With rumors if the Touch Pro2 launching in Europe in the next month or so, reviews are starting to trickle in across the Internet (although technically, they are previews since the reviewers only get a few moments with the device), examining features from hardware and software, like how the accelerometer controls the new super speakerphone for enterprise customers and various other sensors on the device. Although there is no indication at this time if TouchFLO 3D will make the transition to Windows Mobile 6.5 on this Windows Phone, it has been confirmed for the Diamond2 that an OS upgrade will be made available for free once that is available. Naturally, we’ll be assuming the same for the Touch Pro2 as it is in the same family of revised Diamond devices.

Area Mobile (link is with English translation courtesy of Google) has gotten their hands on a Touch Pro2 on Windows Mobile 6.1–the OS that the device will ship with until Windows Mobile 6.5 is released. The review was spotted by WMPowerUser. The massive 3.6-inch screen makes it easy to forget that Windows Mobile was originally designed with a stylus in mind. Like its predecessor in the Touch Pro was built for both touch and stylus entry. However, the larger screen makes it easier to tap as there is more surface area.

HTC and Microsoft have focused more on the enterprise functionality of this device, in particular when it comes to conference calls. The feature, called Straight Talk, was originally touted at Mobile World Congress, features noise canceling microphones and a nice speaker. Once the device is flipped over, speakerphone is initiated, making it really easy to have a portable conference room. HTC’s attention to detail on this is noticeable in the hardware department as there is now a dedicated mute button on the back below the camera lens to mute your voice input on a speakerphone call when you want. Sadly though, this removes the option for a flash on the camera.

In addition, dialog boxes and contact links make it easier to enter a conference call than before–you no longer need to remember, or jot down separately, the conference number, conference room designation, PIN to access the room, or any other string of digits. Much of this is handled through the HTC/Microsoft interface. Very nice!

The new TouchFLO 3D in landscape has a little box with an up arrow, much like on the UI of Opera Mobile 9.5; tapping on that box brings up the regular icons, giving the user more options.

In basic features, Windows Mobile is practically hidden. HTC did a good job with TouchFLO 3D on skinning most basic aspects of Windows Mobile, giving the device the feel of a feature phone, rather than a complicated smartphone. This is definitely a positive for beginners to the platform. However, advanced users can still hit the Start menu and get into the guts of the OS and tweak settings, load more applications, and hack their devices to customize it further.

So, the killer feature is the tilting screen on this device. According to Area Mobile, the screen tilts a good 60 degrees.
