The Touch Dual tries to combine the best of both worlds, a touchscreen-centric device with a physical text-entry system. I think that this can certainly be done, and done elegantly. But I'm not convinced that the Touch Dual is that device. The predict...
Smooth TouchFLO UI, Fast video streaming from YouTube, Beautiful handset design, Excellent call quality
Noticeable lag when opening and closing apps, Not a full QWERTY keyboard, Camera occasionally freezes, No 3.5mm headset jack

The HTC Touch Dual with the SureType keyboard is the best version of this phone weve seen, and weve seen quite a few, but now were ready for whats next. We liked the SureType keyboard plenty, and it definitely improved not only the messaging expe...
