Review - The HTC Touch Pro 2

Advantages: well designed, good touchscreen, good QWERTY keypad, improved sofware, good widescreen display
Disadvantages: Expensive, no spec bump, no flash module, heavy

... HTC Touch Pro 2 It wasn't all too long ago that I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of HTC's first Touch Pro 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 HTC Touch Pro2. 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...

Review of HTC Touch Pro 2

HTC Touch

Advantages: Customizable, Great video, User-Friendly
Disadvantages: Weak Battery, Faulty software

...The HTC Touch is a reliable mobile phone with many perks and downfalls, which would depend mostly on your familiarity with electronics.. The phone uses Windows Mobile 6 software which is a very customizable software which can allow you to add programs, games, software which you may want or need. the downfall to this is it requires being able to find the files and programs which you need that can then all be loaded to your phone via ActiveSync software which comes with the phone when purchased.. the phone is great for calls, texting, mobile internet browsing, video Players, pictures and video recording. The downfall to the HTC Touch is that it can from time to time run very slowly..its pricy for the issues that it may have down the road, without frequent updates the software on the phone may become slow and problems with the phone...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch

Advantages: Pretty easy to use because of a plugin
Disadvantages: Little sluggish just like a WM6 pro device

...I have been using an HTC Touch myself for about more than five months now. It comes in two variants, one which has 64mb ram and other which has 128mb. The more the ram, faster the device is. Till date, the product hasn't given me any problems. The ease of use of this phone is just too fantastic and has an especially a fantastic plugin called the 3d Touch cube. This cube helps in navigating through the vip contacts stored on one page then on to multimedia, consisting of photos, music and videos {on one page}. Then comes the system management , consisting of E-mail, sms, IE, tasks, Communication manager and then calendar on one page. Total of three faces of the 3d cube, which help in controlling almost whole of the phone. The camera being 2mp is exceptionally sharp. The HTC home plugin provided makes the phone pretty easy to use...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch

Advantages: Thin Form factor, Software customizability, PDA features, Windows compatibilty
Disadvantages: No GPS, 3G and hardware keyboard

...The HTC Touch is a decent PDA (Windows Mobile 6) powered smartphone, which is particularly great due to its thin form factor and light weight. The HTC Touch is mainly touch operated and proposes a 'revolutionary' Touch Flo interface. The strength of the touch is that interface and applciations can be completely customised through some tweaking available at xdadevelopers.com, and in fact mine Touch is mainly now finger touch operated, making the stlyus mainly reduntant. The Touch however is slightly underpowered (you will notice this underpower when using some power hungry apps such as opening a picture hungry webpage), has no GPS and no 3G connectivity. The touch is recommended for those which are on a tight budget, require a good pda and a decent phone but not the ultimate technology. I am very satisfied with it and would...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch - The Real iPhone Killer?

Advantages: Good music and call clarity. Infinite Upgrade Possibilities.
Disadvantages: Texting can be slow and cumbersome.Slow to boot.

...Great little phone. Light and easy to use if you have meduium size hands. I upgraded and this was my first Touch Screen flow. The TouchFlo can be tempermental but does work a treat. Being a Wndows device there are 1000's of 3rd party applications that make this a great phone for the gadget geek. Worth every penny and a very strong competitor to the iPhone (Which I also own). In comparison to the iPhone the HTC is slow to boot but easier to upgrade and somewhat easier to use. Texting is a nightmare without the stylus or small fingers. Music quality is good from the included ear phones and call clarity is fantastic even on crowded buses and trains. The overall design of the HTC is more compact that the iPhone and the included case allows for much easier transportation. The bulkier iPhone can be a nighmare in a shirt pocket. I have...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch Pro The First Real Windows Mobile Phone/PDA/Radio Combo

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 carting my laptop around ï? . The phone is somewhat 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...

Review of HTC Touch Pro

HTC Touch Diamond

Advantages: Stylish, Lots of Programs
Disadvantages: Very Slow

...amazing. Especially the weather effects. It something you couldn't have got years ago on a phone. The problem is, there are a few catches to this, which I will mention later in the review. The User interface is well laid out, if not a bit too packed for a touch screen phone.The stylus helps massively here, and its something I have experianced in a phone before. #three The appearence of the phone is probably the thing that most attracted me to it in the first place. Its sleak and stylish and also quite thin, and I love the effect on the back of the phone. I feel the buttons on the front are fairly useless, but I'm sure their are reason for them, I just can't find them. Now to the bad points. The phone Is very slow, and like I said before, this could be because mine needs updating. It takes quite a long time navigate through the interface...

Review of HTC Touch Diamond

iPhone beware!

Advantages: Brilliant, fast internet use
Disadvantages: No flash on camera, apart from that there aren't any

...Before purchasing this phone I had the Samsung Tocco, although I really liked the Tocco I had grown tired of it as I do with most phones after having them around 6 months! I went into a few phone shops & at first I was considering getting either the Samsung Omnia, the LG Renoir or the iPhone 3G. I asked about these phones in quite a few shops & I was recommended not to get them, instead I was recommended the HTC Touch HD phone. To begin with I was sceptical as I mainly go for brands that I know which would be Samsung, I?ve had many Samsungs before & have been extremely pleased with them. I had heard of HTC before but wasn?t overly familiar with them, the only HTC phone I had seen was the Diamond which I must admit I didn?t & still don?t like at all. However I thought I?ve got nothing to lose in looking so they got the phone out...

Review of HTC Touch HD

HTC Touch Review

Advantages: touch screen, stylish, lots on it, memory
Disadvantages: hard to txt a lot,

...I got the HTC touch as an upgrade, recommended to me by the man who sorted out my upgrade, i was very impressed when i first recieved it, nice packaging and well presented. After a few problems upgrading i turned the phone on,. Took a while at first but worth waiting for, very easy to use with lots of things to do on it. The tough flo is great when on the move like on the bus or train. Just a quick movement up the screen with your thumb bringsyou to your music, videos and the internet as well as many other options. Nice and styleish, fits nice in your hand with the stylus tooked away in the top. The cam is not the best and its quite hard to txt if your in a hurry and you always need to use the stylus, but that being the only downside, i do like the phone, easy to use with wireless connection,games, 2.0mg cam,microsoft word and windows...

Review of HTC Touch

HTC Touch - nice but...

Advantages: neat, compact, powerful
Disadvantages: touch screen

...Having bought tow HTC touch phones to run some software - how would I comment...? They're all right, they do the job (most of the time). If you're a fan of the craze of smaller is better - yes they're compact, near and feel brilliant in you hand, but don't lose the stylus (or the spare one...) or if you do you'll have to find someone with childlike fingers with just enough fingernail to do the job adaquately. The screen can sometimes be unresponsive and not the quickest at times; if you tap wrong then you end up opening up a whole host of other programmes you both didn't want and didn't realise you'd pressed. Although they do have a nice little feature of a whole screen drag which you can use your finger to grab the screen and scroll down rather than use the scroll menu. Outside the screen and menus can be difficult to see making...
