When you first take the Touch 2 in your hand, it looks like an impressive little gadget with a lot of promise. The gunmetal matte finish on its plastic body looks elegant. WinMo, even in the latest 6.5 flavour is bound to put off rnost people, but HTC's own TouchFLO UI augmentation makes this phone more usable. The phone is fast and we found the scrolling shortcut bar at the bottom of the home screen to be quite handy for quickly launching certain applications. Getting into deeper options within the phone is still a pain. Those familiar with WinMo will find it an improvement but someone not so adept will have a hard time performing simple tasks. The resistive screen, although nice looking, is not very responsive to finger input. The dedicated hardware keys will come of use. The camera is not very impressive either. It distinctly had trouble handling different lighting conditions, resulting in a sepia-like colour tone in many shots. The inbuilt GPS and preloaded applications such as Facebook, You Tube and Office Mobile definitely earns the phone some points. We find the price tag to be tad on the outer side. HTC has better offering around that price point.
