    HTC applies lessons from the flawed Touch Pro to the finely polished Touch Pro2. We loved the original HTC Touch Pro. Or wanted to, anyway. Though HTC wowed us with distinct styling, a snappy keyboard, and a downright luscious screen, we could never quite get past how clunky the slow the TouchFlo 3D interface felt pasted over Windows Mobile 6.1. At the end of the day, we just couldn’t recommend it. Read more

    • Gigantic, extra-sharp display; outstanding call quality; solid build quality; decent accessory pack; dressed-up interface
    • Exceptionally weak camera; clumsy resistive touch screen; dry design

    The HTC Touch Pro2 is one of our favorite business phones, and it's definitely the best Windows Mobile phone money can buy. But not necessarily this HTC Touch Pro2. Something has been lost in the translation to Sprint's fast EV-DO Rev. A network with our review unit, and that something is reliability and responsiveness. The Sprint Touch Pro2 that we tested was a mess of buggy software, sluggish menus and unresponsive interface. Read more

    • Best keyboard on a business smartphone. Excellent call features and call quality. Lots of extras for sports fans.
    • Lagging performance and bugs all around. Camera disappointing. Resistive touchscreen still imperfect while scrolling.

    The Touch Pro2 doesn't offer the same built-in customization options as an Android powered phone but this shouldn't be a problem for power users. In fact, it may be a benefit since you can download custom ROMs and other tweaks for the phone (at your own risk, of course). Combine this customization with the slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a tilt display, and you'll have a very likeable product, especially for those that like to fully customize their smartphones.

    • QWERTY keyboard, Availability of tweaked ROMs, Sharp, spacious touchscreen, Excellent call quality, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, HTC Sense
    • Not as speedy as some of today's latest phones, Larger form factor than some of today's phones, So-so camera

    HTC used to equip their top range smart phones with wide, side sliding, full QWERTY keyboards that seem to have been largely successful, since the first, fifth generation device with the same form factor, the , has just been released. Unlike its predecessor, it´s larger rather than smaller and brings the round-shape design back into the game, chucking the edgy form all latest handsets of the same manufacturer stake on. Read more

    The touch screen is good, inbuilt apps are very useful, conference calls and speaker are very clear. The OS is very slow and hangs very often. It takes long time to close apps. Buy only for a good deal. The phone is not worth for the retail price. Read more

    • Attractive Design, Brilliant Display, QWERTY Keypad

    Seems to be a great phone and PDA And mini email web browser in a pocket. Slide out key board, great for low vision people. Not the fastest thing but fun, has MicroSD card slot, (no cards), up to 32gb. Strange USB 2 connector, and no on board headphone jack with out converter. USB Headphone jack only.

    I bought an unlocked Touch Pro2 in Singapore in June 2009 after using a Dopod 838Pro for a few years and haven't looked back since (its now December 2011). I'm not a big Apple user outside my iPod and iPad, and my company is on MS Exchange and this phone still works great, syncing with the MS Exchange server and then with my computer at home so all of my calendar, contacts, e-mails, etc. are synced (and backed-up) across three separate platforms.

    • Clean design and solid construction Work & personal e-mail accounts sync flawlessly Customizeable homescreen A/V plug-in works great so I can show the screen from my p...
    • Weak battery life (I've gone through 4 or 5 batteries in 2.5 years); 2009 technology didn't have pinch-to-zoom (would be nice); Poor pictures & video in low light

    If you're with Sprint, like us, you might as well go for the Evo or Galaxy S (My mom and I have). It's the same price, if not only like 50 bucks more. Read more
