Sure the iPhone does a fantastic job at making usability simple but with it comes a straight jacketed approach that really frustrates me. Welcome to the HTC Touch HD, can it live up to all the hype, is it really the device that can pull me away from the iPhone 3G and condemn it to my sock draw, read on to find out.
This being an HTC handset there is a version of the TouchFLO interface on board. You can use this to sweep and swipe at the screen to scroll through various elements of what the device has on offer. Moving through albums or photos is rewarding on the comparatively large screen.

Other devices might offer better cameras, and better data input facilities (there’s only an on-screen keyboard) and even fit better in the pocket, but all-in-all, and while the first generation Android device comes very close, the HTC Touch HD is the best alternative iPhone we’ve yet seen.
