The enticing Sprint Touch is sexy, alright, what with its touch-screen display and iPhone-like appearance. I got some hands-on time with Touch here at CTIA, and while the initial 3D menu is certainly tap-worthy, I was reaching for the stylus once I got to the standard Windows Mobile interface.The 3G-capable Touch ($250 with a two-year contract, available November 4) is definitely a sleek phone; it’s small and slim enough to fit in a jeans pocket, and nearly featureless save for the nearly three-inch touch screen, a navigation pad and the twin soft keys.
Hit the power button and you get the “TouchFlo” interface: a 3D cube that gives you quick access to the Touch’s main functions (namely messaging, Web browsing, and multimedia), as well as favorite contacts. You can get to the TouchFlo cube any time by touching the Sprint logo just below the screen and swiping upward, while swiping left or right swivels the cube around; strangely, though, this “cube” really only has three sides (for apps, multimedia, and contacts), and there’s nothing on the top or the bottom of the cube. Still, it’s a cool-looking, clever interface, and I got a kick out of swiping and tapping it. Especially nice is the contacts pane; just click an empty box to add a contact, which appears as a photo (provided your contact has an image associated with it). Source tech.yahoo.com
