Touching the HTC Touch

My conversion to Windows Mobile is taking place in a few hours. Again.

I think it’s fair to say that I am one of the few hardened mobile geeks who …

– bought the XDA
– bought the XDAII
– joined Orange because of their SPV handsets
– owned every single SPV handset
– loved Windows Mobile. Hated the reboots and slowness.
– has spent thousands on Windows Mobile devices

It all got a weeeeee bit too much for me. But I am determined to change things around. I think I can live beautifully in sync with a Windows Mobile device. I’m particularly enamoured at the concept of the HTC Touch. No keyboard, aye.. but what an interface.

I am picking one up later today, weather permitting.

I think I might swap to it for a week.

Then, I’ll report back. You know, I’m going to like it. I can feel it in my water.

Then, if HTC are ok with it, I’m going to give it to Mr Normob — (“normal mobile user”), Ben Harvey, and see what he makes of it in another write-up. Knowing Ben, it wll be quite an extensive look from a normal user’s perspective.
