Recently, Gear Diary posted an in-depth article comparing and contrasting the HTC Touch and the HTC Touch Dial.
Among the common traits both smartphones share are:
- TouchFLO touchscreen technology
- flush-mounted screens
- an ergonomic body with a rubber grip for comfort
- a minimalist design with just a D-pad and two-buttons below the screen
From there, the two smartphones start to diverge. For starters, the HTC Touch Dual has a longer and narrower face while the HTC Touch has a shorter and wider face. Which is thinner? Surprisingly, the HTC Touch, despite that the HTC Touch Dual looks thinner.
Beyond look and feel, quite likely the greatest difference between the two devices is the slide-out numeric keypad that comes only as part of the HTC Touch Dual.
Currently, however, the HTC Touch is the only one of the two available for U.S. users, with both smartphones out in European GSM models. Service on the CDMA US model of the HTC Touch is with Sprint.
