The HTC Touch Pro is the bigger, fatter brother to the HTC Touch Diamond. It’s available now for £514.99 and comes complete with the TouchFLO 3D system you saw on the Diamond.
The Touch Pro isn’t as slim as the Diamond but the extra bulge gives you some extras. Sure, the on-board 4Gb storage has gone but in its’ place is a microSDHC card slot for adding stacks of extra storage. There’s also a 5-row QWERTY keyboard at the back, a camera (with a flash this time) and a chunky 1350mAh battery to keep you going and going. Everything else is pretty much the same as the Diamond – Qualcomm 528Mhz CPU, GPS, FM Radio, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, quad-band GSM, 3.2 megapixel camera and a VGA screen.
So, should you buy one? Well, you’ve probably seen the reviews (like this PCPro one) but we wanted to do something a little different. Today this HTC Touch Pro dropped on my desk so we’ll be doing our “Week with..” feature once more. It’s a simple idea and you may have seen our “Week with the Touch Diamond“. I’ll be using the phone daily, filming a daily blog and responding to your questions along the way. Day 1 will be online tomorrow morning, so let me know what you’d like to see and it’ll be included in the resulting video 🙂
