"I finally feel cool with a WM phone!"
Pros: - Great screen
- a ton of featues
- looks sleek and feels sturdy
- fantastic sound quality
- on-screen keyboard that works really well in portrait and landscape
- best pull-out keyboard that I've seen on any phoneCons: Goes to the home screen when you put it to your ear when making a call. You have to press "phone" then "keypad" to enter extra keys. This is a pain when dialing into your voicemail, or an automated system that needs extra keys to navigate
Summary: I really love this phone so far! I've had it for 2 days and I'm still excited to get up in the morning to use it :)
I showed it to a friend of mine who is a big iPhone lover and he was even impressed with the Touch Pro 2. This is my 3rd Windows Mobile phone, but this is the first one that I'm acutally proud to show off.
The keyboards (on-screen and pull-out) are really good. The on-screen keyboard is very responsive and I rarely miss-hit (although sometimes I accidently close on-screen keyboard when I'm trying to hit the space bar).
It comes with an MP3 trimmer that let's me grab any portion of a song that I want and make it a ringtone. A simple thing, but I love it.
The only negative point that I've found so far is that the phone goes to the home page when you put it against your ear. So if you are dialing into your voicemail get the prompt to enter your PIN, you have to click on the "phone" button to get to the call menu, and then click on "keypad" to access the keypad. The Touch Pro 2 has a great call menu (quickly access 3-way calling, speaker phone, calendar, mute, and a bunch of other things), so I don't know why is doesn't just stay on that screen while you are in the middle of a call. Hopefully they address this when they launch the Windows Mobile 6.5 version of the OS in October.
As for the size, I think that it's fine. Yeah it's heavier than the iPhone, but I gladly accept that for the full keyboard and the speakerphone system. It fits well in my pant pocket...
Anyway, the bottom-line is that I love this phone and highly recommend it to anyone who is considering it. You won't regret it
