We also like the fact there’s a Java runtime included, previously a rarity on CDMA Windows Mobile phones. There’s a lot to like about this PDA phone and our only complaints are the lack of an MMS client and the mediocre camera shots.
MobileTechReview Reviewed HTC Mogul and gave out “A very strong offering from Sprint, and a worthy, if not overdue, successor to the PPC-6700. The Mogul is manageable in size, powerful in terms of processing performance and storage memory and it has fast EVDO for pleasingly fast data performance. WiFi will keep you connected when not in an EVDO coverage area , and Bluetooth 2.0 means you can use your favorite Bluetooth headset and car kit with the phone.”

The new Mogul should offer 20% better battery life than its predecessor along with a host of upgraded specifications, including a 2 megapixel camera, a thumb-wheel, and twice the built-in storage (256MB). At 110mm x 59mm x 18.5mm (4.33″ x 2.32″ x 0.73″), the Mogul is also thinner than the device it replaces.
MobileBurn Reviewed HTC Mogul and gave out “While it will only support the original EV-DO Rev 0 data specification initially, a free software update that will be available in the future will give the Mogul access to full EV-DO Rev A data speeds. The Mogul supports Sprint’s Power Vision services, including the Sprint Music Store and its over the air music downloads. On top of that, the Mogul supports WiFi wireless networks and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless connections with devices like headsets, including A2DP compatible stereo headphones.”

The HTC Touch includes some very innovative and useful software customizations and changes to the Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system.
PocketNow Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “The screen looks great when you’re indoors, but if you take this outside, the screen becomes very difficult if not impossible to see even on its highest brightness setting. The 2 megapixel built-in camera has a slightly different interface than previous HTC Camera applications. The camera interface is full of cryptic icons, but you should recognize most of them from using other cameras.”

HTC Touch is all very clever and pretty, though I’m not feeling it improves ease of use all that much since the special user interface doesn’t extend beyond the Today Screen and the cube-launcher application.
MobileTechReview Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “The HTC Touch is a beautiful, very small PDA phone, something we just about never get to say. It’s the perfect phone for style conscious buyers who need a PDA’s features and advanced functions, but don’t want to carry an ugly brick. However, those who text or email frequently won’t be happy with the tiny on-screen keyboard and (very functional) handwriting recognition. The Touch uses a difference kind of touch screen to achieve finger-friendliness, especially gesture-awareness. It’s not a multi-touch display like the upcoming iPhone and you can use a stylus, again unlike the iPhone which needs a human touch to work correctly.”

The strangest thing about the Touch is that HTC obviously thinks that overlaying a touch-friendly skin on a bog standard Windows Mobile installation will instantly make it irresistible to consumers.
Trusted Reviews Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “The Touch is a terribly flawed attempt at a mainstream consumer product from HTC. There’s no denying that the TouchFLO interface works well, but all it does is take you to applications which then require traditional Windows Mobile stylus input. It may be the prettiest device that HTC has brought to market, but that’s really all it has going for it.”

The HTC Touch is one of the better Windows Mobile phones I’ve seen in awhile. The lack of a QWERTY keyboard can be overlooked after a few days of practicing using the on-screen keyboard.
CrunchGear Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “he screen looks fantastic, the WiFi is fast, and the TouchFLO interface is pretty fun to use.You can access your media via the aforementioned interface and playback music and video you’ve recorded with the flick of a finger. Included are USB headphones, a data cable, and a carrying case to make your experience a little more enjoyable.”

At 100mm x 60mm x 15mm in size, the Touch is very slightly wider than the original Motorola RAZR V3, while being roughly the same height and thickness. At 116g, it is also pretty light for a Pocket PC device. By comparison, HTC’s own P4350 (aka T-Mobile Wing) looks like a giant next to the Touch and weighs 53g (1.9oz) more.
MobileBurn Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “For me, the HTC Touch addresses these problems. It certainly is crippled when it comes to finger based text entry, but apart from that, I rarely need the stylus at all in typical use. The Touch turns out to be a good passive messaging and data consumption device. It has the power to get information to the user, and present it in a usable fashion, but lacks some of the practical aspects of other Pocket PC devices that allow users to edit documents or create new messages easily.”

However, our biggest beef with the HTC is that there’s no easy way to enter text. Given the compact design, a full QWERTY keyboard is clearly out, but you’re reduced to using a tiny virtual keyboard that absolutely requires the use of a stylus.
CNET Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “The good: The compact HTC Touch features an advanced touch screen that lets you operate the smart phone with your fingertips. The Windows Mobile 6 smart phone also has an updated interface, integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera.The bad: The Touch’s tiny onscreen keyboard makes it a pain to enter any text, and the TouchFLO feature doesn’t work in landscape mode. The SIM card and microSD slots are hard to access. Also, speakerphone quality was poor, and the device can be sluggish at times.The bottom line: The HTC Touch boasts an innovative touch screen and sleek interface, but the lack of a sizable keyboard really limits the usability of this device. And despite being impressed by the beautiful hardware, the Windows Mobile smart phone lags in performance and needs a bit more tweaking before we’re ready to snatch one up.”

The hardware itself is a beautiful piece of design. The Touch weighs just 112g and is only 14mm thick, HTC also includes a 1GB micro-SD card, which is ample for a few short films or a mid-sized music collection.
PCPro Reviewed HTC Touch and gave out “Wireless options are reasonable without being a headline feature. GPRS and EDGE are practical for inbox synchronisation, although the latter is about as much use as a steering wheel on a motorbike here in the UK. But the lack of 3G means online video is out, and we noticed a distinct slowness while browsing the web with the Touch, compared to the 3G Nokia N95.”
