“One feature Sprint touts with this phone is their popular Sprint TV application. It offers numerous channels from Disney to motorcycle racing. It should have something for just about everyone. There’s even live TV for the major channels and full length episodes for primetime shows. To enable Sprint TV, you must first, annoyingly, disconnect from Wi-Fi networks. It only works with Sprint’s 3G network.”
CNET reviews the HTC Touch Pro 2 and writes;
“The good: The HTC Touch Pro2 for Sprint offers a gorgeous touch screen, a spacious keyboard, and a 3.5 millimeter jack. The Windows Mobile device also features world-roaming capabilities, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The bad: The device is bulky in size and also expensive. GPS acquisition was a bit slow in our tests and ideo streaming wasn’t the smoothest.”

“Call quality on the phone was also very good. We always had solid reception on Sprint’s EV-DO network in the greater Dallas metro area, and the phone kept up with every other Sprint phone we have on hand, registering full reception or only a bar shy of a full load.”

“My experience with the physical QWERTY keyboard on the Touch Pro2 can be summed up in one word: delightful. Never have I used a phone keyboard that was so perfect, from the layout and spacing to the graphics on the keys and the material out of which they are made. They feel just a bit soft to the touch, but they also click down authoritatively, so that you know when you’ve actually entered a letter.”

“The phone is the perfect size for a pocket and works comfortably in almost all hand sizes. It has a gray colored body that looks both professional and sleek. The 3.6-inch 800×400 pixel touch screen is beautiful and is a resistive touch screen and is not multi-touch.”

” the Pro 2 has considerably less weighty than it really is. Due to the strong curves, it is also very good in the hand. Overall, it appears with a smooth black front and the classy silver lining not so playful as its predecessor. The Pro 2 makes this noble and grown from”

Mobile Review reviews the HTC Touch Pro 2 and writes;
“In my opinion, Touch Pro 2 is interesting and attractive in the first phase of its QWERTY-keyboard, it is convenient. Secondly, it involves the ratio of the size and the screen, with a large display managed to retain a measure of compact dimensions of the model. Thirdly, it is one of the few communicators based on Windows Mobile with really high quality by the standards of the speaker phone to someone and this criterion will be important.”

Mobiletechaddicts reviews the HTC Touch Pro 2 and writes;
“TouchFlo 3D is an excellent interface. Windows Professional 6.1 isn’t the most friendly of operating systems and it’s a trifle annoying at times. Finger friendliness is rather low so like most manufactures, and probably the first to do so, HTC has stepped in and tried to make 6.1 appealing to professionals and non-professionals alike.”

“…Is this an iPhone killer? Yes, if you are a Win Mobile devotee. Things that have been a struggle in the past, the virtual keyboard are finally done right. Letter selection is confirmed with a gentle vibration while the selected letter zooms out. When using the browser or addressing email the virtual keyboard adds a .com button to save a you few keystrokes…”

“…Screen: Big wow factor here. The screen is bigger than the iPhone (!). Extremely high mobile resolution (800×480) too. The touch part of it is good, but a capacitive screen would have better. However, it’s not something that will ever interfere with your daily use. I have never used and never had a need for the stylus after one week of use. The zoom slider under the screen is also a pretty neat addition…”

“When I first read about this HTC I’ve decided to wait for it, and it was worth the time. It is in my opinion, simply the best PDA phone available. The versatility is unbeatable. The screen is awesome. You can do anything you want with it. Installing programs is easy and they work perfectly. The basic content shipped is fine for normal use. Touch Flo 3D works perfectly without lags and is very finger friendly. Just be carefull with the languages you want and 3G frequencies available. For anyone looking for a PDA that has Internet 3G and even makes phone calls, I highly recommend it.”
