The HTC Touch Dual is a quad-band GSM phone that adds a slide-out keypad and other improvements on its predecessor. When HTC released the HTC Touch last year, Windows Mobile had an imperfect champion. It was no Apple iPhone killer, but it was certai...

In the meantime, some good news: this GSM HTC Touch Dual comes unlocked, so you aren't held hostage by any one carrier. The bad news: That freedom comes at a high price - £399 to be precise. Fans of the BlackBerry Pearl's tiny keypad might consider th...

In the hand the Dual is similar but not identical to the original Touch. At 107 x 55 x 16 it is just a shade taller, narrower and thicker, while at 120g including battery it is also some 8g heavier. HTCs Touch Dual: similar to the original in look an...

The phone the Touch should always have been. The faster chip, addition of a slider keypad and HSDPA 3G along with various minor tweaks here and there have resulted in a handset that is easy to use, versatile, smart and robust. Good to see HTC back on...
