Re: Any thoughts on the Pro from former Vogue (original Touch) users?

I have both of them. Right now. My old Vogue is no longer active (was my primary phone used all the time).

One thing I miss is the thinner size and lighter weight. It practically disappeared on a belt clipped carry case. Funny thing though, is the Touch Pro feels so much better in the hand. It's not as wide as the Vogue, and the added thickness (not that much really) and curved back makes it feel really comfortable in the hand. It actually feels a lot more like a phone.

But other than that, the Touch Pro is such a improvement in many ways. The screen quality is no contest. The main reason for me wanting the Touch Pro over the Diamond was because I wanted a physical keyboard. I went from the Apache 6700 to the Titan 6800 Mogul to the Vogue 6900 Touch. So I've always has physical keyboard pocket PC's before. I tried many different SIP's like Touch Pal, etc, but it was still annoying to enter text.

So, the Touch Pro marks my return to a silder keyboard pocket PC.

One thing the Vogue has over the Touch Pro, is stability. The Vogue was much more stable out of the box at launch vs. the Touch Pro. Granted, it's not as bad as the Mogul was when it first came out, but the Vogue was nearly perfect for me.

That said I guess someone coming from a Mogul that got it when it first came out will not mind the bugs nearly as much. But coming from the Vogue will be harder in that aspect. One thing coming from the Vogue that you won't mind with the Touch Pro is battery life. I always carried a spare battery (two in fact), and it's the same with the Touch Pro. They're pretty comparable in terms of battery life now.

Hope that helps you decide.
