Infosync reviews the HTC Touch mobile phone and writes, "The HTC Touch is not a bad phone for calling and viewing. While using the multimedia functions with the included remote, or for basic information gathering, the Touch offers a new look at windows mobile 6. It isn't fully cooked yet. The touch screen lags behind, and the new TouchFlo features are hardly skin deep. Still, it feels like a good start getting WM6 to be more touch sensitive. Unfortunately, users who need a keyboard for any reason beyond dialing will be frustrated by the onscreen, pop-up keyboard on Windows Mobile."

MobileBurn has a review of the HTC Touch and writes, "the HTC touch comes reasonably equipped for general multimedia tasks. For starters, its 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera takes nice photos in most situations with at least half decent lighting. The automatic white balance system it uses is pretty accurate, and the finger based user interface is very easy to use. The only real problem is that the camera's UI and the orientation of the photos the camera takes are usually not in sync. What I mean is that when you hold the phone horizontally so that the shutter button is positioned under the user's right index finger and the UI is readable, the photos the camera takes are rotated 90 degrees (portrait mode). The only case where this works is when shooting in the contact photo mode, which is supposed to be in portrait mode. You can easily edit, crop, and rotate an image with the Touch itself, but you shouldn't have to. This is obviously a bug. Luckily recorded video clips don't have the same problem."
