aight... more to add to my impression since its been more days of experience...
The screen sensitivity is better then the Mogul BUT its not perfect (compared to the iPhone). The touch sensitivity on the iPhone to me is flawless. My dad owns one so I play around with it all the time. Someone posted a registry hack to make the touch sensitivity better... I have mine currently at 5800. I'm about to raise it higher just to see if there's a difference.
The 2 key touch keyboard to me is the most annoying thing, especially with the XT9 enabled. I was at work and I accidentally left my AIM logged on. A friend IM'd and I try to type a quick response like "I'm at work, ttyl". But that XT9 kept on changing my words to some non sense. I got PocketCM-keyboard running and I'm fine with that. Its small... but I can deal with it. I wish there was a hack to make that full HTC 26 key password keyboard come up all the time. That would be the ultimate keyboard, its like the PocketCM one but bigger.
Not having WIFI is not that bad. It seems that the radio is alot better on the Touch then the Mogul. In my house, I usually had to turn on the Mogul wifi to stream videos or use Sprint TV... but with the Touch, the reception seems acceptable.
the latest Slide2unlock works very good on the touch. There's a few bugs on it they need to fix... but its still good.
I've had several convos with the BT using the Jabra JX10... flawless! No complaints. With the Mogul, no matter what ROM... it seem like I had to always turn off the BT somewhere in the convo because the receiving side started complaining. I try to beam files from my Mogul to the Touch via BT but couldn't get the phones to recognize each other.. but yet I didn't know exactly what I was doing either.
Even with all the highlights, they could have done better constructing the SD slot. Taking the battery cover off for it is very "what the hell??".
Also, the lack of buttons is hard of getting use to. But if we had tons of button, the whole "Touch" idea would be useless wouldn't it? But if they are going to make it more of a "touch feeling"... then it goes back to my point about the touch sensitivity.
Now only if the Touch had a 800 mhz chip like the iPhone... then this would be the ultimate device. But I still prefer the Touch over the iPhone for its Windows flexibilty. I don't care how much power the iPhone has, until it catches up with other phones with 3rd party apps and 3g... it won't be the "best cellphone ever!".
but back to the topic.... Touch>Mogul, Palms,Sidekicks,etc....
