Yeah, not really.
Not to take anything away from the touch, but the finger friendly interface cannot be made to pervade throughout the entire OS. So, the home skin that is touch friendly and keyboard replacemnet that is touch friendly are great value, however, once you get into the standard winmo applications, you still deal with the stylus centric interface.
However, if you must use WinMo to connect to corproate mail etc, then the touch seems like a pretty good device.

It also forces you to use the screen keyboard since there's no qwerty keypad, which means you either have really small fingers, really sharp nails, or you become a stylus typer (a buddy of mine has it...its really nice, but after a year with my Treo I'd go nuts without my keypad).

I'll stick with my Tilt - the HTC Touch is a nice concept but you can get the same feel for it by installing pointUI on your Windows Mobile 6 device (see my previous blog entry about that)...and again the pretty skin and touch only goes so far into the experience, once you drill down it's still the standard Windows Mobile interaction underneath.

Besides that - they picked a wimpy processor to stick in a phone like that :)
