Review - The HTC Touch Pro 2

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...

...INTRO In this review I am going to break down the phone into small bits to make it nice and easy to find what you need to know from my experience with the HTC Touch Pro 2. If you have any questions about the product don't hesitate to ask! THE LOOK Let?s start with the form. With its very unique form of a sliding and tilting screen with full offset qwerty keyboard. This makes the phone a very much style conscious phone and of course who isn?t going to double take when they see this miniature laptop sitting in your palm. With its very CEO like presence which makes it one of the most imposing phones on the market. This is helped with a chrome bezel that runs round the periphery of the phone which is a very nice touch.
