Default HTC Touch vs BBPearl - 09-07-2007, 11:22 PM

I have been looking at the HTC Touch to replace my Pearl.
I am not technical so I don't understand all that technical stuff and what technical stuff makes one better than the other.

I love everything on the Pearl except Internet access. It's not even usable. I have tried Opera and that hangs up all the time! I finally removed it.

Can anyone tell me pros/cons about the Touch? Can you compare it to the Pearl?

Thanks!

Upfront, I know very little of the Touch, but why was your internet "not even usable"? Were you not able to connect or what? I have a Pearl in my household, no problems, works well.

Touch? Another one of those no keyboard things?

yeah another touchscreen, no tactile.

check out the video and i compares touch to iphone, good info for both.
I have no opinion on touch other that HTC has a good rep with making hardware but Win Mobile is not going to be better than BB in my opinion.

I have a HTC Touch as one of my Windows test devices. It's a very flush device and the TouchFlo interface is nice and accurate, but overall it's a painful device to live with, especially if you're used to BlackBerry and lot of email (like me). It has some lovely features but with the amount I rely on my device I couldn't use it and nothing else. I wrote a full review and screen dumped it here if you want to take a look:

Exchange Direct Push data

If you're used to a keyboard you'll miss not having one, as despite how nice TouchFlo is, the device still has the same tiny on screen qwerty keypad.
