HTC Goes Back to Basics

The HTC Touch 2 is a true smart phone. The first impression you get from this mobile phone is that it is made for some serious mobile work, and it does that well. The Touch 2's external features are very businesslike with a touch of regality. The brown chrome finish and the sleek black glass make this phone suitable for the atmosphere of the office. Be it in the center of a conference room or on top of your mahogany work desk, the Touch 2 will be right at home in the fast paced corporate world.

Having good design aesthetics may seem like child's play for most people, but considering how most smart phones seem to all look alike (yes iPhone, we are looking at you), it is quite a refreshing change to see a phone with such a unique personality. HTC's wisdom in mobile phone manufacturing does not end there. The Touch 2 also comes packed with a lot of impressive innovations inside as well.

The TouchFLO 3D User Interface

Let us face it, having a good interface is important in a touch screen phone. It does not matter how big the screen is or how accurate the finger tracking works when the interface itself does not do anything but respond sluggishly to finger gestures.

What touch screen phones need is a good interface that responds quickly, is intuitive and sensible in terms of design aesthetic. The TouchFLO 3D user interface literally sets the benchmark when it comes to excellent user interface design. Without even reading the manual (even though we highly recommend that you do so), navigating your way around the Touch 2 is easy thanks to the 3D version of the TouchFLO user interface. Yep, the TouchFLO 3D is the new incarnation of the already existing and still impressive TouchFLO interface; and yes, its in 3D.

Touch Screen Wonders

The touch screen accurately tracks your finger movements and slight taps allowing you to push, slide and click objects onscreen without any hassle. The processor also takes care of successive inputs allowing the display to refresh accordingly. Load times are barely noticeable and there is no delayed response to user input commands through the touch screen or the keyboard. This touch screen is complemented by a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard that you can use for typing messages quickly. By combining these great interface features, HTC has done great things with the HTC Touch 2.
