Touch Pro is realy good phone. it has good network reception and voice clarity is great. I found it to be good to work with.
After touch, I was looking for something that has full keyboard and other features like wi-fi etc. camera was not that priorit for me. I wanted something that allowed me to browse on the move, access my mails and cha with friends on IM.
I was willing to spend about 15000 or so. Somehow I didnt like nokia E series. my brother has nokia E71 but I was not appealed by it. the problem is that it has same old Nokia interface, which in a way is good. but I found it to be too primitive. its 2009 and you have interface hat dated what 2002 or so..
But many people like that. other option was blackberry but the budget was not that high. and mind you once you use windows mobile, you dont like anything else. there you can custmose the way you want. BB is quite simple and easy to operate but cannot customise it. I liked the touch pro itnerface which is very similar to viva and other.
Now I will review each feature:
Network reception & Sound:
Network reception is as good as my touch. id dint find any problem with network reception. neither I face and call drop problem or not able to heare the caller. even opposite said I was clear and no problem like echo. sound is clear and loud but not noisy. the clarity is excellent.
Keyboard:
it has touchflo 3d interface with lot of menus on the screen. it also has full qwerty keyboard with 5rows of keys. the size is decent and not too large and not too small. when you slide out hte keyboard, the screen automatically changes to landscape/horizontal mode. there are four buttons (accept, reject, home and back) and one "track ball" type button just below the screen. the area srrounding the track ball is used as navigation keys (up/down/right/left).
on the side you volume control that also allows to put phone on silent/vibrate mode.
the best feature I found is that whenever any calls come you can put the phone on table, screen down and it goes into silent mode. no need to press any button, just turn the phone. you also have slider on the screen to reject or accept incoming call.
screen:
screen is quite large and very bright. the color displayed are also excellent and no problem in viewing in sunlight. the sensitvity is also good and better than touch.
other features:
other features like wi-fi net connection are good. it comes with pre loaded opera and IE. opera may litlle trick y for normal users but cna be work around. wifi reception is also good and easy to connect. it also has stylus. bluetooth has no problem whatsoever.
further you can see part of SMS and emails on the top screen and you can reply/delete etv. from the screen. no need to open entire inbox. that realy good. you can setup multiple email accounts like hotmail, gmail, your corporate account etc.
Camera (changing it after using):
Earlier I had said camera is not good. but over a period I found that its not bad at all. you get good quality and good flash. dont expect much from flash. attached 2 samples.. good snaps with flash
Battery:
I found battery to be very low. even as per specs, the battery has less power compare to touch. if you use lot of wi-fi and data, then surely your battery will drain fast. even the game, Teeter, which superb game drains battery faster.
Overall:
Its good build and little heavy. camera is weak. if price is contraint then go for this otherwise wait for TOuch Pro 2. it is said that lot of issues of pro has been solved in pro 2. but mind, it is rumoured that windows mobile 6.5 will be available for pro also.
