Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • TouchFLO 2D is great
  • Good performance
  • Excellent battery life
  • Great online experience
The bad:
  • No substantial internal storage
  • No physical keypad
  • Charging port doubles as headphone socket
The bottomline:

The Touch 3G is a solid performer that will make a great business handset for anyone who doesn't require mechanical input. We, however, would have liked to have seen this smartphone with a keyboard for more accurate messaging.

Editors’ rating:

8.2/10

RRP: AU$799.00
