Hands On: Touch Pro 2

Every time I see the Touch Pro 2, it seems to become better and better. I finally got my easily on it for real yesterday and, well, it'south a solid, incredible piece of hardware. Every time HTC iterates their slider design I always remember to myself "Well, they've pretty much perfected this grade cistron" and every time a new one comes out I realize they're better at design than I am. Ahem.

The Touch Pro 2 feels great in the mitt and though it'southward a tad hefty, it's a good kind of heft. The tilting slider hinge is back and feels solid. You may non actually want to tilt it all the way up during normal use as it does block the number row (yes, a total number row) of the keyboard.

More thoughts and -- of course -- more photos afterwards the break!

Speaking of that keyboard, it's incredibly good and HTC says that this demo unit's keyboard is really non all that great shakes compared to what the production units will take. All I know is in that location's good central travel and broad key separation, the keys are large and piece of cake to see -- I'd almost be tempted to say it took its inspiration from recent MacBook keyboards, simply that'd be heresy.

TouchFlo 3D was very very snappy and has all of the improvement from the Touch Hard disk -- including Stocks and the ability to reorder or hide tabs. The other dainty new matter: it'south fully at that place in mural mode. Actually the clever chip is that in landscape way the tabs auto-hibernate, you tap on the left to bring them up and slide over to the i that you desire to apply. Very intelligent utilise of space.

Lastly -- I'm told the speakphone is just apartment-out stupendous. It'southward loud, clear, and the noise counterfoil is expert enough that HTC employees actually utilize information technology by just slapping it down on the rider seat equally they bulldoze. This matter ways business.

I know it'southward only February and there's plenty of 2009 left, simply everybody (including HTC) is going to have their work cutting out for them trying to top the Affect Pro two.
