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
