We like:
Faster processor; HSDPA; new one-click access menu
We don't like:
Keypad looks plasticky; lack of Wi-Fi
CNET.co.uk judgement:
If you're an HTC Touch fan, then you'll like the Dual's mechanical keypad that makes texting and dialling a lot easier, plus the new shortcut menus. HSDPA means much faster access to the Internet, and the faster processor and more RAM means that it doesn't lag when using or opening applications. The TouchFlo interface is still only skin deep, though, and there's no Wi-Fi, which may or may not put you off this phone
