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.
Expensive

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
Nothing says "I mean business" like a QWERTY keyboard on a phone (or a fez on a monkey). Unfortunately that normally also says "I'm really ugly" (ever seen a pretty monkey?). HTC's solution? Hide it in a sexy sliding mechanism. Like the Diamond, t...
The user interface - despite being lifted from the Diamond - is as stubborn as a teenage mule. It was unresponsive to our pinkie swipes and prods, and had terrible lag time - proving more pig-headed than a Lord of the Flies convention. To finish the trio...
In the Touch Pro, HTC has made a chic and accomplished QWERTY-loaded WinMo smart phone. A shame then that it's overshadowed by the annoyingly stubborn user interface.Best offers for the HTC Touch ProAmazon Marketplace £249.99 Amazon UK £385...
HTCs Touch Pro is chunky and a bit on the heavy side, but together thats a small price to pay for the benefits: to whit, one of the best slide-out Qwerty keyboards weve tried, one of the very few touchscreens that comes close to the prowess of the ...
Abstract: The HTC Touch Pro is not perfect. There’s no escaping that it’s a big brute of a device, it takes an age to load up and we didn’t like the fact that we had to keep awakening it by pressing the power button on the top of the device. However, if it was ...
Stunning VGA display. Comfortable QWERTY keypad. High speed connectivity
Chubby and heavy chassis. Highly erratic touch 3D UI. Windows Mobile OS
An unconvincing touch UI ruins the most stylish QWERTY Windows Mobile phone we’ve pawed ...

Qwerty keyboard; HSDPA; Wi-Fi; GPS
Lack of flash on the camera; TouchFLO 3D interface is slow at times
This is HTC doing what it does well. The Touch Pro is another fully featured smart phone that deals with email and text editing well. Our only disappointments are that the TouchFLO 3D interface can be slow at times and it isn't as big an upgrade as we...
TouchFLO 3D interface delivers better speed and reliability, Superb keyboard, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, Improved battery life over the Touch Diamond
Expensive, Fiddly control buttons, Battery life could be better
HTCs Touch Pro fixes many of the problems with the Touch Diamond and adds a superb keyboard. It remains neat and compact, while battery life is improved (if still not perfect)...
Abstract: We have the HTC Touch Pro in the office at the moment, but we thought we’d give you taster of this new Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone before we publish the full review. Available now for £494.99 contract-free from Expansys, the Touch Pro is essentially...
