omio.com HTC Touch Pro Review - Part 1

[jaydagfd4]

worst video for reviewing a phone ever...

[Cburgtiger]

Love this phone!

[TheTwinkeeBoi]

[Cburgtiger]

[char2ewkewl]

This phone has the worst keyboard EVER!

But sheesh your cam sucks xD

[Imp4cT123]

[Zenome]

This phone is a POS.

[Wayne2219]

WHAT THE FUCK I GOT THE TOUCH PRO MINE DOESNT HAVE TWO CAMERAS!

[waelib1]

@Wayne2219 thats not a camera. thats the mirorr thing whtevr u call it

[Wayne2219]

@waelib1 no that one has a front facing camera and back facing camera its one of the first with it but i got ripped off i only got one camera they say because its the US Sprint version man its bulll shit the camera quality is bullshit anyway

[1980KNIGHTRIDER]

1 thing this htc sux

[RicoSoRaw89]

i know this phone is old but im getting it anyway

[MikeyM718]

@RicoSoRaw89 Please don't. I have one and the best advice I can give you is to stay away... Far away. The keyboard is nice, but the screen sucks and the cpu is so sluggish you will want to clam the phone against concrete outside. My battery life idle is about 6hours and during slight usage about 2 hours.

[10nyk10]

hello, i want to buy a phone just for the internet. what do you recomend to an accesible price? tnx

[XxRezenaxX]

@10nyk10 maybe HTC touch pro 2 or maybe the hero. HTC TP 2 is not accesible price I think.. but its awezome!

[rchan0]

man why is your video so blurry?

the room you are in has so much echo

[yoohootubeuser]

have this phone i got it a couple of months the only thing i have problems with it is that it frezzes on me and i would have to reboot or restart and when i turn it off and turn it on the next day it wouldnt load up its home screen so its getting sent away to get it fixxed :)

[myVW4LIFE]

[napodman]

[sydil26]

im getting this phone tomorrow and im trying to figure out how it works thid was a great review

[JustxOncex3]

okay so i want to get this phone i could personally care less about the internet i just want to use it for texting and calling and taking pictures, if its a piece of crap please tellll me

[Kenzo215]

Future references I have this phone and sadly to say it is worth nothing. The key board does not work have the time. in addition the phone freezes and jumps back and forth from screens to screens. I got the phone in march and it started acting crazy in april. I just dont understand why but when ever my contract is up Im going to a different company. DONT BUY THE HTC TOUCH PRO ITS A WASTE OF MONEY. BUT GO HEAD AND BUY IT YOU WILL SEE WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. CANT SO I TOLD YOU.

[SebTP91]

Well, I prefer HTC Dream G1 ^^

[piano10192]

thanks :o)

i was about to go get it too... im tryin' to choose between the HTC Touch Pro and Blackberry Storm and i can't figure out which one i want. i think i know now lol.

[andycr2048]

Yours is obviously broken, so how about getting it repaired under warranty instead of misleading other people? Mine does none of that.

[AbsoluteOblivion]

So it is like other Windows smartphones, you have to close out of things yourself otherwise they hide in the background and use up RAM and energy?

I have a moto Q9c and it's exactly like that.

[Beingaloserisfun]

can u go on msn and myspace and stuff?

[XZibittt]

can you still send text messages with only the touch screen?

[haufa1]

yeah!!! u can :D

[TantedLove]

this phone is OKAY. at most. very slow, takes a few seconds to preform simple tasks. lags when you text and just was not what i was expecting .

[vishizzy]

dows this phone have the internet that looks like computer internet or internet that looks like shit ass internet cuz i want the one that looks like computer internet and oes it have twitter would u recommend me buying this phone?

[phazer30]

Erm... make more sence please? Do you mean it will perform like regular PC browser? Or just displays full pages in full HTML ext..

[dh4096i]

The N97 is gonna cost heaps so how is it gonna take over the world

[rv53705]

Only thing i don't like of n97: doesn't run Windows Mobile (for me that's all), but if i could install WM on it, just rocks.

[BarneyIsPerverted]

Yeah, and this phone raised it.

[IGNmonster007]

fuk u

[dsarti1]

if they would keep the bigger size they could have put a bigger button keypad, larger screen, and bigger battery...another words instead of smaller I would like to see more rugged and more capibilitys

[AirsoftAddict69]

i just got this phone but how do you set it to touchflo???

[pokingpenguin]

go into the start menu, settings, today, the second tab, and scroll down and select touch flo 3D

[DARQMX]

THANKYOU HTC. You acutally listened to us about the ram. 288MB? THAT IS AWESOME. I have the 6800 and 64MB of ram is crap. You heard our complaints about that and did something about it. We need more companies like that. I am buying this phone!

[OmniscientOmio]

YOU'RE actually right!

[avcomth]

Your vid. cam is totally out of focus!

[OmniscientOmio]

YOU'RE out of focus!

[DoubleD2k6]

he's actually right. the cam is focused on the cables and the phone on that table.

[poopcastmovi]

@OmniscientOmio your vid cam is out of focus

[MrBoOmSeLeCtA]

@OmniscientOmio looool

[bibi87]

@avcomth I totally agree

[taraterror138]

I broke my mogul a little bit ago,

they give you a choice between the new trio or the htc diamond.

not the pro.

:/

[prezzzes]

Come on guys... Couldn't you teach your cameraman on how to use the focus feature of the camera? At least in the beginning of the vid... :)

[OmniscientOmio]

It was early days in Omio's history! We've come on leaps and bounds since then. Editing, cinematography, ILM doing the post-production...our videos are now Golden Globe contenders!

[Bonelafide]

w w w. TALKTOUCHPRO. NET

Great user friendly touch pro user site and community with downloads, tutorials help and more! new site so join up and help us grow!

[R3APER24]

Hey People, I have a mogul and insurance. I heard the if your mogul breaks and you send it in they give you the Touch Pro (mogul discontinued?. Can anyone confirm this, my mogul screen is messed up.

[DieselRedd]

not that case, I just experienced this very recently. and the compariable replacement is the htc touch diamond or some blackberry. I bein trying to get them to send me the pro, but all they can off is 299.00 with a mail in rebate and renewal of 2 year contract. They sent me the diamond, its cool for now.

[DieselRedd]

I'm big on textn so I dont know how long I'll keep it. If anyone is interested in purchasing the diamond for 200, get at me. The diamond is less bulkier than the mogul and pro and the transcriber enables you to handwrite all over the screen and converts it to text, the phone is pretty cool. Unfortunately I text more than I call people

[nestoloco]

OMG I screamed at the circle zooming thing. That was aWE SOME.

[jjackson6589]

i have a blackberry curve right now. is it worth the switch???

[xx76xx67]

definetly

[whirly360]

Can anyone tell me in all aspects how this phone and The HTC diamond compare to the samsung instinct and the iphone.

[lipthony]

Help me decide please. HTC Touch Pro or the Samsung Omnia. Please help!

[2left]

pro

[Mariu1519]

HTC Touch Pro has the best screen, e-mail and is a little smaller than Omnia. So if watching pictures, movies, browsing the Internet and writing e-mails is what you're gonna use the phone to, then you should choose Touch Pro. Touch Pro also has a full qwerty keyboard, which Omnia don't have.

Samsung Omnia has a much better camera, 16 GB internal storage (+ support of memory cards), may be a little faster than the Touch Pro and the best GPS of the two.

Both phones has Windows Mobile 6.1.

[tecnoali]

can any1 tell me wich phone is better the touch pro or the n97 or the 5800 xpress music (please help i want to buy a phone)if u know any other good touch phones except the iphone please tell me

[Mariu1519]

Well, N97 is Nokias top model at the moment. The 5800 xpressmusic is not as good as the N97, but far more cheap.

Wether if the HTC Touch Pro is better than the Nokia N97, depends on your needs of a full qwerty keyboard. Touch Pro (Windows Mobile) has both a qwerty keyboard and touch screen, while N97 (Symbian) "only" has the touch screen.

Some other really nice phones with a touch screen are HTC Touch HD, LG KC910 Renoir and Sony Ericsson X1i Xperia.

Search Google for reviews of the phones.

[tecnoali]

thanx a lot

[xx76xx67]

i have a samsung alias and im trying to decide whether to switch to the pro. like jackson, is it worth the switch?

[bore95]

is that phone good ore shall i get a Experia X1?

[MattXICE]

i stumbled across this video so dont rip me a new one wen i ask this but does this come for verizon?

[elwlx123]

It's already out for verizon.. check the website.. :)

but it's kinda expensive...:(

[ammar89cool]

i got one of these n i think htc has done a great jod with the keyboard... the typing is very smooth n comfortable with this small sized keyboard.. amazing.. totally recommended

[apateurescience]

$530

[bmxmanic25]

how much is the HTC Touch Pro for verizon wireless JUST for the phone?

[trinitypaintballa]

It's like $530 or something around there.

I know it's pretty expensive...I'm considering either this or the Blackberry Storm. My contract isn't up until the end of 2009 so I'll have to buy a phone retail.

[bmxmanic25]

yea my contract isn't over till september 09 so ffs, i have to buy retail for verizon.......Does anybody know if prices are going down for retail version and when???? PLEASE reply

[Kizergirl2013]

its only $350 which is still pretty heavy but i think its worth it!

[thenickmeister1215]

is the one in this video a european version?

cause the one on att is alot different, the backs not matte black, the number keys are different, and theres no camera on the front.

im just wondering cause i like this one you have on here, but if its the european version it prob wont work in the US will it?

where did you get this one in the video?

[Lunatic4ever]

omg the keyboard destroys the beauty totally!

[sixteen29]

which one is better

SAMSUNG OMNIA or HTC TOUCH PRO??

verizn lyn

thnx

[tezzofino]

i think HTC Touch pro..

[sixteen29]

do ineed to pay the internet on verizon wireless??

thnx

[ChaosBlack]

does anyone know the difference btween the diamond & Pro? for example, which one is cheaper, or or which is the jailbroken one, etc.

[lipthony]

Great reviews, but please help me decide: Samsung Omnia or HTC Touch Pro??? Thanks

[Twelvey]

Ive had a touch pro for the past week and love it.

[steef1234567890]

that was the desision I also had to made. I've chosen for the HTC Touch Pro

[cheldots]

could someone please tell me if this is better than xperia?

[Kaulitzxo]

definitely ;D xperia has got many complains & people returned the phone for an exchange. I chose Touch pro ;D

[emailarios]

i love the phone i bought it today and im very very pleased with it...i was very scared to get it because its the holidays and i know they are going to be awesome phones coming out but iam very happy with my selection

[ITR0952]

All about Touch Pro

w w w. AllTouchPro .c o m

[zeroanor]

Got my touch pro yesterday, i like it but its quite slow sometimes.

[TosseneMike]

I've read on places that if you update your ROM you get a real good improvement in speed.

Try it out =)

[wasteoftimereading]

smart phones are slow... you can't do anything with it. unless you delete all the programs. Smartphones run heavy programs that takes around 2-3 sec to open. That's why it's called an smartphone. If you can't live with it then you shouldnt buy a smartphone;)

[infin1ty]

That is very true, but the HTC Touch (both Pro and Diamond) are known to be rather slow when compared to other smartphones. That being, it's a trade off most people are willin to make.

[C00kiexM0nster]

Could someone tell me which phone is better out of the Htc touch pro or Xperia from sony ericsson?

I need one which is good value but also very good

[hatakekakashi1914]

thats wat i wanan know!

[bitflooder]

touch pro. xperia's screen not flushed. what's with all the panelling? GPS may not be true GPS (aGPS some say)

[Brechnar100]

read recent reviews, and the reviews say that hte keyboard is not comfortable to use as the touch pro is. And the interface was a little bit dissapointing but the Pro im picking up tomorrow with Bell.

[wasteoftimereading]

The HTC is after my opinion the best. The sony and the HTC run the same Windows mobile. HTC is cheaper.

[ATLANTA287]

XPERIA=800$

[iRubeGx11]

The HD is $999.99

NOT KIDDING!. Look it up in google.

[IwannabeaROCKstar14]

what?

[Xx0Dime0xX]

does anyone know if the htc touch pro will be coming to tornoto if so what company roger telus at&t please someone tell me

[InvaderTrond]

What's the HD? Stupid question.

[killerlion6]

It's a phone, which will be better than diamond, though no qwerty keypad like pro has one :/

[sparta9000]

focus the camera properly. Fuck its not that hard.

[exevez]

does the hd have qwerty?

[shadydx94]

should i get pro or diamond?

[jamiecurtis1991]

pro. or wait for the hd

[JDMARING]

HD all the way. but I here its not coming to the US....

[DatNiggaVinnie24]

memory bit disappointing

[ITR0952]

[ftwatheist]

[samsungfreakk]

[Fireestroysme]

ITS SOO SHINYY!!!

[clanim91]

this is th best phone paka paka paka biatch!!!

[ufip123]

when is htc pro available in UK?

[teddiefuc]

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST FOR SPRINT..

[yayotters]

$300 after rebates and subsidization.

I think that's what I remember reading.

[rumpagump]

does it have the same memory problem as the S730?

[fkvc043075]

is there a function to type txt msg without have to slide out and use the query key pad ? kind of like using the old school numberic system ?

[ftwatheist]

good thing theres gonna be htc fuze for at&t

[timar03]

terrible cam dude.

you now you can set the focus manually too, so the fucking table wont be focused insted of the phone!

gaaawd!

[JaysHuskers]

the phone dog blog which is highly accurate said the touch pro will be coming out for verizon sometime around mid-october to november. now that is not for sure it is just an estimate, but the guy is right most of the time so... I can't wait to get it for verizon

[thecrackajack98]

it is comming out for sprint around the 20th.

so probally within the next year for verizon. it starting at 299.99 w/ 2 year.

[ihatephatppl]

hello does anybody know when this phone comes out for verizon and how much it will cost with a two year contract?

[rasmasyean]

For details on Lithium-Polymer, google " Lithium-Polymer Storage guidelines" an open the PDF document that describes the technical details of lithium polymer batteries.

[rasmasyean]

Lithium polymer batteries sometimes need to have gone through several cycles to achieve full capacity after storage for a long time. That's why new phones that these new batteries get complaints, but after a while the complaints drop off and people are satisfied.

[fasho67]

htc diamond and touch pro are coming out for sprint and the samsung highnote and the samsung rant and the lg lotus.

alll tight phones lol

[bafly]

Can you write without qwerty keyboard??

[EmperorAtahualpa]

yes

[ftwatheist]

yes

[Danielgc90]

hey i was wonderin if u can browse trough the meenus with the directional arrows from the qwerty keyboard! thanks!

[djsoete]

jep, you can use the arrows, and also you can browse between previous page, go direct to email without touching the screen or arrows.. .

i've got the touch pro for about 2-3 weeks, and i'm fairly content with it. Just one major problem wich I can't figure out.

If someone calls me, and I have to take the touch pro out of it's protecting case, most of the time i pick up the phone accidently... .

[AZking45]

Whatch my video of the HTC touch diamond.

[nbcoupe]

I did. It's crap,don't do that again

[damiaking]

cant wait for this thing comes out on sprint

[najibbakr]

man this phone rocks this is a great phone but the problem is it is to expensive

[a300pilotster]

how much will this phone be on sprint/us?

[albertocab]

$299 with a $100 rebate with a 2 year contract. Coming 1st week of OCT.

[haril007]

[memorexbanana]

Touch diamond is coming out for Sprint, touch pro is coming out for AT&T

[rell127]

[ftwatheist]

[ftwatheist]

oct 23

[johnnyh64]

Thanks for the review. Have to agree to put the video cam in macro mode as well. Would like info on the GPS and how accurate it is and what software works best with it in that regard.

Anyone know what kind of 3rd party apps will work with this? I love the Iphone for the 3rd party apps and hope there could be some great ones for this phone as well.

[rell127]

not sure but windows mobile let people fully customize their phones apple just started to let people do it.

[14bommerlunder]

dont you have a macro mode? this video sucks
