HTC Touch Pro

HTC Touch Pro *****
(Is this the Diamond killer?)
Essentially all this phone is doing is ironing out what problems the Diamond had and improving them. On the face it looks similar, but you would have no trouble telling them apart, especially when that QWERTY keyboard slides itself out, causing shock and confusion, well only for a second anyway.
The Touch Pro comes in more bulkier than than the Diamond. Well there's the QWERTY keyboard of course, makes it thicker and contributes to the overall weight too. The keyboard operates ok, but fat fingers may struggle, my advice as with any phone, is to try before you buy.
It's TouchFLO UI isn't really up to scratch either, something which Apple can only seem to master at the moment. But times will change, hopefully. Windows Mobile powered, includes an Opera browser, HSDPA, Wi-Fi. Your not now restricted to 4GB memory, a microSD card slot is now included. And the 3.2 megapixel snapper with LED is an improvement on the HTC Touch Diamond's.
Overall a great smartphone contender, much improved from the last HTC, but issues are still there, and the UI could be better.
