HTC as one of Windows Mobile leading manufacturers, leave its track in development history of sliding cover smart phone, such as the U1000, Shift, TyTN II, S740, 838 are all very typical representative of HTC . Now HTC’s latest series of sliding cover the whole keyboard models are Touch Pro series, following the introduction of Touch Pro 1 generations, Touch Pro2 is also scheduled to market, and let us review on HTC Touch Pro 2.
HTC Touch Pro 2‘s biggest overall increase is closer to the PC mode of operation, and find a balance in appearance. Like the HTC U1000, Shift such models, although has created a close body to PC, and even support Vista system , such a strong hardware, but as a mobile phone, portability and practicality greatly reduced. Like S740, Touch Pro models except for the whole keyboard ,a 2.8-inch screen and full keyboard is not in proportion with reality, because the navigation keypad takes up so much space.
These problems have been good changes in HTC Touch Pro 2, Touch Pro 2 screen increases to 3.6 inches WVGA (480×800 pixel) resolution, the function key area is relatively reduced, the body increases also brought a full keyboard increases, the key large particle size also by a certain gap, its key style is somewhat similar with the SONY laptop keys.
Compard to HTC Touch diamond, HTC Touch Pro is more sliding. HTC Touch Pro 2 body weight reaches nearly 170
grams, the internal working is not perfunctory.
HTC Touch Pro 2 in the innovation has been expressed in Diamond 2 , such as the bottom of the screen ZOOM
Bar virtual zoom in / out of, especially in the pictures and web browsing experience is in an unprecedented increase.
HTC Touch Pro 2 hardware configuration is still Qualcomm MSM7200A 528MHz processor, memory configuration for
the ROM: 512MB, RAM: 288MB. As opposed to becoming an increasingly mainstream 624MHz processor, 528MHz
processor make many users not understand.
ZOOM Bar is a very commendable, though not prominent, always at a critical time to play a prominent role. HTC Touch Pro 2 also equipped with light sensors, distance sensors, and other mainstream applications, but handled relatively low-key, arranged hanset on both sides. Although camera only three million pixels, the camera can be switched to pre – camera, which can make up for no self-portrait mirror defect.
HTC Touch Pro 2 support “Straight Talk”. “Straight Talk” is a technology combined the e-mail, calling features and microphone. Users can receive e-mail and also do multi-party conference call at the same time.
In addition, Straight Talk has another innovative design, precision speaker experience make users feel that using the company’s phone speakerphone function. With the non-symmetrical speaker, noise suppression noise control and full-duplex sound system, Touch Pro 2 provides a high-fidelity voice and sound quality experience, when users flip cell phones, Touch Pro 2 will automatically be converted to meeting rooms telephone public address system.
HTC Touch Pro 2 has a circle portion of deep-green textured non-woven material on the back of fuselage to avoid speaker into the gray. The middle part is wire drawing. Entire back are more practical and full of contemporary.
The stylus is located in the lower right side of HTC Touch Pro 2, it should be said that this root is one major flaw of HTC Touch Pro 2.The location of the stylus down, and its magnetic force alone in the slot, easily lost. In addition, the stylus is placed in the rear cover through the slot, so you should pick put the stylus first if you install the rear cover.
Side flip structure phone’s most vulnerable is convergence. HTC Touch Pro 2 has no arrow keys, equipswith Windows Mobile smart machines very necessary windows key and OK key, keys used by a large damping material, although a small point, grip will not slip.
HTC Touch Pro 2 power button located on the side of the slide, it is thin strip.
HTC Touch Pro 2 screen size is 3.6 inches with a resolution of WVGA (480×800 pixel), size and resolution is a more balanced mix. Big screen brings pictures and web browsing a more broad perspective. The accuracy of touch is heightened. Big screen will often bring negative effects of power-hungry, due to its distance and light sensors, you can inadvertently play a role in energy conservation, in fact, from the use of point of view, This role is more obvious. As the only show 60005 1000 colors, and the display panel reflective mirror more serious, which is a certain discount for the HTC Touch Pro 2 big screen performance, in particular the angled view, the performance is less satisfactory.
HTC Touch Pro 2 in many cases will use the horizontal screen, in order to better adapt to this point, HTC Touch Pro 2′s TouchFLO 3D interface in the horizontal open below the main navigation area is hidden, you can click the small arrow to open the white border.
In other areas, HTC Touch Pro 2 interface improvements is relatively significant strengthening of the individual centers, more obvious application of the individual centers. In addition the built-in Opera browser supports the default Web site to automatically download, so that can view directly download content, saving wait for download time.
Overall, the new TouchFLO 3D gives the impression that custom is a more in-depth for Windows Mobile, which includes document management, the start menu, program lists, and set up a list of items, most of these applications Windows Mobile features items have been ordered for the TouchFLO 3D style.
HTC Touch Pro 2 is not equipped with a dedicated shutter button, shooting only through the screen aperture-shaped camera key.
HTC Touch Pro 2 pictures a little more interesting is that, when using Canon digital SLR camera after the microSD card into the Touch Pro2 can be automatically identified photo viewing, so, using the Touch Pro after the microSD card into the camera Canon SLR camera when the camera can also playback photos, if you have both of these two pieces of equipment, photo playback is very free.
HTC Touch Pro 2 is equipped with a 1500mAh rechargeable battery, have a certain increase for the previous
HTC models used in 1340mAh rechargeable batteries. Compared to this piece of 3.6-inch WVGA (480×800 pixel) resolution display, we should say just enough.
