If this is the future of “dumbphones,” then sign me up. I love my Android, but the plain install I’ve got lacks panache. This HTC Touch.B is running on Qualcomm’s Brew platform, so it’s going to be missing all those apps and such, but it’s nice to see a featurephone not bogged down by an ugly D-pad-based UI.

Isn’t a dumphone the “I-can-only-call-and-text-caus-I’m-dumb” type of phone. This is hardly “dumb”
Well it’s not as basic as the free phones we were getting a few years ago, but almost-smartphones doesn’t have the same ring. You know, it’s not a power phone.
if elegant is now a synonym for crap, then yes, it is an elegant interface
it just seems too….simple. not enough to really interest anybody to getting it. at least thats my opinion.
this phone was exciting when news spread that it will run Android. HTC’s decision to go brew really made them brewed.

To compare this interface to the much more elegant Zune interface is rubbish.
…im using htc pro and very satisfy…
ill never have a dumbphone after having an iPhone. its made my life easier. word up.
I think its just the basic version of the UI , i mean there will be lot of refinements over it.
it just shows there can be life apart from iphone and android.
