At long last, the Touch Pro2 is available, and here is the unboxing video for your viewing. We find that although the device is big in hand, it’s noticeable thinner than the Touch Pro and especially the old TyTN II.
In terms of specs, the Touch Pro2 is almost identical to the Diamond2 (in fact, look at this side by side comparison). It’s got a Qualcomm 528MHz CPU with 512MB ROM and 288MB RAM. The screen is a large 3.6″ at 800×480 resolution, which is the highest that Windows Mobile will support. It’s got aGPS, FM radio, an accelerometer, light sensor, WiFi, and HSDPA (though not for America). It ships with Windows Mobile 6.1, but will be upgradable for free to WinMo 6.5 in a couple of months. For more specs, check out PDAdb.net.
First impressions? It’s amazing how refined HTC has made the Windows Mobile hardware and software on the Touch Pro2. It’s easy to forget that Windows Mobile 6.1 is running under everything.
Also of note is the screen sensitivity…like the Diamond2, it’s VERY sensitive, in fact, as close to capacitive as we’ve ever seen with Windows Mobile hardware.
If you want a Touch Pro2 of your own, they are now shipping at Clove for £439 which comes out to about $720. Though this particular variant of the Touch Pro2 will work in America, you won’t be able to get 3G data.
