HTC Touch Pro2!!!

Finally got it! My very own HTC Touch Pro 2! :D



Somehow I happened to get a really really good deal on it... :)

I really really missed having a PDA. No more scribbling notes on pieces of paper and stuffing em into my pocket. No more wondering what roads have bad traffic (google maps + 3G + GPS = WIN). No more wondering if something is cheaper online... :p

I really love the TouchFlo interface on this device. It is a great "skin" that makes Windows Mobile 6.1 a lot more finger friendly. Also, I love how you can sync up the contacts with their Facebook profiles (hey everyone has FB these days right?). Really cool stuff. :) Only apps I have installed apart from Google Maps is Facebook for Windows Mobile and Tiny Twitter. Let me know if there are other good stuff out there! :)

One thing though. That 1500mAH battery takes FOREVER to charge. Seriously... But at the same time, battery life seems to be way better than my old HTC device, the XDA II.

T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 = $350????

GTFO.

That's a stupid price. It's a good pda phone but not that good. At that price point, its marketed against pretty much all pda phones in the market with a 2 year contract in the US. A certain "fruit" branded pda phone is only $299 with a two year contract. Just a comparison.

I'm gonna go to bed now.

Read about the pda phone that I won't buy @ $350 HERE... If it drops to a more reasonable price, then I'll be waiting in line. :)

T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2

So according to word on the street (aka press release), the Touch Pro2 is supposed to launch on Wednesday. I along with other T-mobile users will shout our loud "yay it's about freaking time dammit".

However, I am slightly peeved a bit. T-Mobile has always struck me as "Android" centered. Which in and of itself is totally fine. Power to the people who want to use the "free" Google OS. But there are people who need Windows Mobile powered devices. A fine example of the Android-centric nature is the new T-Mobile myTouch 3G which is powered by the latest iteration of Android and is pretty much touted as an improved "G1" sans keyboard. Before the myTouch 3G was released, it was already plastered across T-Mobile's website. I even got an email for a "special" pre-release sale for existing T-Mobile customers that would give me a discount and promise early shipment.

But what about the Touch Pro2's release? Nothing. Only thing I can see on the site is the press release linked at the top of this blog post. No pre-sale. No coming soon. No webpage. No nothing. All I hear is Wednesday at 10am...

If that isn't any double standards, I don't know what is...

Pictures of the Touch Pro2 to further tease myself (and you, the readers).
