Personally, I'm going to wait to pass judgement on any new phone until someone has an ACTUAL hands on review, instead of just gushing over something that no one in the public has even touched yet. I don't care how innovative something is if it turns out to be crap, I want something that works not something that's pretty.]]>Jun 5th 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jun 5th 2007 3:13PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jun 5th 2007 5:46PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jun 5th 2007 10:36PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jun 5th 2007 11:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jun 6th 2007 12:43AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jun 6th 2007 4:04AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/
wow.... its a shame you slept through Marketing 101! they have highest demand of any electronic device this year (despite the fact its not worth it), and you think they made a mistake? yeah, creating hype isn't important....

as far as this HTC, i think i'll keep my pre-order status active with my i-Mate Ulimate line and choose which one i want when they become available!]]>Jun 6th 2007 8:38PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/

Douche, they did it because the FCC would publish the specs.

It isn't an iphone copy, it is a PDA. It feels amazing in the hand and works pretty well. It can be a bit slow at times, but then I do tend to run one to many applications on it.

I am constantly connected with this, and that is what I was looking for.

No problem with lack of 3g as the network is patchy in the US as it is!]]>Jul 5th 2007 6:20AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/how did the screen look? sharp enough? 240x320 seems a bit low on 2.8" screen. how slow is web access?does it allow java plugin?

I simply don't understand how anyone can compare this with the iphone. As a businessperson who travels extensively to Europe and Africa, there is NO way I will ever buy the iphone - way to Mickey Mousey for me - whereas the HTC Touch is simply wonderful:

+ size-wise it compares well with the iphone and is extremely sturdy
+ the screen is quite sharp (better than the HTC Prophet which itself isn't bad)
+ synchronization with my company's MS Exchange server (iphone doesn't do it unless you configure its clunky IMAP)
+ great improvement in UI, especially to access frequently called contacts and sending SMS, etc.
+ most improved dept compared to other HTC phones: the speakerphone for impromptu conference calls with my colleagues while on the go
+ wifi to Edge seamless transition (ok! I wish it were 3G for my Europe trips but T-Mobile doesn't have a 3G network in the US so no big deal here!)
+ replaceable battery - when the iphone battery finally wears out , you will need to send it back to be replaced. Are you kidding me? So what will one do in the meantime? Get a loaner?
+ I am not one to use my phone for music playback (I own 2 ipods - a 60GB for extended travel and a 2GB nano for working out) but the music setup on the Touch was quite simple. I crammed a couple of songs on my SD card and the sound is surprisingly good
+ AT&T/Cingular is the iphone carrier - that right there is a super deal breaker. I ran away from Cingular a while back because of their spotty coverage and atrocious customer service. Nothing will ever make me go back.

To be fair, there is one iphone feature I wish my cellphones would have, and that is the visual voicemail. That's pretty nifty.

All in all, I am very pleased with the Touch and love the form factor. When Apple decides to make a REAL cellphone for businesspeople and work with other carriers, MAYBE I will look at what they have to offer. Until then, WM devices make the most sense for me and HTC is definitely at the top of my list.]]>Jul 7th 2007 10:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Aug 1st 2007 6:19PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/Jul 13th 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/06/05/htcs-touch-with-touchflo-the-elf-with-new-3d-sweep-interface/
I was a bit confused between I phone & HTC but after George comments I agree with him
