D/\SH'S HTC Touch Pro Review (OFFICIAL*)

[D/\SH]

Alright as many of you already know i got my hands on the HTC Touch Pro A little bit earlier than the rest. I thought that after a little more of a week of handling it I should write up a review for my fellow junkies to read and drool over. So without further wait here is the OFFICIAL AMJ ONLY REVIEW!!!! (thats right we are the only ones out there that have a review on this!!!!)

SCREEN AND CLARITY
the screen on the HTC Touch Pro is VGA (480X640) and is crystal clear. The dark colors are deep and vibrant while the light colors are very easy on the eyes and translucent. The screen on the phone is very impressive, it is very responsive to the touch and doesn't take much pressure when pressing on the screen. I also noticed that the screen is still easily readable in the direct sunlight like while driving or even at the beach. I feel that this is the best screen that we have seen on a HTC device in America. The only flaw on the screen that i saw was that the material it was made up of is very suseptable to fingerprints.

OVERALL RATING

9.5/10


TOUCHFLO 3D

The TouchFLO 3D interface is very responsive and doesn't take much pressure to cycle through the tabs on the bottom of the screen. (not quite as good as the iphones but getting way better) It's very responsive and doesnt lag even when multiple programs are open and running in the background.

OVERALL RATING

10/10

KEYBOARD
The Slideout QWERTY keyboard is very nice and stable and feels more secure and solid thus the moguls. It's very responsive and no matter how fast i typed it wouldnt lag or even think about getting behind.

OVERALL RATING


10/10


SPEAKER SOUND

Lets not lie to ourselves and say that the sound and speaker quality on past phones like the HTC Mogul and the HTC Touch weren't quite up to par. On the HTC Touch Pro the speaker quality actually blew me away. The clarity of the ringtones is amazing! Not only were the ringtones nice and crisp, the music playback through the headset and speaker was amazing. I actually found myself reaching down expecting my ipod to be in my pocket. This is the most impressive part of the phone.

OVERALL RATING

10/10

Video Quality

With the beautiful VGA screen i had to watch a couple movies to see what they looked like. (Thanks smassele) I opened my media player and to my surprise the picture is awesome and looks like the video is coming from the blu-ray player. The movements are precise and non laggy thanks to the Qualcomm® MSM7201A™ 528 MHz processor. I also tested video playback from the built in recorder and that was just amazing as well. ( will be covered more below)

OVERALL RATING

9.0/10

CAMERA AND CAMCORDER

The HTC Touch Pro's 3.2 MegaPixel camera and camcorder is absolutely amazing. We are all used to having 2.0 MegaPixel cameras in our American Phones and now will never look back. This camera not only has great resolution for your stills and motions, but it also has auto-focus which believe it or not made a huge difference to the pictures that i used to take with my Vogue and my Mogul. But Sprint, would it really hurt to give us at least a 5 MegaPixel camera to go along with this nice phone?

OVERALL RATING

8.5/10

REV A AND GPS

The REV A internet is similar to that of the Mogul and the Touch. (The only difference i noticed was the browsing was a little faster. (but that could be because of newer radio and firmware.) For the GPS, the Touch Pro doesn't come with TOMTOM 7 like the GSM version already has. Sprint did their own thing and butchered the phone again so the customers have to pay for SprintNav. Don't get me wrong i like SprintNav but why give for free with GSM and not to us CDMA parties? SprintNav went through some graphical changes in this version but nothing too drastic to mention.

OVERALL RATING

8.0/10

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Overall the HTC TouchPro is a good phone that could become great with some minor tweaking to the devices registry. Im sure once this phone is released and the guys at ppckitchens get their mitts on this that we will have her fixed up and performing the way HTC meant it to. (before sprint got a hold of it.)

OVERALL PHONE RATING

9.0/10

BE SURE TO HIT THE REP IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEW OF THE HTC TOUCH PRO.
OR NOMINATE FOR THREAD OF THE MONTH IF YOU LOVE IT :hail:

ALSO AS YOU CAN SEE THIS WAS A LOT OF TYPING AND ALL DONE FROM THE HTC TOUCH PRO.

[D/\SH]

Make a couple of edits adding a few more things i forgot about... Tell me what you all think and enjoy.

[MN Fat Boy]

So is this phone AGPS only as reported, or is it GPS/AGPS? Does it have the front camera? Have you tried the FM Radio? Do they have software for the FM Radio portion? What about the cable to the TV for video and picture viewing, does that work nice? Does this feel like the mogul in your hands or smaller? Thanks

wow holy shit dude lmao....... the phone has your normal 911 gps and your regular positioning gps. no it doesnt have the front camera and we wont seen one released by an american company any time soon. the fm radio works fine ill stay with xm radio though. the cable for the HD hookup (called VGA CORD) works great i have a thread of it posted here at the site in use. its a lil smaller and lighter feeling than the mogul and is one sexy phone!!

[Mike20PR]

thanx for the review bro

[iTouch24]

are u allowed to post detailed pics of phone ...

any estimated time frame that sprint will be releasing this ..

how much thicker is the phone then the htc touch without the slide out keyboard

[lordhelmet]

Dammit DASH! It seems like my sig (when I make one) will look a little like yours with the Touch Pro as a new beginning. Besides, whatever you're running with is what I should run with cause I don't want to lose the best support for my phone! :PDT_Armataz_51:

[D/\SH]

as i have stated already im obliged not to post pictures since the phone isnt released yet..... but the phone is slimmer and lighter than the mogul even with the bigger battery than the gsm version it is still only around 1/2 a inch thick and not more than that....... it should be co,ing in the next 3 weeks or so max.

hahaha i will get all phones that are new through sprint htc wise and mess with them for a while... thats why i am a true junkie.

[NINE'SICKS]

Lol, i think u posted that comment in the wrong thread...

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

nice review but i still want both phones lol.


hmmm if the touch pro is really noticable smaller than the mogul in length and thickness i might hold out for it. but idk. cant decide i love my mogul i just hate the size of it. so much that for my whole 3 day weekend i switched over to my centro. but got tired of the lil keyboard i went back to the mogul. i want something small and slick. the touch is nice. if its about the size of the touch id be happy with the touchpro and say forget the diamond.



dash can u confirm this?


but i read that one these phones has a tv outlet or video outlet or something like that.


also u think it be possible to get rid that ugly red color back?


also i think it might bug me to have the screen so far to the left it reminds me of the rumor.


i like how the mogul screen covers like whole front of the phone.

[D/\SH]

in time you can prolly get rid of the cover but in person the red is hotttt!!!!!! the diamond is what you will want if you want thin.

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

either way the screen to the side would bug me i think it reminds me of the rumor.


but ya i want thin but i want a keyboard lol idk if typeing on screen is easy than ill get that.


but the touch pro having a slide out keyboard and expansion slot is a plus


like i said i guess ill end up with both of them lol. my mogul one is due for an upgrade as of like march. my touch one is not yet looks like ill pay full price there.

[Moebius]

Great, thanks Dash... Now I have to spent the next several weeks drooling....lmao.

Great review bro. One question for ya. I've not dug for much video of this thing yet, but did I see correctly they buried the sd slot in the battery compartment? Might be my one and only gripe (and a small one at that). I like being able to switch quickly on the fly.

[iTouch24]

the htc vogue is about 1/2 inch thick ... the pro is the same thickness with a pull out keyboard ....

[garretts0501]

thanks for the review
i no this might be a little off topic but i have been reading around and i have heard different stories some saying that the touch pro is being released first and some saying that the diamond will be out first do any of you know what phone will be released first????
bc i am leaning towards the touch pro but i have no phone as of the moment (i have stupid walk ways in mexico to thank for that) and might have to go for the touch diamond if it comes out first and the touch pro doesnt have close to the same release date...thanks in advance

[D/\SH]

ok just in for those that need to know!!!!! the diamond will be released on the first week of the month!!!! it wil come in 3 colors for the back battery cover: red, black, and gray... and to answer your question garrett the diamond wil be dropped BEFORE thetouch pro.

[Moebius]

yes its like the touches is for the most part...

I was afraid of that. oh well, guess you can't have everything. still prolly gonna be standing there the day it comes out.

any clue when the pro will drop

[ferengiaz]

Thanks Dash:
While I have a longstanding relationship with Sprint I haven't used HTC phones. Mostly early Samsung and Treo lately. I'm ready to switch to something new and love your mods to the Touch. Is it your advice to wait to go the Pro route in two weeks? I mostly want email, web, contacts, etc.

Great review and looking forward to response.

[saxmanrp]

you said the browsing is fast but does it have all the bells and whistles..

Also do you know when sprint will come out with it and is it WM6.1 or its own platform

[D/\SH]

[D/\SH]

yes it has them all vga output built into the phone, the vga screen, the looks, the functionality, the speed, WM 6.1, gps, rev a, etc etc.

[kaos29205]

great review. If this phone is as hot as it seems then i will upgrade

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

im still wondering about that video out port i read about.

[D/\SH]

im still wondering about that video out port i read about.

im still wondering why you didnt read? i have a thread posted with it in use.

[halfdanarson]

Make a couple of edits adding a few more things i forgot about... Tell me what you all think and enjoy.

Quick question, does the camera have a flash?

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

Quick question, does the camera have a flash?

yes it does or a led spotlight but it does have a light on touch pro but not the diamond

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

im still wondering why you didnt read? i have a thread posted with it in use.

didnt know you made a thread but i found it and checked it out.


thanks.


i want the touchpro for sure but damn idk i want the diamond idk if i can wait any longer for the touch pro. sad thing is ill probably end up getting both. but damn about 1g for 2 phones is kinda crazy thats a like a months worth of work. idk if its worth it. maybe ill sell some phones i got right now to help out with the cost

[mikewhooo]

ill get the diamond keep it for 3 weeks return it and get the pro when it comes out

[iTouch24]

is the touch pro pretty much two touches put together thickness wise?

i cant see myself getting another phone without a hardware keyboard so the diamond is out but i am not sure if the pro is going to be too thick... the new palms surfacing look kinda cool

[iTouch24]

why did u post links to a treo pro??????

SORRY if it was uncalled for ... we were just discussin the new WM phones coming out ... so that is another new WM phone coming out ... just wanted to give people a heads up before they possibly jumped ship too early buying a HTC .... diamond or Pro

the more options the better though .... :brows:

[Psycho]

The touch pro does look awsome, wonder if assurion will accept my "debacle with the mogul" and allow me to get the touch pro for the 50$ deductable....

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

we were really discussing the touchpro than the diaond came up but this phone(s) are better than the new treo also it didnt make sense since you were talking about the touch pro than posted links to the new treo. but ya sprint probably wont get the new treo. its suppose to be an gsm phone

[iTouch24]

u are prob right ...

i guess the htc pro it is .... just need to find out from maybe dash the real thickness of it ... is it is like two touches piled ontop of eachother .....?

the touch is 1/2 inch thick

[iTouch24]

sorry about posting those links then....

so if u put your touch vogue next to your pro its the same width ....?

the vogue is 1/2 thick

if i can get the same size phone as the vogue touch with a pull out keyboard .. wow thats a keeper ... the mogul is allot thicker then the touch to me

[raybond25]

[iTouch24]

now the countdown,.. what did they say for the pro about 3 weeks to a month for release ....????

maybe i can get sprint to take back the touch for a pro .. being that the touch doesnt have picture mail capabilities without 3rd party software and the pro does i think

and being that the pro is said to be almost the same thickness as the touch and thinner then the mogul .. i am excited ....

yup it would be nice to have a phone same thickness as the touch.


but ya now they talking abotu the phone is pushed back and might not come out until like mid october.

[AL_CAPONE_X3]

its not the same as the touch it is really close though and smaller than the mogul.

well thats good news if its close.


but is it really noticeable. like does it seem alot smaller than the mogul will i notice a difference because i love my mogul but the size and weight isnt doing it for me thats why i activate my touch or centro when i dont wanna carry the big thing

[D/\SH]

[mikewhooo]

bro i just told you what i thought and the cpmparison..... not much bigger/thicker at all than the touch. Dash any clue when the pro is going to drop?

[jburks06]

Excelent review and rating. I am surprise you haven't been stolen by any of the technical magazines or technical shows as an expert/analyst. I am glad you are with Smart Phone Evolution. Yooooooooou Rock Dash!!!!

[D/\SH]

Dash any clue when the pro is going to drop?

looks like middle october since they just pushed it back another 2 weeks or so.

hahahaha i do some stuff on the side and this is my baby and i will never leave it..... (too many memories of building this place from scratch with pb aka elboriyorker) but anyways i do some testing on phones for sprint and now vodafone (as of last week) basically test the phone and write a review and submit itto them and i get to keep the device..... so it works for me lmao.

[skorpio24]

Dash, you rule !!!! I've had my Mogul since July and im ready 2 sell it for this baby. I recently saw the Touch Diamond in LV and I was like "OKAY, if im feelin the diamond like this then I KNOW the touch pro is gonna be hella tight" :yahoo: I cant wait :yahoo:

[BMan]

wow holy shit dude lmao.......no it doesnt have the front camera and we wont seen one released by an american company any time soon.

Thanks for your thorough review of this phone man!! This is actually what I wanted from a phone when I got my Touch. I just hope I will be able to get my hands on one.

One feature I'm a little disappointed about not being included is the front camera. Although not a huge deal, I always am looking forward to the future with newer features and technologies packed into these tiny hand-held devices... ...and thinking about being able to look at someone while talking to them (and vice-versa) seemed like another entertaining prospect.

In any case, the lack of it won't stop my desire for (or need to get) the Touch Pro. I just hope the thing won't break my bank account!

[VenumX]

Dash any clue when the pro is going to drop?

[D/\SH]

What are odds I am able to one off the site or trade for one here ? Pay retail price in the store on cool lmao

its not released so you have no odds of finding at either.

[mikewhooo]

its not released so you have no odds of finding at either.
so my question is when do we get more pictures of it

[iTouch24]

there are tons of pictures of it online... even go to the htc site

[mikewhooo]

there are tons of pictures of it online... even go to the htc site yeah but real pictures with some more of the features in use

[D/\SH]

yeah but real pictures with some more of the features in use

when i get the ok from work :>

[pyrobug]

...One feature I'm a little disappointed about not being included is the front camera...

What happened to this feature? Are the CDMA providers concerned about about us burning up too much bandwidth with video calling? I was really excited about this.

Is Sprint the only carrier picking up the Touch Pro? Any word on Verizon/Alltel?

[VenumX]

verizon is getting it eventually not sure about altell. as for the front camera...there is no video calling on sprint right now anyway. even if you had a phone with a camera on the front so YOU could do video calling only other people with that phone would be able to do it. Sprint would have to come out with a complete new line of phones to accommodate this new technology and economically they are not even close into a position to make a move like that.

[MizzBBri]

MAN...aren't you the lucky one...I've been waiting on this phone for a while...I guess that my mogul is going to have to suffice until the Touch Pro comes out....any idea as to when that's suppose to happen? I know the Diamond is rumored for this week sometime...but I enjoy a keyboard :-D...

Is it about the same thickness as the mogul? the pictures tend to make the pro look a lil chunky...

[D/\SH]

naw the diamond is to be released on the 14th of september while the touch pro isnt going to drop officially until the 19th of october..... and for the thickness it is a great deal thinner than the mogul....... look in my review i tell you there and more o nthe first or second page when someone already asked that question.

[iTouch24]

bigger then the touch but smaller then mogul

[D/\SH]

bigger then the touch but smaller then mogul

i know u prob held a few hundred or thousand of these phones already .. would u say that it feels like the thickness of a deck of cards in your hand or maybe like two decks of cards.. i saw pictures in which it looks real thick but then people said that it doesnt feel that thick in your hands .... hhhmmmm .... i guess its more of a holster phone then front pocket one....??
