Introduction
The Touch Diamond and Touch Pro are undoubtedly game-changers in Windows Mobile land. Soon, VGA resolution will be standard, most phones will utilize accelerometers, and having some sort of Windows Mobile interface replacement will be expected. The Touch Pro is the business device that many have been waiting for. It's got a stellar spec sheet, a beautiful design, and a generous hardware keyboard offering. This is the review you want to read if you want to know everything about the HTC Touch Pro. Read on for our comprehensive review.

Picture Highlights

| The Touch Pro looks almost the same as the Diamond from the front, except for the corners which are more rounded. | Although the buttons are a bit flat, the keyboard is generally easy to use and feels much better than that of the TyTN II. | ||||||

| To start, I have a tip. By default, the color scheme used on the Touch Pro is HTC Black. This makes the top and bottom bar a flat black color, which can give the illusion of a smaller screen because they can blend in with the device itself. | Over on the next tab, we have favorite people, which lets you flip through pictures of your favorite contacts by swiping your finger up and down, kind of like coverflow. Or, to flip through contacts, you can run your finger along the pictures on the right side of this screen. | ||||||
Overall Impression
If you've skimmed the rest of the review, read this section carefully because I am going to offer important advice.
If you don't need the keyboard, and 4GB of memory is enough for you, get the Touch Diamond. It's much thinner, has fantastic on-screen keyboard options, includes almost identical software to the Touch Pro, and it costs less.
With that said, I firmly believe that the HTC Touch Pro is the best business device that money can buy right now. I declared the i-mate Ultimate 9502 the ultimate mobile companion as of May of this year. Today, I declare the HTC Touch Pro the ultimate mobile companion. It's fantastically well-rounded in terms of features and software, plus it's elegant and powerful.
