Touch Pro 2 reviewed.
 
A pretty good unboxing and short review.

Seems like a pretty decent device.

Pretty good video, I guess that seals it for me. I will be getting one when it comes out for sure.

I like it! Now all I need are the stocks and calendar tabs from TF3D2 for my Touch Pro. :D

Great video! Can't wait till this thing drops.... Only thing I didn't like was the fact that the stylus is no longer magnetic..guess you really don't need one if you are sportin a 3.6 WVGA ;-)

Might as well watch the real review and not the unboxing ;)

I'm not impressed by the Touch Pro 2, but to each his own.

True that. Palm's version of the iphone basically.
Overhyped hunk a junk. :D

I do want some features like you said too,
but I'm sure eventually we'll get them too and they'll be better. :D

Yea I'm not going to say I don't have my gripes with the Touch Pro. I'm just going to skip the TP2. Not enough of an upgrade for me, among other things.

I like it but it is just so dang thick! My contract is up in August and this appears to be the replacement for my Diamond as I am not giving up my SERO for a Pre.

Here is another review... It is very detailed... Overall they rated it as the following

Overall Rating:
http://www.pocketnow.com/html/cache/...ting_4half.jpg

The Good
Top-notch build quality

Best in class keyboard

The tilting screen is back!


The Bad
Battery life could be better

Screen doesn't tilt as much as TyTN II

No flash on camera makes for poor low light shots

Holy smokes Bat Man... They showed the RAM being around 50 megs less (on boot) than the current Touch Pro (using the numbers they showed for the TP2 and TP). Less RAM is def. not a good idea :|

BigDiesel07 06-01-2009 07:33 PM

Re: Touch Pro 2 reviewed.
 
Frazell.. Good observation and one they made in the review.. It could be due to running a landscape version of Touch Flo 3D, the integration of all the contact info, etc.. Obviously the Touch Pro2 is running more background code then the original Touch Pro..

Yea. This makes me feel even more that HTC should have bumped up the RAM on the Touch Pro 2. It might return us to the days of having to close stuff due to low memory if we leave TF3D running :|.

70megs to me just doesn't look like a lot at all :(.

True.. Very true.. But time will tell.. Until we have the device in our hands we will not know.. :)

You have to remember, that's a stock rom also.
Stock roms suck.
Plain and simple. they're horrible and no good.
Get a custom rom on there, and I'm pretty d*mn sure it will kill the touch pro in performance and look better doing it. haha.

I'm getting tired of seeing all the palm pre posting on pocket pc phone websites. They have their own, go post there. haha.
I mean it's like posting about unlocking the vogue in a diamond forum.
:D

I remember owning a mogul... 64mb of ram... I see 70+MB free as a good thing...

You youngins are too picky! lol :)

Can't wait to get one on ATT, And if that means ordering a UK version, So be it... I can live without 3g to get one...

How much RAM did the old StarTac have? Or better yet, the old Motorola flip phones?! Bag phone anyone?

I'm in the same boat. Other then a bigger screen, I can't really see a reason for me to get this.

It's not like when I upgraded from the Mogul to the TP last Nov...
Does anyone else feel like Sprint might not get a big bang for their buck on what seems like an incremental upgrade?

Re: Touch Pro 2 reviewed.
 
Thanks for the post! Great review, and the HD was a nice touch. I am convinced and will be getting one as soon as I can. The biggest selling points for me from this video are:

1) Improved build quality (big deal to me!)
2) Larger screen
3) Tilting screen
4) More responsive screen
5) Much improved keyboard- I find the current one to be a bit tight. It was easier to type on the Mogul.
6) Damn its sexy!

BigDiesel07 06-04-2009 02:19 AM

Re: Touch Pro 2 reviewed.
 
Good points mlin for reasons why to upgrade.. But until I get a Sprint Touch Pro2 in my hands, judgement of how worthy it is to upgrade will have to wait :) At least for me...

I couldn't agree more. I was just about to edit my post to say the same thing.
