2nd impressions are convincing! 

Matt Miller has given the HTC Touch Duo a second look and he likes it … a lot!

After I shot my first impressions video I actually went back to the Shadow for a couple of days because I really like using the SureType keyboard and am quite fast with it and I was getting a bit frustrated with the keypad on the Touch Dual. There still seems to be a bug/annoyance on the Touch Dual where the default input method changes back to ABC instead of staying in T9 mode all the time like I want it to and this does require an extra button press. I suppose I could try out the SureType 20-key version of the Touch Dual, but then you do lose the 4 extra hardware buttons (Start, Email, Back, and Internet Explorer) that I use ALL the time so I just need to get T9 working consistently.
