HTC Elf unboxed

HTC’s Elf seems to balance on that precarious line between “meh” and “ooh”, which is pretty much an odd way of saying that while the lack of keyboard is a pain the general appearance of the handset goes some way to making up for it.  The Boy Genius has stayed true to form and got his hands on an Elf, roughly stripping it for our enjoyment. 

According the TBG, HTC have added in a couple of handy features, such as a drop-down task manager list when you tap the X icon and a network setup wizard that recognises your SIM card.  Thing is, are they enough to distract you from the missing keyboard and lack of 3G?
