my new HTC Touch
Comment: I am having so much fun with my new HTC Touch. It is everything advertised. It is a great business tool and a great fun tool all packed in a small, slim and light format. It does not do everything that an iPhone does, but it does the things everyone needs and is lighter, smaller and with a better hand grip.
The only negative is the keyboard and I solved that problem by downloading the SPB Full Screen Keyboard ($9.95).

Summary: Sprint HTC Touch
Comment: This is the review for the sprint version of the HTC touch. Everything about this phone is sweet. This phone was in production when Apple was developing their iPhone so there is no need to bash HTC. Apple actually rushed the iPhone to release before this one could have been completed. First of all the Touchflo is completely improved from the GSM version. There is no need for the use of the stylus that was included with the phone. The camera could be better but it is a phone so no credit lossed there. There are several buttons on the phone but everything can be controlled with just the screen. A drawback is that there is no GPS (in the real world who needs that on a phone) and there is no WiFi. That would have been nice even though sprint has a nice sprint speed service, that still doesnt beat WiFi. The ringers are clear and the websites load pretty smooth. Also would have been nice if the page turned horizontal when the phone was. Other than that, this is a solid phone with good capabilities. There are programs that are available to fix all these complaints except the WiFi. The exterior look of the phone is sleek and smooth. Great Phone, Good Buy

Summary: Best phone I've ever had
Comment: I find the phone real easy to use, smooth, very sensitive to touch, despite my large fingers and only need to use the stylus when writing a note or sms. The hand writing recognition is obviously suited to my scrawl, I get at least 90% recognition. Only down for me, was the mission in finding out how to get my home city on the weather and feel HTC should make this easier, although once known, is simple enough.
