HTC Touch2 is ready to help you with all the things you want to do on your phone. Stay in touch with your friends, find out what they’re up to on Facebook, check your mail, or browse the web. It’s all at your fingertips in a compact phone that fits nicely in your hand. Ready to do even more with HTC Touch2? You can add games and applications from the Windows Marketplace to personalize your experience. And you can keep your stuff safe when you back up to Microsoft’s My Phone servers without a PC.

Esentials that Matter
Call your colleagues or friends by finding a familiar face. Browse through incoming text and multimedia messages with just a flick. Pick out your day’s attire by checking the weather tab. Read up on the hottest news from the browser. Check the calendar and get ready to be a star at your next meeting. All this and more delivered to you on the super intuitive interface that puts the most important content within your fingertip’s reach.

Staying Connected
It’s better to have all the ways to stay connected and not need them – than to need them and not have them. HTC Touch2 gives you all the options you ever need to stay in touch with your work and social life. Corporate and personal email set up has been made as easy as inputting your email address and password. Live Messenger for chatting and Facebook for tending to your social network are just a tap away.

Windows Marketplace
With the introduction of Windows Mobile 6.5 comes the long awaited Windows® Marketplace for Mobile. What it means to you is that you now have a secure place to come and browse applications and games optimized for use on your phone. So the phone you buy today grows with you as you get more of the applications you need to help you get the most out of life. (via htc.com )

Design
HTC Touch2 looks small and slim at a first glance, the kind of phone that fits into any pocket. Its compact form makes it also resistant to soft drops, but don’t think of it as a very durable device, as it’s just a mid-budget phone. The whole front part of the phone is seized by the 2.8-inch touchscreen, while the back of the phone only features a 3-megapixel camera. Under the screen, there is a short set of keys that improves users’ interaction with the phone’s interface. Starting from left to right, these are: Accept calls, Home, Menu and Back, Reject calls. At the base of the screen, between the display and the key-set mentioned above, there’s a grading scale that is used to zoom in/out when you open the camera interface.

Impressions
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the new, mid-budget device in terms of design, but a little bit disappointed about the new version of the operating system. While, visually, there are some changes, I still think that Windows Mobile is far from Android and the iPhone in terms of performance, functionality and look. Still, HTC Touch2 is a good smartphone, but only if it sells for a cheap price, otherwise I think people will look for more advanced solutions and Android is so much better for now.

The Good
I would enlist here the ergonomic design of the device, the powerful CPU, which has been included into a phone that is meant for the mass market. Also, I was surprised by the high quality of the music sound, which is really something new for a Windows Mobile device. Adding a 3.5mm jack port is definitely an excellent choice and it offers users the possibility to put in their own headphones. I would also like to add that the new services offered by Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft MyPhone and Marketplace are a good idea, but the latter comes a little bit too late.

The Bad
Well, there aren’t too many bad things that I feel I should mention here. Maybe a better camera would’ve raised the phone’s desirability. While it’s not that bad, the new operating system still doesn’t make me want to buy the phone.
