When the specifications for the HTC Elf, the platform the HTC Touch is based on, were released some time ago it was met with little...

I thought I'd miss the scroll wheel, but the scroll on the screen gets around that. You don't need soft buttons either with the flush screen. It has to be tried really. It's much quicker for me than using the buttons.

Hmm, still loving it then Dave? No issues surfaced at all yet?

hi,
i purchased a new htc touch, so far i am impressed with the phone. i was hoping for a T9 input system for the msg but its not there. hopefully i will be able to download that from the net. if any of you have the T9 input please help me. thanks.

There is a t9 phone pad about that came packaged with some of the older ROMs. Have a look here:-

well i saw this little beastie in London yesterday and fell in love. my MDA Touch comes tomorrow to complement the Ameo.

Say goodbye to your stylus Des.

I still rate the Touch as the best at the moment.

I hope so, I was going to wait for the HTC Wing, but was simply astounded at how svelte the Touch is. I think that this is going to be the first PPC where I try to be minimalist to keep some of the CPU speed. The Ameo is for work, and does very well at it, but the Touch fits the bill for pleasure (Not sure how that sounds though!)

BTW, what SIP are you using, and what tips/tricks have you discovered since the review regarding ther Touch?

I flip between two SIPs. SpB Fullscreen Keyboard in landscape mode for hardcore typing and the PocketCM SIP for portrait keyboard I've found to be by far the best.

I never really altered the software on the Touch. Other than Sat Nav, Resco and Sudoku I've not loaded hardly anything. I think the HTC Home plugin and the regular MS stuff does it for me. That could be why I've had so few problems too, but mine's been bulletproof from day one.

Cheers Dave,

I'm going to try the Teksoft keyboard as I have that on the Ameo for now, but will also look at the SPB fullscreen keyboard. Have you played about with other ROMs and/or Overclocking the CPU at all?

I've downloaded a couple of ROMs and have been tempted by the page pool size tweak, but for the first time ever I've found a device that is 95% there with the launch ROM, so I've not taken the plunge yet.
