The HTC is a big manufacturer name in mobile phone production and the HTC Touch 3G promises to be a winner in the smart phone category.

With a weight of 96g and dimension of 102x53.6x14.5 mm, HTC Touch 3G is a very compact device aimed at those for whom weight and space is at a premium. The small size does not infringe on capability, however, and it offers a range of colours - particularly impressive in the gold colour.

With the excellent 2.8 inch screen that can be found on a number of HTC phones - a full QVGA device with touch screen capability - the Touch 3G is capable and promises much simply in appearance.

The HTC Touch 3G is more than just being good looking, however, as the high speed - 7.2 Mbps - HSDPA broadband capability with quad-band support for GSM networks is a definite plus sign, and with Wi-Fi and GPS incorporated the use of maps is a simple procedure that is becoming a must have on many such phones these days. It also sports a built-in GPS receiver with Google Maps pre-installed.

The ...
... HTC Touch 3G is a Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone, supporting MS Exchange, push email, mobile versions of MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint, a PDF reader. Those familiar and happy with Windows Mobile will be among the likely customers. Paring down the TouchFLO interface from 3D to 2D brings improvement when compared to the HTC Touch Diamond and makes the handset easy to use and tactile to handle.

With 192MB of RAM the HTC Touch 3G has a very capable memory base. One of the earlier criticisms of HTC phones has been that they were slower than many rivals, but the HTC Touch 3G's 528MHz processor takes a step forward in that respect and delivers zippy interface navigation.

Memory is expandable by the usual card slot, and the 3.2 megapixel camera is only adequate for the daily use. Added features include Bluetooth and the usual additions, giving the Touch 3G a firm footing in the market place. Online applications such as the Opera Mini web browser, YouTube viewer and Google Maps are also included.

The battery is decent, too, providing six hours of talk time and nearly 19 days of standby time on a charge, and this is HTC Touch 3G's most impressive point. All in all as HTC's mid-ranged smartphone, HTC Touch 3G is a great phone with good looks and solid performance.
