that's why i don't really like the Touch's LCD placement which is very fragile. this does make it easier to use since the LCD is placed on the same level as the casing (seamless design) as compared to other PDAs where the LCD is recessed about a few milimetres deep. furthermore, the Touch's slim and small design doesn't help in protecting the LCD and it even makes it easier to slip out of the hand (and drop to the ground!).

Should be okay if the seal is broken, but of course you have to do some research yourself to see which parts must come in the package like cable, manual, CDs, stylus, etc.

Also, as long as you getting from a reputable PDA shop such as Fresh Gear, you should have nothing to worry about.

PC Fair in KL is this friday to sunday. Might have some deals there, so hold your horses before buying a Touch before then. But IMHO, i don't think there'll be any offer since the Touch is still very new in the market.

nah. it doesn't matter.

anything that has a built-in GPS, 400 MHz and 128mb memory will surely be EXPENSIVE. think about Dopod D810's price + RM500 or more.

HTC Touch is always meant for the entry level PDA range at RM2099 RRP.

Try to use a proper SP. Those thick ones will make the screen unsensitive.

Don't get the Atom. It is using Intel Xscale high-MHz processor which equals to BAD BATTERY LIFE.

Do you really want to live on the inconvenience of using spare batteries? Think about it.

Also, the OMAP processor in Touch doesn't mean that it is slower than Intel Xscale at higher MHz. Clockspeed is not everything.

Apart from it being fragile, i don't see anyone complaining.

HTC is a well-known maker of high quality PDA phones unlike other companies like Quanta (which produces the HP 6828 and O2 Atom) and Gigabyte (maker of XDA Stealth).

the HTC Prophet is not bad even though it is using 2MP too. i believe the Touch shouldn't be that far off, although it lacks the macro-lense present in the HTC Prophet.

a pic i took recently using my HTC Prophet:

how much is brand new 818 Pro nowadays at shops (for those that still sell it)? basically Touch is same specs as 818 Pro except for the TouchFLO and WM6 and slimmer form factor.

at only RM2499 for 838 Pro, it is surely the better buy since the original price of 838 Pro was 3.2k IIANM.
3.2k original-RRP vs 2.1k (Touch) original RRP.
definitely the 3.2k wins.

why i say it's better anyway? you'll be bored with the TouchFLO after some time and the design of the 838 Pro is small too, even though not as small as Touch. and everything else, the 838 Pro wins the Touch, of course.

It works very well, that's all i can say.

wah. ur dog so crazy one?

mind to take a pic and share with us here?
