HTC Touch Pro2

Reviewer: CNET
29 June 2009

Overall 8

Truth be told, standard features such connectivity options and screen size can be tweaked only marginally because the HTC Touch Pro was already very feature-packed. HTC did well in improving the user interface and adding the unique conference call feature in the Pro2. However, in doing so, the company did make the device much larger and heavier than is comfortable for most users, and that clearly marks it as something for a niche audience. If you can live without a... Read more

The T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 has been a fairly popular phone that performs really well and has a large touch screen, a QWERTY keyboard, and multimedia features. The new Sprint version of the Touch Pro2 offers other features, including a headphone jack and updated software. The size of the HTC Touch Pro2 from Sprint is exactly the same as the T-Mobile version, measuring 2.3 x 4.6 x 0.7-inches (whd) and weighs just over 6 ounces.

I bought mine to use for tethering, and I connect at 15mbps. I also, added a wireless router to speed up. I also, added skyfire as my default web browser, so I can go to my netflex acc. and add to my movies and, if I want I can even do instant play, and watch movies. One more plus, is I connect to my dvd recorder through bluetooth and can save and keep the movie on disc, or sdcard. I have not yet found a downside. Read more

I'm admittedly very picky about my phones...I've tried quite a few of Verizon's/AT&T's Windows mobile devices over the past several years, and there always seemed to be SOMEthing that made the phones intolerable (constant crashes, slowness, random shutting off, poor sound quality, slide phones that would slide too easily & disconnect calls, no wired jack, etc. etc.) This one, I'm happy to say FINALLY comes through on ALMOST everything!

I absolutely love this phone and was super-excited to have my hands on it since I saw the online preview from GSMA Barcelona. I like physical QWERTY keyboards as this is my work + personal device and I need it to manage multiple (and usually heavy) messaging, calls and documents daily. Personally, I like the fact of the abundance of freewares developed for WinMo for other apps like FB, Twitter, WorldCard, RSS readers, etc. I think HTC did a good job with their TouchFlo... Read more

My HTC touch pro 2 has just turned up today! I must admit I am really pleased with it so far. Windows 6.5 is a major step forward in terms of usability from 6.1 and this device when WinMo 7 is released I am sure will be up there with the iPhone, with the added bonus of being far more suited to business-style work. Windows marketplace has all the applications I wanted - most of them straight reproductions from the Iphone which is great. These can be added straight from... Read more
