PCWorld reviews the HTC Touch Dual and writes -
“This GSM phone comes unlocked, so you aren’t held hostage by any one carrier. The bad news: That freedom comes at a high price–$550, to be precise. Fans of the BlackBerry Pearl’s tiny keypad might consider this alternative, but I’m desperate for a good set of keys to type up thoughts on the go. If you’re a keyboard junkie like me, I recommend waiting for the recently announced HTC Touch Pro.”

PCAuthority reviews the HTC Touch Dual and writes -
“There’s no denying that the underlying awkwardness of Windows Mobile stops it from being a credible competitor to the (unavailable in Australia) iPhone, but the HTC Touch Dual is worthy of consideration in its own right. For business people in need of push email and Exchange integration, it offers a very sleek and sexy way of doing it.”

CNET Asia reviews the HTC Touch Dual and writes -
“We lamented that the HTC Touch was sluggish and lacked 3G connectivity. These have been fixed in the Touch Dual with added, dramatic improvements like the inclusion of a numeric keypad and an incredible evolution of the TouchFLO interface. Now, WM6 was not built with user-friendliness as its greatest strength, which is why we really liked the Palm Treo 750 for its improvements to the UI. Like Palm, HTC has done an excellent job tweaking the experience so the entire product becomes more accessible to the user. It goes further by making the Touch series really attractive and slim, so switching from a mobile phone from brands like Nokia and Sony Ericsson becomes less painful for those who consider design a big part of the decision.”

InfoSyncWorld reviews the HTC Touch Dual and writes -
“Pros: Fast networking on European HSDPA networks. TouchFLO interface seems to be more responsive. Cons: Still not as agile as other touchscreen devices. No U.S. 3G support. SureType version more interesting than 12-key numeric.”

“As usual for an HTC device nowadays, the HTC Touch Dual is a very polished device, but unlike the original Touch – this phone is actually useful. The new bits and peices of software and utilities that HTC keep adding and improving set this apart from both its older brothers, and other manufacturers.

An excellent phone in its own right, and a massive and welcome improvement over the original HTC Touch.”

PhoneArena reviews the HTC Touch Dual and writes -
“HTC Touch clears the path for the WM6 Professional line of fashion smartphones. Dual is another way to say “slimmer-faster-newer.” The manufacturer should be given credit, not only for adding a slider, but for developing most elements of the interface too. TouchFlo marks serious progress making the phone more similar to the cult iPhone. We should not forget the HSDPA support either, which provides extremely fast internet, wherever there is coverage.”

“Although it lacks Wi-Fi, the HTC Touch Dual is a big improvement over the original model, largely thanks to an improved TouchFLO interface, HSDPA capabilities and a faster processor.”
