Frustratingly Over-Sold and Under-Supported
I've had this PDA now for just under 12-months and in that time it has only worked fully for about 2-months. While the device is primarily intended for a touch-screen market, the sensitivity of the resistive screen (or lack thereof) can make some interactions very difficult without having to rely on the provided stylus. But, be warned even with the lightest of touches with the supplied stylus the screen is prone to scratching and will require the regular replacement of screen protectors. I don't doubt there are many delighted owners who have thoroughly enjoyed having this bright and shiny new toy; however it's worth bearing in mind that there remain several question marks over the performance of some elements of its Operating System and general functionality. Windows Mobile 6.1 is problematic and while HTC attempts to mask those problems with their own proprietary interface only so much can be done to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. What's worse is that HTC's Support is woeful. HTC's bid for mobile supremacy with this device has its flaws; the most prominant of which is HTC itself - buyer beware.

Fantanstic phone
I have had this phone a while now and it is the best phone I have had and believe me I have tried many phones to get something I am happy with. I am hoping to upgrade to the HTC TOUCH HD when it is released

Razor sharp screen, fast, well equiped
Previously owned an original TyTn for over 18 months I can say that the Touch HD is head and shoulders better. The screen is to die for, the contrast is great and the resolution is really good on map work. In fact the only thing that lets it down is the Windows Mobile 6.1 doing the paddling under the much improved touchFlow interface, but you knew that already.
