In the course of Android and would-be heroes we're about to revisit HTC on their as usual Pocket PC platform. With two diamonds in the crown and two pros on the squad, HTC march towards Pocket PC ascendancy and the Touch Pro2 looks like it has what it takes to lead the drive.

Robust and more striking shell than the original Pro.

Pocket PC is for sure the HTC game, but it sure isn't a one F-1 race. The list of high-flying number 2's is possibly about to be continued with an XPERIA. Alternatively, the launch of the Touch Pro2 is perhaps timed just right to beat another giant from the Symbian support - the N97 Nokia.

Nevertheless, that's just the background. The main thing is how the Touch Pro2 manages and executes tasks.

Key features:

• 3.6" touch screen with 65K-color WVGA display quality.
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and HSDPA 7.2Mbps.
• Wi-Fi and built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS.
• 3.15 mega pixel auto focus camera.
• QWERTY with Five row full, side-sliding keyboard with exceptional quality.
• 288 MB DDR SD-RAM and Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 MHz CPU.
• Dedicated graphics chip with 64MB RAM reserved for graphics.
• zoom bar with touch-sensitive.
• Active stylus.
• Mini USB port.
• Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP.
• Brilliant video playback.
• TV output.
• Micro-SD memory expansion.
• Cool You-Tube client support.
• Opera 9.5 web browser.
• MS Office Mobile document editor

Drawbacks:

• Comparatively bulky weight and huge size.
• No standard 3.5mm audio jack.
• So so sunlight legibility.
• No default FM radio.
• Bad camera quality.
• No flash.

When talking about upgrading, the HTC Touch Pro2 takes a leap forward in screen terms driving up both resolution and size. The return of the tilting screen will sure be applauded. Now, add the revamped and improved exterior.
