The phone also comes with motion sensitive gestures like tilting the phone downwards to turn it to silent mode.
It’s really been bugging me. When I set my eyes on the cool and slick real estate of the HTC Touch Dual, I experienced one of those moments that could only be described as an epiphany - finally understanding that thing that has been bugging me at the back of my head. The HTC Touch Dual reminds me of a device that didn’t sell very well and yet was almost brilliant enough to change the way Windows Mobile smartphones were developed. And I’m talking about a blast from the past — the O2 XDA Stealth
