HTC Touch Dual

I have a Touch Dual. It is much better in normal use than my old HTC Trinity (SPV M700) although the lack of WiFi and GPS is a downer. (Intrigued by suggestions they are there but disabled and a ROM update may be available soon??)It is small like a normal phone, has a phone keypad and the screen can be used almost entirely without the stylus. It runs Tom Tom excellently and all in all, I am glad I upgraded.

I bought the MDA Touch Plus through T-Mobile as a replacement for my ageing MDA vario. The old Vario was a great handset but it was a bit bulky to use as a phone. The new Touch Plus deals with that issue and transforms into a great tactile handset. I like the black rubber feel and it helps to grip the phone as well. I have pretty chunky fingers, but have no problem using the slide out keyboard. The stylus touch type is a bit slower to refresh, but not much of a problem. The Touch Plus synchronised with my MS Outlook brilliantly and is happily downloading mail from 6 of my user accounts. The HSDPA data speed is miles ahead of my old MDA Vario GPRS and web surfing could not be easier. It's early days yet but so far I am very pleased with the small size and feature packed handset. I don't miss the WiFi as if I'm at home, I'll use my laptop on WiFi and leave the MDA Touch Plus plugged in and synch. If I am out and about, then the HSDPA is as fast as my home broadband anyway. I have a data bundle so upload/download costs is not a problem for me using the HSDPA. I agree that it runs my Tom Tom sat nav well so am extremely satisfied with the purchase.

I have an MDA Touch dual for about 3 days now, replacing my old MDA Vario wich I had for almost 3 years. I find it a very handy handset having a lot of benefeits compared with my old phone, but I also found some things I don't like at all. Using it for 3 days now, I had to recharge the batterypack for like two times already. Of course, right after I got it, I had to try it out, configure my e-mail settings and contacts and I did some surfing. Maybe for a longer time than I will do comparable things in the future. But the battery ran out very quickly, especially compared to my old MDA Vario from wich I never updated the battery (for 3 intensive-use-years). It also seems that after a certain while of having the screen lit (i.e. using it), the rear side gets a little hot. I really wonder if other users have the same experiences. It could be just my phone, but maybe it goes for all handsets.The pros? It's a lot faster than my old MDA Vario (195MHz against a new processor that does 400MHz), WM6 has some improvements compared to the 'old' WM5 and it's smaller.

I have never had a mda before, and found the transition from run-of-the-mill mobile to mda very smooth. I upgraded to this phone yesterday and I can't put it down.

just to let you know, your slightly wrong with your review, you said about the predictive text, well there is a button to switch between modes, and it also does indicate which mode your in, if you look at the top and slightly to the right of the middle of the screen, its says 'xt9' when you are in xt9 mode etc etc....

nice phone runs quite alot of things if u are getting a upgrade the the htc diamond or t mobile mda compact iv. 1 thing dont use the phone as soon as you get it le tit charge for atleast 16 hours for better battery life
