Hi friends HTC is a bit different from the rest company, yes its true that its just like a newbie because its not in the market since a very long time but believe me the company has made its reportation quite good in a really short intance of time... ok now lets talk about this handset.. i purchased this handset last year i thought its too expensive for me but still anyways i purchased it... the first impression of the phone was really cool and porsche and when i used it i really came to know how cool it is.. first of all this mobile phone is just like a PDA not a cell phone as its based on windows mobile platform... and this handset has a very unique feature of touch flo technology that makes it easy to also scroll with ur fingers.. all the useful and important icons are just o the standby menu waiting for your finger to touch and activate... you can also use the stick that comes with the PDA itself so this way its easy for you to chose... now lets talk about the features it has a very bright and high resolution display with touch sensors as i have already told above... it also has a very easy to setup email accounts so u don't need to manually enter the server details for you'r POP3 or SMTP as it automatically detects them for you which is really cool.. another great feature is that it consists of 3.2 mega pixel optical camera with carl zeiss technology... so picture quality is not that bad... also it has bluetooth 2.0, wifi, GPS , Internet explorer, voice recognition, music player, expandable memory i.e Micro Sd upto 8gb which is quite good ... one more feature that i really like about this handset and which makes it different from HTC touch diamond id itd complete QWERtY keyboard with backlight that makes typing real easy... on the basis of my discussion i would like to conclude that although the price of this handset is bit hight but belive me IT's WORTH IT...
Advantages: Full Keyboad, HiRes screen, Actually fits into a normal pocket Disadvantages: Noit the most microscopic phone
This mobile phone has now been superseded by a new model which means that this ecxcelent model may now be very affordable. It’s not as fast as an Iphone but it has far fewer restrictions . The Touch Flo GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a little slow sometimes but still very usable. Like most high end models it has well functioning WiFi (Wireless Internet) These days Wireless internet is available without cost in many places. Now I can use it without ... ...heavier than most but it does contain a high quality QUERTY keyboard that is very easy to use. The E-mail system is easy to set up and the Text Messaging system is excellent, unlike the Iphone it supports Flash which is commonly used on Web pages. The YouTube application is also excellent due to the high resolution display which is also touch sensitive to both fingers and the supplied wand. My favorite applications are the “Outlook” calendar and ...

... HTCTouchPro 2
It wasn't all too long ago that I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of HTC's first TouchPro handset, but when I did get my hands on it I was a little disappointed. I obviously wasn't the only one as I now have in my hand the new version, the HTCTouchPro2. Even with its improved software and a very nicely designed tilt screen, I still needed to be convinced this was a serious alternative to competitive Smartphone's like the iPhone 3GS, Nokia N97 and the host of available BlackBerry's.
Design and Features
There is no denying that the new Pro2 is a very visually appealing handset, the 3.6 inch touchscreen allows for a 480x800 widescreen VGA resolution, using a customised version of the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Although it is very 'business' like in appearance, its metal and black...

... Intro
Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTCTouchPro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97.
Buying The Phone
After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...

.... However, it's not enough to match a competitor feature for feature anymore. You have to provide quality hardware and a good user experience, and sadly, the N97 falls a bit short in those departments with an inferior resistive touch screen and clunky user interface. The steep $700 price tag doesn't help either. While the Nokia N97 might appeal to Symbian and N series loyalists, it faces a steep uphill battle against the aforementioned touch-screen smartphones.
Design
From a design standpoint, the Nokia N97 isn't exactly a showstopper. It doesn't quite have the wow factor of the distinctive Palm Pre and like the T-Mobile G1 and HTCTouchPro2, the N97 is a bit of a handful at 4.6 inches tall by 2.1 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick and 5.29 ounces. It doesn't quite have the high-quality build of the Nokia E series and we're a bit weary of the flimsy...

At the heart of the Touch Pro is essentially the HTC Diamond with a slide-out five row QWERTY keyboard. The Touch Pro targets power user requiring a physical keyboard for easier text entry in case the virtual keyboard is too difficult to use.
