The HTC Touch Pro 2

The HTC Touch Pro 2 is a powerful smartphone which puts familiar office applications within reach of the user.

It boasts a large 3.6 inch touch screen which makes viewing documents and applications an easy task, and the QWERTY keyboard makes emailing a quick and easy job. And the phone also has conference quality speakerphone facilities which means that talking to a number of colleagues at the same time is a great plus point. At its heart lies the Microsoft Windows 6.1 operating system.

And there is so much more to this action packed 3G mobile, boasting:

• colour screen
• voice memo recorder
• GPRS
• Bluetooth
• Quadband
• Active flip
• Camera
• Modem
• Wi-Fi
• Voice activated dialling
• Vibrating alert.

The weight is a slightly obese 175g, but that’s not unexpected on a business smartphone, and the vital statistics are: 116mm x 59.2mm x 16mm. Talk time is an impressive 420 minutes and the standby time is 348 hours.

Its Quadband credentials cover GSM 850/900/1800/1900.

It doesn’t come with infrared mind you, but the camera, at 3.2 megapixels, certainly holds its own against many non-business models.

In terms of feedback, the HTC Touch Pro 2 has impressed most users, especially as it has improved the finer points of the previous model. Notable is the improved software for the touchscreen and the tilt screen. The screen boasts 480x800 widescreen VGA resolution.

But one of the most applauded features on the phone is the speaker phone facility; an ideal feature for the busy, on-the-move executive. Lay the HTC Touch Pro 2 on a table for example and it will automatically switch into speak-phone mode. It works so well because the smartphone has two microphones which pick-up the sound from a number of people in a room. But that’s not all, as the phone has a clever chip inside it which acts to cancel out background noise, concentrating on the speaker’s voice. This provides a crisp and unparalleled clarity to the whole speakerphone operation. And this clarity is further enhanced with speakers that have an integral woofer and tweeter.
