HTC Touch – My new phone
After about 3 years of service it was finally time to say goodbye to my beloved Motorola V3i. After a hundred reviews, I decided to buy the HTC Touch. The Touch is the closest competitor for the iPhone which is not yet available in India.
The Touch uses a difference kind of touch screen to achieve finger-friendliness, especially gesture-awareness by using Touch Flow. It runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional on a 201MHz processor with the standard 64 megs of RAM and 128 megs of flash ROM. The box comes with 1GB ram card which should suffice for now. Other features include WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 and a 2 megapixel camera.
I tried the Wifi as soon as I reached home and was able to connect effortlessly with my wifi router.
The one con that I hear people say is the lack of a keypad to help with text messaging. I found that the included Transcriber (handwriting recognition) feature was more than enough to write sms’s with a stylus. For those who dont like using a stylus, I guess they should buy the SPB Full Screen Keyboard.

Copy cab file to storage card, run the file on your phone using file explorer.
If you would like other software just try searching google for something like “windows mobile free budget software”

The biggest problem i have faced with the HTC touch, is the inbuilt phone memory. Its too small. If you install a few new programs on your memory card, you will find that the phone memory has also reduced a lot.
The only solution that I have used it Custom Roms. You can find many custom Roms on xda forums.
Most of them have stripped out the unnecessary things so that you can have more space for phone memory. Thats the only advice i can give

Hi Alfred,
I am planning on buying the HTC Touch. I know it’s kinda out dated now. But it fits my bill very well.
I had a few doubts though.
Is the phone really slow? Heard so in some forums.
I am using a Nokia 5500. Any idea how slow would the Touch be compared it (or any of the same generation Symbian phones)?
What about the Customer Service/Service Centres for HTC in Mumbai, India?

Hi,
So nice to find your blog through this article. I too did one of the reviews and talked about my love for the Blackberry because of the great texting abilities.
However, there is no camera so I am glad to know that AT&T carries the HTC Touch and will definitely look into it when my contract comes up.

I dont know about any software other than ActiveSync.
You can ask this question on the xda forums, they will know everything related to these phones.

iPhone would have been my preference if it was available here but for now im really happy with the HTC.
Since it uses Windows Mobile 6, there is loads of software available.
Anyways good choice Keith

Nice Phone, I am planning to buy a iPhone this December lets see how it goes, though I have seen it. I am still skeptical at this point as it would be useless to me in India.
