I have just spent the first 6 hours with my freshly acquired HTC Touch. Today was also the first day in a new basement sweet, and I can confidently say that the new phone will have a bigger impact on my life than the new living quarters.
As Canada doesn’t yet have the iPhone, the HTC Touch was the natural choice for a smartphone with a touch interface. However, I think that I still would have gone with the HTC Touch over the iPhone anyways.
So far, I have been thoroughly impressed (except for the 2 days it took to activate). The interface is fairly easy to navigate with a thumb and fingernail. The stylus can be done without in most scenarios. I used google maps this afternoon to find and call a few stores. This is a feature that I will NEVER be able to live without in the future again! My email accounts pretty much set themselves up and mobile google reader is set as my homepage. It sounds lame, but these are life changing features.
I haven’t used the HTC Touch in day to day usage yet, so I will not do a full review yet, which will be coming next week. If I’m feeling ambitious, I might even post the review from the phone. Check back here in a week for the full review.
