The new touch phone from HTC is very much in competition with the iPhone touch screen. I'll check it I call the "touch", and that so much as the type of features you can expect for your money.
Some time ago I asked what was my favorite phone, and I thought because I was a little 'outdated and I realized I was now in a more modern phone. Recent digital technology has led toConvergence of devices on a portable device that can be your Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), portable digital music or MP3 player, cell phone and even personal video player. I went back and thought over my original criteria for the purchase of a mobile phone a few years, which of course updated over time, now that the new technologies available today are:
Alltel Wireless Cell Phones
Purchase of a checklist at hand
Sun - went to do so after a fewSearch. I've seen a lot of hours to PDAs, mobile flipchart, walkie-talkie phones, sliders, and more ... and the "touch" mobile phone "HTC" was the one that caught my attention. It fits perfectly on my list of purchase, it is always very good reviews on the web, it is easy to hold and not on a range of external buttons to fool with either.
Here are the finer points of the phone:
TouchFLO Technology: In other words: "It works like aiPhone "(half price). You can use a pen, but my fingers are so good, because just like an iPhone or iTouch can be used.
Windows Mobile 6: You can synchronize your Outlook calendar and contacts with your PC with "ActiveSync".
2 megapixel camera: Take the best picture quality up to 1200x800 pixels - good enough to print or use them for desktop backgrounds.
MicroSD memory card slot: lasts up to 4 GB and canStore up to 450 + songs in your phone.
Stereo Bluetooth: Use your phone as a high quality built-in MP3 player with Bluetooth stereo.
Phone as a modem to surf the Internet on your laptop via your mobile phone.
4 hours of talk time: Pretty good for a touch phone.
Rubber Case: Easy to palm and hold comfortably for long periods of time.
This phone is a concrete step in technologyan affordable price. You can buy one with a contract under 0, and the phone is called the "touch" because of it's touch screen (much like the iPhone and iTouch). With Windows Mobile 6 this phone easily syncs with your Windows based Outlook email and contacts. The stereo bluetooth capabilities give you not only the ability to use this phone as a quality mp3 player, but it also has the abiltiy to "stream" music from the phone and Internet radio stations to your stereo headset. The screen is comparable to a video iPod, coupled withe the SD memory card slot and ability to use removable media up to 4GB - you can easily watch portable videos on the go without the need for an additional device. Check your email on the go, use the web while away, this devide even has the ability to connect via wifi hot-spots!
You can use this phone on Sprint, Alltel, Verizon, AT&T (Cingular) - so nearly all the major carriers have it now. You can even find it on eBay - you might even get a deal. The advantage of buying on eBay is if you pay the price there you won't have to buy into a contract. But if you get it from one of the carriers (Sprint, etc.) you'll get it cheaper (usually) - but have to sign up for probably a 2 year contract. You might get lucky and get some kind of mail-in rebate as well.
I think that more and more new cell phones will work as an integrated device like the touch (cell phone, PDA, mp3 player, and web on the go) - and the prices are just going to get better each and every day. If you're looking for a new or replacement phone - the Touch HTC is a perfect choice!
