I just read about the HTC Touch and, whilst I haven’t seen one in the flesh, my existing phone is out of contract in a month or so and do have to say I’m seriously tempted.

This is what the BBC had to say about the device:

As far as I can see, for UK users, the HTC Touch has at least two of advantages over an iPhone:

1. It’s available here, now.
2. It’s about 40% less expensive than the iPhone is predicted to be, without a contract (and just over £50 with a £30 monthly contract on Vodafone).

Of course, it also runs Windows Mobile and lacks the Apple wow factor but I can live without an iPhone. For those who just don’t fancy the idea of running Windows on their phone – there is the Symbian-based Nokia N95, which includes a 5MP camera on it’s spec-sheet.
