Re: Sprint Touch Pro 2. Horrible back cover.

thanks for the venting holes sprint. it will funtion great for venting heat. i hope the diamond2 also has venting holes in it too. i have been thinking about drilling holes on my diamond to help it cool down. love the tp2, but i think it will be too big for me. hopefull the diamond2 size is still small enough to put in my pants pocket.

Re: Sprint Touch Pro 2. Horrible back cover.

I believe the holes are for audio purposes. HTC is incorporating a feature called Straight Talk™ which is said to make the phone a professional quality spearker phone, great for conference calls. It is incorporated by two sets of speakers and two mics. This is activated by placing the phone face down. The button I believe may not be a button at all but is actually a picture just stating where the second mic is which is used to be a noise cancelling mic or is a button to simply mute/unmute your mic, again useful when using it for a conference call. Here is a link and quote from the world wide version of the device from the HTC site, but I am sure most of the features will be the same for the Sprint version. (My personal preference is that it looks ok if it functions the way it is said to function.)

Straight Talk™

"HTC’s Straight Talk makes communication more natural, intuitive and effective. It is a way to seamlessly transit from email to a single or multi-party calls as well as a flawless means to complete conference bridge calls. The innovation is completed by dual microphone and speakers that turn your mobile into a professional quality speakerphone by the simple action of placing your phone face down on the table."

anyway, what is that little thing where the flash should be? is that the spkr? or a spkr button?

That button is the mute button for when you're in speakerphone mode.

Also, it's not venting holes!
It's the speaker phone speakers.

HTC touch pro2 GSM vs Sprint (Poll)

Why must a carrier alter the appearance of the phone...

the gsm version of the touch pro2 is so sleek and professional... then sprint gets a hold of it and makes it all black and orange...

its not so much that they changed out the chrome with black... being that they had trble with the chrome on the TP ... its the orange that kills me...

the back cover just annoys me on why sprint changed that...
