1-19-08>speaker quality was terrible, touch screen was very responsive, sd card trim still protruded a little, not as bad as the first one (returned for speaker sq)
2-12-08>touchscreen not as sensetive as the last one. hoping i can fix this, but everything is solid. no creaks from battery door yet and i opened it a few times, sd trim has next to no protrusion with a card in place! sound is very good. I think they fixed most of their build quality issues around this mfr date

I don't want to ruin your just-built confidence, but I personally think the build quality of Touch is shi*tty. I've used 5-6 touch, (my own and store demo). The mfr dates back to 10/7, and most recent one is 02/08. Among all those devices, there has been one problem that keeps showing up. The waterwave on LCD screen, you can see it when "touch" the screen with a dark background. This most probably will lead to smudges/shadow spot on your screen later on. I have seen smudges on two touch within one month's usage. Some idealists blamed user for their usage style instead of the manufacturer, but I'd tell you I babyed all my phone but still smudges showed up. There have been other issues such as protruding SD cover, too tightly fit stylus etc. HTC's build quality and QC is even worse than Motorola, unbelievable!
