HTC Touch
The HTC Touch is the first ever phone to have an intuitive touch screen technology. This TouchFLO feature with HTC’s user-centric interface makes the HTC Touch very easy to use with either one’s finger or a stylus. This smartphone is not only finger-sensitive but gesture-aware as well. The HTC user interface greets users with a Today screen and a cube display that launches application with a flip of a finger. It brings users to the address book, music player, photos and videos. Swiping the 2.8” touch screen with one’s finger from top to bottom hides the HTC interface; and swiping up opens it again.
There is also an on-screen keypad, that would be better used with the help of a stylus, and a 5-way d-pad below the QVGA screen. Other buttons in this minimalist-inspired phone are the camera button, power-on key, volume slider and Windows Mobile keys. The slots for microSD and SIM cards are carefully hidden under the chrome trim. Music lovers will definitely appreciate the loudspeaker at the back. The operating system used is Windows Mobile 6 Professional with a Texas Instrument OMAP 850 processor of 201 MHz. For memory, it has a ROM of 128 MB and an SDRAM of 64 MB DDR. The Touch is also compatible with SD 2.0 which allows SDHC cards up to around 2 gigabytes.
Bundled in are HTC’s Audio Manager, Direct Push Outlook® email and Windows Media® Player that supports AAC, AAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, eAAC+, MP3, MPEG4, QCELP, WAV and WMA formats. The HTC Touch is a tri-band that uses EDGE for DATA transmission. For connectivity, there is an 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 technology that will enable owners to use the smartphone as a modem for their laptop. They adequately make up for the absence of 3G.
Aside from being able to web-browse and email, listen to music and watch movie clips, send and receive text and multimedia messages with it, the Touch’ s call quality is rated very well. Its call features include call history and waiting, caller ID, conference calling, flight mode and voice speed dial.
The Touch has a decent CMOS camera with 2-megapixel and fixed-focus lens that takes 1200 x 1600 pixel photos. However, it does not have a flash. Users can opt for standard video for H.263, Motion JPEG and MPEG4 formats, or MMS for H.263 and MPEG4 formats.
This smartphone uses a rechargeable Li-Ion battery with 1100 mAh capacity. With moderate use, battery charge can last up to 3 days. Buyers can choose to own this tiny and stylish smartphone in either black or wasabi green. This 3.95-ounce smartphone comes with an extra stylus, manual with a shortened guide, slip case, software CD, USB connector world charger and USB sync. cable.
