HTC Touch Pro ReviewRed starRed starRed starRed star White star

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

Due to the slide-out QWERTY keyboard the HTC Touch Pro is a chunky device. Despite this, HTC has still maintained a handset that sports a polished fascia and a diamond-emblazoned back, and the screen simply sparkles.

 

Features

A vastly improved TouchFLO 3D interface, Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity, a 3.15-megapixel camera, A-GPS and a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

 

Ease of use

The QWERTY keyboard is spacious enough to type up medium-sized documents and the touch-screen works a charm. Due to the array of features it may take some time to master your way around the device.

 

Performance

The HTC Touch Pro’s array of features all perform to an impressive standard, and the TouchFLO 3D user interface makes for smooth navigation.

 

Battery life

With 480 minutes’ talktime and 406 hours’ standby, the HTC Touch Pro far surpasses the Diamond in terms of battery life.

 

HTC Touch Pro

Pros: A full slide-out QWERTY keyboard is a real blessing when composing emails and messages
Cons: You may struggle to cram this device into your trouser pocket
