There are tons of reviews out there that do a better and more thorough job than I could! I just read Mighty Mike's
review if that helps.
My $0.02?
- It's a solid, well built device that feels great in the hand. A little heavy, but it just feels perfect in your hand anyway. The curved / rounded corners and back make it seem less of a brick than the Touch Pro (TP from here on in) used to. That device was so square on the corners!
- The screen is incredible...bright, large, and clear
- The keyboard is absolutely fantastic...far better than the TP. Much more space between the keys. I had endless typos on the TP and often found myself using the SIP instead
- No lag when sliding kbd in / out
- Nice to have a 3.5mm headphone jack finally!
- Audio quality and loudness seem just fine
- I like the ever-so-slightly-raised volume buttons. I found the-almost-flush ones on the TP a PITA! Same for the power button
- Not using TF3D but the Start Menu link to the Programs was a nice touch when I first tried it. I use SPB MobileShell 3.0 and compared to the Touch Pro the extra real estate is a real bonus
- Battery life seems fine, but it really is too early to tell. I've only had it since yesterday and I'm on vacation right now anyway
- Loving the tilt feature. Didn't really give it much thought until I started using the device in landscape. Feels great in your hands...really helps keep it balanced
- Camera seems okay, but never been a fan of phone camera's...I don't buy a phone for it's camera features...I'm an amateur photographer....enough said
- Thought I'd miss the d-pad but I think it's just something you have to get used to. I find I'm using this in landscape more than I ever used to use my TP anyway
- Screen seems way more responsive than the TP
- Definitely seems faster than the TP. No issues with memory. It's snappy
- No issues with GPS locking like some others seem to be saying
- Extra stylus length is nice
Seems like HTC have really done their homework with this device. Hats off to them for this one!
Hope this helps!
EDIT # 1: The zoom finger slider just above the hard buttons is a nice touch too. Zoom in and out in Opera, e-mail messages, etc. (Just got around to trying this out!)
EDIT2: Here is a link to an update I compiled now that I'm 3 weeks into using my TP2.
