HTC Touch, Blackberry Pearl
The HTC Touch was a surprise: this is a CDMA version of the model I reviewed a few months ago. The Touch is a keyboard-less Windows Mobile 6 phone with a special HTC-developed interface that lets you swipe your thumb up and down the screen to pop up application menus of big buttons. On the Sprint device, one of those menus is messaging - IM, communications manager, SMS, software store and mailbox - and the other is media - Sprint TV, Music Player, and Music Store. The music player is Sprint's Groove Mobile store, which uses tiny little type, so it's difficult to click on options with your fingers. (Fortunately, there's also a stylus.) The device also has a 2-megapixel camera and 128 MB of RAM.



The Sprint Touch has several big advantages over the GSM version, though. The processor speed is doubled: 400 Mhz as opposed to 200 Mhz. The modem is fast EVDO (software upgradeable to EVDO Rev A), not slower EDGE. When the Rev A upgrade comes, it will activate the built-in GPS, and you'll be able to use Telenav for GPS navigation. And this version of the device lets you pop up virtual 12-key and 20-key keyboards with buttons big enough for you to use your fingers, as opposed to the standard Windows Mobile onscreen keyboard with its tiny buttons (which is also an option.) Sprint didn't give a price for this gadget, but said it's probably coming in November.
