HTC My Touch Reviewed: March 2010

Htc My Touch

Pros:

With having only an on screen keyboard, this phone is compact and lightweight.
Controls are great with a trackball, dedicated search button and a very responsive screen.
With the android operating system, this fully customizable phone has the processor and ram to pack quite a punch.

Cons:

The My Touch without the 3.5mm audio jack is not very ideal due to not being able to charge and use the plug in headset.
Battery life leaves more to be desired. When you have all kinds of apps running, you are going to run out that battery too.
Audio quality seems to be a little worse than other brands that have been reviewed.

The Low Down:

This phone by HTC has a durable screen, great button layout, and has a good on screen keyboard.
If you have the one with the 3.5mm audio jack then congrats, you can charge the phone and listen to music on the headphones at the same time AND also get a little boost in ran compared to the 1st version of the my touch.

A Taste of what this can do for you:

HTC put a lot of time into making sure that developers have access to source code and can modify the operating system. They seem to know that it takes good developers working together to make sure their products do well.
The browser even looks and feels like a regular desktop computer internet. Not to dis Samsung or Blackberry, but you lose the feel of the web page using these browsers.
With the google market, the possibilities are endless by downloading what you want. Just type it into the search and download what you want. The cool thing about the market is, it grabs updates for you so you always have the most up to date version of your program.
Between the calendar, alarm clock, browser, viseo and still picture camera, this phone is very versatile. Its compact size due to only an on screen keyboard makes it very light and extremely versatile.
The phone has on of the best touch screens (right behind the G1) that I have ever used. Very responsive, and the screens that the HTC phones come with are VERY durable.
