Review Summary

While it probably won't strike a chord with the average iPhone user, the Touch HD is a great effort from HTC, demonstrating that it can still put more into its already formidable range of high-end handsets.

This is the one and only handset you should get if you have a PlayStation 3 at home. On its own, the Aino is a very capable multimedia feature phone. Who knows, you may be tempted to fork out money for a PS3 after that.

There are a lot of things we like about the N900, but just as many which annoy us. That said, it's still a very capable smartphone (if you call it that), but just not ready for primetime, yet.

HTC's first smartphone with WM6.5 ticks almost all the boxes for an entry-level smartphone, though it needs to be cheaper to differentiate itself from more highly-specced products.
