HTC Touch Pro CDMA Pro Reviews

Joining Sprint and AT&T, Verizon Wireless is now offering the HTC Touch Pro, a full-featured Windows Mobile smartphone aimed at business users. It brings a nice update to the Verizon Wireless XV6800 with the addition of Windows Mobile 6.1 and a sleeker design. Plus, it's fully stocked with wireless options and messaging and productivity tools. Unfortunately, the Verizon Touch Pro lacks some of the services and applications offered by the Sprint Touch Pro and the AT&T HTC Fuze but the bigger issue is that the Verizon Touch Pro simply doesn't deliver when it comes to performance. The smartphone is buggy and frustratingly slow, and it's certainly not worth the pricey $349.99 with a two-year contract. If you're a Verizon customer and need a business-centric smartphone, you'll be better off with the Samsung Saga. You'll lose some of the flashiness of the HTC Touch Pro but at least you'll get a device that can keep up with your demands.

The Touch Diamond and HD may provide the eye candy in HTC’s 2008 lineup, but for business users the all important physical keypad is still usually a must.

With the same basic design as the Diamond, the Pro fattens up a bit due to the full, side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. It also bumps productivity by doubling the ROM to 512MB. For those of you who loved the svelte Diamond but couldn’t part with their keys, the Pro is the device for you...
