HTC Touch Pro: First Look Review
Customer Reviews
 Better than the iPhone for work? Let me count the ways! |
| Review Date: July 11, 2009 |

| 1. MicroSD slot means you have virtually unlimited space for files, and it is trivial to exchange files with any computer, not just one on which you have installed a files app.
2. Speed and multitasking means you can do things like listen to music, edit documents and send emails simultaneously and at the same time. 3. Superb Office document management capabilities. 'Nuff said. 4. Higher-res screen means documents like Excel spreadsheets are much more practical, but even Word or PDF files are much more readable and easier on the eyes. 5. Windows home page (I turned off FLO) means you can see all tasks, calendar, to-dos, etc. on one home page 6. Citrix client compatibility meant for me I could control my office desktop from my phone. 7. Ah, that lovely keyboard. Besides being surer and faster, when you pull it out to type, you can still see the entire screen for surfing. This provides a much larger effective screen for anything which involves text. Downside: Can't make it iFart I've owned both. I changed carriers and currently have an iPhone. |
| Load a custom rom and its PERFECT!!! NO PROBLEMS!!! |

| i am a power user, i need the power that WM provides. and i need a keyboard that lets me type VERY fast as emails are ALWAYS coming in to me daily..
This phone when it arrived had battery issues...the battery would only last about 3 hours of constant use (surfing the web uploading and downloading videos, emailing....constantly) But i had heard that more improved roms for this were available prior to buying this phone. unlocked the phone with a software called "HSPL" and then loaded on a custom rom SSK 1.5 this phone is now INCREDIBLE with Windows mobile 6.5! battery life lasts all day! dont fall for the 1 star reviews of this thing, its simply an easily corrected software situation. just do a search on google for "Verizon SSK 1.5 rom" and you will see how easy it is to re-flash your device and make it something that no other phone is right now. ALSO the Samsung Omnia scored higher than this phone and since i own both i can honestly say that the accelorometer on this phone is actually faster than the omnia. Also the Omnia seemed sluggish to open programs compared to the HTC touch pro. I guess it all has to do with the rom The touch screen sensitivity is very good for a resistive screen..and seems more precise than the Omnia. bottom line, anyone judging this phone based on the stock rom are fools. that would be like judging the I7 when running Window95 on it... get my point? |

| Superb business oriented Windows Mobile smart phone.
The HTC Touch Pro 2 is offered by all the major US carriers at this time. Some like Sprint have retained its international features so you can use CDMA and international protocols. I've been using cellular phones since the Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS)was introduced in 1983. With the enhancements provided by HTC atop Microsoft Windows Mobile v6.1, the Touch Pro 2 is an absolute delight for the businessperson. With one glaring exception, it can be used as a substitute for a laptop computer in many circumstances. The exception is the lack of mouse support in the Qualcomm Bluetooth stack. Bluetooth keyboards work fine, but mouse functions are not supported. In my eyes, this represents a major oversight which I hope will be rectified in future ROM revisions. Aside from that, the HTC Touch Pro 2 represents the state of the art in smart phones. It has a gorgeous 3.6-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 480 X 800 WVGA resolution. The screen also tilts which makes airline tray or restaurant table movie watching, RSS feed reading and (where possible) web browsing a pleasure. It also makes working on business documents in Microsoft Mobile Office, DataViz or SoftMaker products a pleasure. There is a five-row, slide-out QWERTY keyboard that is the best I've ever had on a cell phone. While you can't touch type, you can do a pretty good job of two finger pecking. Some carriers, again like Sprint, offer the HTC Touch Pro 2 with a standard 3.5mm audio jack. What a pleasure to finally just be able to plug in a pair of ordinary headphones!The HTC Touch Pro 2 accepts microSDHC cards up to 16 GB. (I presume 32 GB is also supported.) You can put plenty of music and video on the card, have great audio and a truly luscious screen. I am really amazed at just how well movies look on that screen. You'll be best served with a third party media viewer like the CorePlayer. The design is very finger-friendly. Some functions, such as browsing with the included Opera browser are adapted to finger swipes for navigating on and between pages and sites. My personal preference, however, remains the stylus. The onscreen keyboard is the best I've ever worked on and works especially well with fingertips. You don't have to be dead-on to type a character. The logic does a very good job of figuring out what character you intended to strike. The CPU is the same Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 MHz used in the Touch Pro and other HTC cell phones. It gets the job done, but it is not the fastest processor on the block. The allotment of 512 MB ROM and 288 MB RAM is reasonably generous, but like money, you can never have enough. The Touch Pro 2 measures 4.57 X 2.33 X 0.66 inches and weighs 6.3 ounces. I carry it in a shirt pocket and don't find the size or weight to be a problem. Bluetooth and WiFi work just fine on this unit. Some carriers, again Sprint is an example, keep the GPS enabled. While Sprint has an optional paid navigation program, I use my Touch Pro 2 GPS with Google Maps and Microsoft Bing. I no longer use a separate GPS unit this is all I need. Output volume is excellent and there is a novel conference phone feature built in. Put the unit on its face and the back microphones are started. Fidelity and noise cancellation are pretty good. It is a nice feature for those who use it. The 3.2 megapixel camera is nothing spectacular. There are no hardware buttons for the camera and it is both slower and more inconvenient to use than one triggered by a hardware button. There is TV output through an optional cable and a bunch of other features that some may find useful. A 1500 mAh battery is standard and it will last through a day of strenuous usage. But overall, plan on charging this unit every day or two if you make much use of it. Buying a second battery or an external battery is a wise idea. Overall, I have found performance to be excellent in every regard. Teamed with a Bluetooth keyboard, I can often leave my laptop at home. Web browsing is a delight with Opera, Skyfire or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Memory problems have been non-existent for me no matter how many applications I've launched. (I do continue the well established habit of invoking the Task Manager from time to time.) The reset button is under the back cover which is, in my opinion, a design error - but I haven't had to use it much. When I need it, though, it is something of a pain. You have to remove the stylus first, then the back cover. It is not a pleasant task under any circumstance, especially when the lighting is low. Do I like the HTC Touch Pro 2? You bet. I think it is the best smart phone I've ever used. It gets closer to the grail of the highly portable computer that has been envisioned since the 1970s. Yes, the pipeline is already filling with devices running the much faster AMD Snapdragon processor. HTC is about to launch a unit with Snapdragon and a 4.3 inch screen. I suspect that the next model of the Touch Pro will be launching little more than a year from now and I suspect I will be straining on my leash to get one. In the meantime, the HTC Touch Pro 2 is a dream to work with. If they fix the Bluetooth stack to work with a mouse or if a third party follows through with its promise to release a replacement stack, the HTC Touch Pro 2 will truly be a hand-sized laptop replacement. It is quite the marvel and a delight to use. Jerry |
