HTC Touch Pro2 (Unlocked)

I've been anticipating this phone ever since it was announced on the official HTC website. A few days ago, I finally got the phone and I've got to say that it's amazing. The build quality is superb and while many would find that the weight is a turn-off, it actually emphasizes the business feel and the expensive-ness to it. The keyboard and speakerphone are what makes the phone stand out. Ranked as the best Windows Mobile phone keyboard, it has potential and ergonomics for anyone! I would recommend anyone who is working as a techie or whoever likes to modify their phone with customizations because it has the hardware specs to support it.

Disliked lack of communication, and never received tracking number, nor the product paid for. Had to resort to Ebay resolution Center to get money back.
i love the item and did 3 weeks of research and bidding on it.

Its a phone that i personally consider an iphone killer, a phone thats has an elegant touch and a majestic look. It will steal the attraction from many eyes and it will empower its presence around

The HTC Touch Pro2 is one of the best devices that HTC has come out with to date. It features multiasking ability along with customization that is possible beyond the means of simply what windows mobile offers. This makes it a more complete device than an iPhone or Android device even though windows mobile may not be as graphically pleasing it still gets the job done better than other mobile operating systems in many ways. The screen is very responsive to touch and the slide out keypad makes it even easier to use. I would recommend this phone for any power users who really want to unlock the full potential of their mobile device.

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. But with a company as prolific as HTC, you seldom have to wait long for a better version. With the second go around on the Touch Pro2, HTC has attentively resolved many of the most annoying issues with the first phone, delivering one of the most livable Windows Mobile 6.1 handsets to date.

HTC Touch Pro2Features and Design

The original HTC Touch Pro derived much of its appeal from its unique styling, and while the company has kept built quality high for the Pro2, much of the edginess we saw in the first version has melted away. The rigid, crystaline lines that gave the jet-black Pro such a unique look have given way to a softened, matte-brown back, and the almost-sharp corners now wrap around in smooth curves. It’s a matter of taste no doubt, but in our opinion, carrying one of these phones no longer counts as a much of a fashion statement, and it could be confused with just about any other generic touchscreen phone.

That is, of course, before you turn it on. The HTC Touch Pro2 sports an enormous 3.6-inch LCD screen, which is not only bigger than the original’s, it’s bigger than the iPhone’s, and has more resolution, too. A full 800 by 480 pixels packed into its confines gives it dot pitch unmatched by nearly any other device out there. Unfortunately, HTC has shunned the responsive capacitive touch technology used on the G1 and its other Android-based phones, instead opting for a cludgier feeling resistive model.

The screen sits flush in a dark, mirror-like front bezel that runs from edge to edge. The only buttons found below the screens are the typical send and end call buttons, home, and back. Though they’re easy to press, the tiny size of the icons makes it difficult to see which is which before memorizing them. Like most phones, you’ll find a power button up top, a volume rocker on the left, and a mini USB jack below. Unfortunately, HTC continues to take the Samsung route in using a USB-based adapter in place of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, which makes a miserable start for a music player. It’s also missing a dedicated camera button, though the easy-to-access microSD slot on the left makes up for it a bit (some companies hide them inconveniently below the battery). HTC has also added a touch-sensitive strip below the screen exclusively for controlling zoom, and an anachronistic stylus tucked away in the bottom right corner for Windows Mobile die hards still reminiscieing about the days of the Pocket PC.

HTC Touch Pro2A full QWERTY keyboard remains a hallmark of the business-targeted Touch Pro2. Sliding away the screen reveals a particularly spacious four-row keyboard with hard keys raised above a dished-out area. We found it easy to tap out Web addresses, text messages and even lengthy e-mails with it, and especially liked the way the screen tilts up roughly 45 degrees, making it much easier to view as you type at waist level.

The price for all the extra amenities: size and weight. The Touch Pro2 measures a pretty standard 4.57 inches tall and 2.33 inches wide, but feels quite chunky at 0.66 inches thick. An almost unheard of weight of 178.5 grams doesn’t help matters, but it does lend it a solid feeling tha

I love this phone
thank you very much!! bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

IS THE BEST OF THE BEST THANKS YOU I bought the NewPhone HTC Touch Pro2 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone
