They both has the 2.8 inches TFT touchscreen with the resolution of240 x 320 pixels but Touch 3G is a little bit thinner and slimmer. As this is a
Touch device physical buttons are in short supply, however you do have a 5 way D-Pad and phone send and end keys below the display. The top of the handset has a power button and you can also see
the earpiece and the LED's along with the stylus at the right corner. Also notice that there are a volume control on the left side and a mini-USB connector bottom. The single mini-USB port is for
charging, syncing and connecting a wired headset. On the rear is a 3.2-megapixel camera. Overall the size of the device is very impressive and very pocketable.
Again, the Touch 3G's operating system is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Its running is a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7225 CPU and it also has 256 MB ROM and 192 MB RAM, we have nearly 80 MB free for
running programs. For additional memory, it supports MicroSD expandable memory with a reader slot located under the battery cover.
The TouchFLO, known from Viva, is incredibly fast, we don't have to wait a lot for programs to start up, scrolling is also fast, so I can say that it's really okay. HTC have included various
onscreen keyboard configurations, Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, and the usual Windows Mobile Transcriber, Block Recognisers etc. But you also can matching with third party keyboards
like SPB Keyboard 4 improves on the HTC keyboard experience.
We have the usual set of software, besides the default Windows apps we have some other delicacies like Opera 9.5 web browser, Adobe Reader, an RSS reader, fast GPS positioning, ZIP and of course
YouTube. The People, Messaging, Mail, Web, Camera, Music, Weather, Settings and Programs Tabs have all been seen on other devices but one new tab has appeared and that is the Maps Search. This tab
gives you immediate access to Google Maps to search services etc, a nice new tab to use.
The musical part is the usual. There is no standard jack output, we plug the headset in the miniUSB-compatible HTC ExtUSB port, what a shame. The music player's not bad, it looks cool, displays
album covers and,it can be accessed from TouchFLO. It can filter tracks by ID3 tags, it supports playlists and it even has an equalizer, even though this works only if the headset is plugged in; I
really can't understand why. Sound quality is medium via the handsfree speaker, but we shouldn't face it face up on a table as then barely any sound can be heard, weird. There's a full music
library system, shuffle, repeat and an audio booster to get better sound quality when your headset is plugged in.
