[...] Despite my frustration with the layout and customization (or lack thereof) of the Launcher Panel, I was extremely impressed by how well it worked. In fact, this is exactly the type of functionality I said was missing from the TouchFlo Cube when I reviewed the HTC Sprint Touch. [...]

Charlie, Y’know, I noticed that looked like a beret as well. Trust me…it was not! It was just my normal baseball cap from a funky angle.

Pedah, right, when I said real world I meant how would it work under my normal configuration with all of my apps loaded. I did not test it that way though, since I wanted to focus on some of the plug-ins that came with it, and see how they worked.

400Mhz sounds right to me. I think I recall seeing that but I honestly forgot to look (I knew I would forget something).

No I’m not going to touch you, until you take off that beret you’re wearing…

Sigh, once you go iPhone, it’s hard to get excited with anything else, not with this one anyway.

Great review Doug, as usual.

It wasn’t in the review, I think in the preview you mentioned it,400 MHz. “Real World” Doesn’t that mean functional? As in it does everything I need it to do flawlessly?

Pedah,

Sorry, the Touch is already packed away for shipping, and I do not recall off the top of my head whether it was a 400 Mhz processor.

As for other apps. This is a problem I have with every device. Do you load other apps and test it under “real world” conditions or do you test it clean with nothing else loaded. Since I wanted to test out a lot of the preinstalled apps and test the memory and battery on a clean system, I did not load any other apps on this one.

Does this Touch have the 400 MHz processor, not available for me. My initial response to these was wow and then I saw the actual size of the Touch and, well spoiled with the x51v screen. Nice review. Wondered if you installed any other apps to the Touch while you were using it?
