...couldn't stand waiting around for the iPhone to make it to India so just went ahead with the 'HTC Touch'. This phone is quite comparable, in terms of features, with the iPhone. It is a totally touchscreen based phone with just 3 small buttons, as you can see below, near the bottom of the phone...
The coolest feature of this phone is the 'TouchFLO' screen. When you slide your fingers on the screen in a certain way the screen rotates to a different desktop. Each of these desktops serves a different purpose, like one of them is the multimedia center which has audio and video launchers. Other one has contacts and so on. By the way the music player's interface is very similar to the iPod interface. The phone has a nice 2.8 inch screen and the videos in landscape mode look really good...
Other than that the phone has Wi-Fi and I've already used Wi-Fi to surf the net without opening the laptop ;-)
This phone has Windows Mobile 6.0 and HTC has worked with Microsoft to provide its own interface, which is pretty striking, and to add the TouchFLO technology...
It has the pocket version of Microsoft Office and can sync with your Outlook email over both wireless and wired interfaces. I haven't used the wireless interface because don't have GPRS nor have the access rights for the corporate email server. But have used the wired interface to sync with my laptop directly and that is pretty straightforward...
Cool device overall, weighs only 112grams, pretty light for a Windows based smartphone and the form factor is quite cool too. It is definitely a tiny device compared to others. The phone is being provided by AirTel in India and also comes with a 1GB micro SD card on which you can store your audio and video files...
