The editors didn't like
Screen color depth is just 65
000 colors
Camera could be better
Battery life isnt stellar not bad for a VGA though
Version reviewed is from Europe
So it wouldnt work on North American 3G networks (be careful what you buy!)
Front screen is a magnet for fingerprints and streaks
But easily cleaned.
Very expensive. Slow. Not enough RAM. TouchFLO interface is confusing. Lacks features when compared with AT&T and Sprint versions. No IM client. Strange keyboard layout. Non-standard headphone jack.
Expensive. Poor battery life. Middling reception quality. Confusing "dual-OS" interface. Could be faster. No camera button or standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Sluggish at times
No auto flash for camera
Lacks 3.5mm headphone jack
Almost as thick as the TyTN II
Questionable build quality
TouchFLO 3D in landscape doesnt exist
Not enough utilization of accelerometer
Expensive (unsubsidized)

The Verizon Touch Pro is buggy and incredibly slow. It has less onboard RAM than the Sprint and AT&T versions
And the battery drains quickly. Theres no standard headphone jack.
Molasses-slow performance
Dated menus under TouchFLO
Interface requires stylus
*
The Touch Pro is sluggish at times. The smartphone is bulky
And theres no standard headphone jack or dedicated camera key.
Sluggishness due to the early ROM
Below excellent incoming sound quality
Doesn’t offer anything in addition to Diamond’s features
Good player with low quality
Mediocre camera
The slider moves when using the music controls
Fingerprint magnet
Done with a better camera
Not much to complain about
Navigation options are limited. Lacks some necessary software. ...
Phone felt unresponsive. Interface lagged
System sometimes didnt respond to buttons
Overall disappointing performance. Needs more messaging
Abstract: When HTC's Touch Diamond launched just before the iPhone 3G , it felt rushed and was, frankly, more than a little disappointing. I can't help feeling that HTC should have played the waiting game. Because although problems with the original Touch's sluggis...

Touch Pro did live up to our expectations: it offers all features seen in Touch Diamond, including the same TouchFLO 3D interface, adding an extremely good hardware keyboard, which makes writing a pleasure. Unfortunately however, it doesn’t bring anyth...

If youve skimmed the rest of the review, read this section carefully because I am going to offer important advice. If you dont need the keyboard, and 4GB of memory is enough for you, get the Touch Diamond. Its much thinner, has fantastic on-...
Abstract: Rumor has it that AT&T is planning on releasing this bad boy as the “Fuze” … and it looks like it might be a device worth waiting for compared to the slightly aged Tilt. I think I’ll pass as the only thing even remotely on my radar right now is the Tr...

Abstract: I had an opportunity to check out the HTC Touch Pro aka Raphael smartphone at an informal meet up with HTC earlier today. According to HTC, the Touch Pro is the company’s Touch Diamond (but more) and by more it is beefier in thickness due to a slide u...
Abstract: The problem most people have with Windows Mobile touchscreen phones is the onscreen keyboard. Can HTC overcome that barrier with a hidden set of buttons? On the first HTC Touch, our self-confessed fat-fingered editor couldn't be doing with the teeny-we...

The HTC Touch Pro is definitely worth a look. While some of the features may not be quite up to the par of other phones, this unit has enough going for it to make it a better choice for many consumers, especially business professionals.
