Now that I have had it for some time, I can give my thoughts about how it is.<br /><br />The Good:<br /><br />3.8" WVGA Touchscreen: EPIC size display for a Windows phone with a mega huge resolution! This I will miss the most.<br /><br />Slide-out Keyboard: This is probably the very best slideways keyboard I have ever typed on! Keys are light to press, raised enough to feel, and don't hurt your hands after literally hours of typing on it! Also, it has underscore(_)! Oh, and the screen tilts up to make seeing the screen easier!<br /><br />Quad Band GSM and 3G World Roaming: Overkill much? When you unlock this baby (and you should), it can go anywhere!<br /><br />528 MHz Processor: It's a good, fast CPU, and it doesn't run as hot as the first Touch Pro.<br /><br />256 MB RAM: Tons of Memory, with the right ROM, you can have 140 MB of free RAM! Excellent for extended Opera Mobile browsing binges!<br /><br />Modding Support: As if the first Touch Pro wasn't totally mod supported, the TP2 aka Rhodium is very popular to mod, with custom ROMs galore (including a Verizon MR2 tweak ROM that fixes the Sleep of Death problem the stock MR2 update ROM has), even including running Android 2.2 and Ubuntu 9.04 Linux from a memory card!<br /><br />The Bad:<br /><br />No Flash: This is a big bummer. No flash means no flashlight. Turning a white screen around is not as effective as a super bright LED.<br /><br />Keyboard: The keys are too low in height, and it makes it easy to hit the key above or below the one you are typing, so you often get numbers with the top row letter5s if you are not careful.<br /><br />Touch Screen: While the screen is big, it is a resistive touch display. This means screen calibration. This means trouble clicking on tiny links. At least the phone has a stylus to help those with paws touch the screen :P<br /><br />Sleep of Death: The phone's hardware requires a specific startup sequence when exiting standby. Get it wrong and it goes to a coma until you battery pull. Fixing SOD is a black art few ROM makers know.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=38599#review38599 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=38599#review38599 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:17:25 GMT <p><i>eyeofthejew17 submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>As an owner of this phone and a cellular salesman I have sold this phone as well as used it extensively. The Htc TP2 has much potential that never fully gets realized.<br />Pros:<br />Office Mobile..nuff said<br />Screen display actually looks purrty nice<br />slide out qwerty keyboard is one of the best ive used<br />sound is actually pretty decent also<br /><br />Cons:<br />should have made the touchscreen heat sensitive..pressure sensitive screens are awful for txting<br />Going from messaging to any other application or vice versa usually results in the phone locking up and requiring a soft reset<br />General locking up of the phone and awful, awful lagging throughout most of the phones functions.<br />Lack of applications and how expensive some are<br /><br />All in all there are some things that make this phone great but the overal lagging and crashing makes this phone a pain to own. Whenever I have to peform a soft reset on the phone by taking the battery out several times a day, its just not worth it. My advice....stay away from this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=38022#review38022 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=38022#review38022 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 18:21:41 GMT <p><i>wmsprint submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Sprint CDMA Touch Pro 2 - WM6.5<br /><br />I have pretty much gave up on HTC Sense after updating to WM6.5. Running just the stock WM6.5 without Sense is the way to go. I do miss the fancy icons and display animations from Sense, but I am no longer experiencing extreme lags, freezes, or SOD (screen of death) lockups. This phone is actually usable again.<br /><br />Browser experience has improved dramatically after installing the newest version of Opera Mini. Mini comes loads up fast and is the quickest browser I came across.<br /><br />Speakerphone is loud and clear.<br /><br />Battery life, just like any smartphone, will barely get you through one day with casual usage. Keep a charger or extra battery handy. Nightly recharge is a must.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37997#review37997 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37997#review37997 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 20:07:01 GMT <p><i>Rexmc75 submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have been a Sprint customer for almost 5 years now and now on my 3rd TP2 due to freezing problems.

Phone was a dog and super slow. Updated to WM 6.5 2 weeks later and the phone was better but still a dog. Freeze ups, super slow you name it. I disabled the HTC sense weather app and Boom phone is working great. Disable a few other Sense options and no more hang ups or freezing like before. Granted I was getting a few freeze ups here and there, But overall the phone was working as expected. Enter SPB mobile shell 3.5. Since installing this app its like a brand new phone. Highly customizable, fast, never hangs up i mean its like a whole new OS on top of WM. I have been running for 3+ weeks now without any issues whatsoever. The only lag you get still is when you slide out keyboard and screen goes landscape. Once you learn how to use the SPB app and customize your phone you will love your TP2 again. This SPB app is awesome and really makes your phone yours with all the customization. The contacts list is a bit clunky ( better than WM but not HTC) but you can set up different custom contact screens with photos that cures that. I was ready to switch phones and now i can enjoy my TP2's keyboard. Which in my opinion is the best keyboard of any cell phone hands down. Now I can stay out of contract and wait out the Iphone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37745#review37745 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37745#review37745 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:00:12 GMT <p><i>Tiggerspiglet331 submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is one of the worst but yet best phones I've ever had.<br />I started off with the Samsung Intrepid, another Windows Phone, loved it until I had to replace it 5 times in 3 weeks.<br />So I was switched to this phone. I'm getting another different type of phone tonight, since this phone is crap as well.<br />Windows needs to fix their phones!! Its SLOW! I'm so tired of having to pull the battery out 10-15 times A DAY!! I'm serious too! <br />Every time I get multiple texts, as in 2-4 texts, the stupid thing locks up and I have to pull the battery out! Any time I get a picture message, it locks the phone up and I have to pull the battery out! The home buttons are very slow to respond, the internet is good as long as you don't use Internet Explorer and you download Opera. I've had this phone for 4 months now and I can't wait to get rid of it. Plus, there is NO accessories for it, they have it for every other phone but not this one. <br />It will shut itself off a lot and you have to, again, pull the battery out and sometimes it won't fix it so you have to do it again and repeat until it powers back and stays on! Come on Windows, get with the program here!!! I want a functioning phone! I'm switching to an Android phone now, they have all the same stuff as this phone plus sooo much more! <br />If I were you, I'd run as fast as you can AWAY from this nightmare of a phone!! <br />Also, you can't use the phone as a modem like you are supposed to be able to do, it won't ever find a connection to the computer, and I've tried it on 3 computers multiple times, and nothing. :(</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37721#review37721 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37721#review37721 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:02:56 GMT <p><i>narn3049 submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Simply astonishing device.

The other option is to have a custom rom installed and it removes all of the junk that causes the problems with the stock rom, and there are plenty custom roms out there on the net, you need to be a little techy for this, but with a little research you can make this phone perfect.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37175#review37175 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37175#review37175 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:57:49 GMT <p><i>tributeml submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros:<br />beautiful screen<br />nice camera<br />good keyboard<br />Htc Sense (when it stops freezing up)<br />loud speaker<br />Cons:<br />The problem i find with this phone is that it is confused on whether it wants to run W.M. or htc sense. The two CONSTANTLY clash and cause the phone to freeze, which then requires a battery pull. <br /><br />The shortcuts between sense and Wm are ridiculous, none of them go together properly. <br /><br />The power button is frustrating when you are texting on the keyboard. If you move wrong, there goes your text. thanks.<br /><br />The task manager isn't in the corner (where it should be, and may i add, where there is room for it. windows mobile 6.5 decided to just leave that space blank and force you to try and find the task manager on your own through the shitbox of htc sense/windows mobile rubbish.)<br /><br />The processor.. thanks for this fantastic Ferrari with the 2 stroke engine in it!" <br /><br />some third party apps are required to get around the stupid "features," of the phone. some of these features include, the clock which when you turn the phone on, sets itself 1 hr &amp; 2 mins behind current time, and if you have 2 programs running it is a choppy animation which causes the phone to run slower. Another feature is when the "New Message" icon on the sense UI bar doesn't go away, no matter what you do.<br /><br />The battery, rubbish.<br /><br />Browser is painfully slow, and usually doesn't respond to anything else but a stylus, and some of the time, that doesn't work unless it's zoomed in 700x.<br /><br />The windows mobile contact program doesn't recognize sim card contacts.. so it basically says you have contacts when you run it, so it is impossible to search through them to find somebody.<br /><br />Sometimes when you open the phone, it decides by itself it wants to open the camera/browser/phonepad/sms. (it's moody)<br /><br />windows mobile marketplace.. lol<br /><br />The cons make me think that HTC and Windows Mobile don't test any of their products before they put them for sale. For day to day use, this phone is incredibly frustrating.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37126#review37126 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=37126#review37126 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 05:40:58 GMT <p><i>benjfoster submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I ordered this phone the first day it was available.

Touch screen is a pain. Navigation is bad. If you don't go to a certain icon on a regular basis, you will be searching for a long time trying to find where you were before. First day had to take it back to the store because internet explorer wasn't working. This is the 4th day and I'm going to have to take it back again due to the email sending words and symbols and nobody can understand the texts that I send from this phone.

WM 6.5, IMO, is garbage. It is not that different from the original Pocket PC OS, and is really beginning to show it's age.

A hefty $349 price tag with a two-year agreement is hardly worth paying for a phone that doesn't even ship with WM 6.5!!<br /><br />PROS:<br />> This device is definitely built with quality in mind. It feels sturdy and seems very durable.<br />> The TouchFLO responsiveness is actually the best I've seen to compare to Apple. (Meaning it still doesn't come close, but is the best effort I've seen so far).<br />> Excellent speakerphone. Loud, crisp and clear.<br />> Slide-out QWERTY keyboard is best in its class!<br />> Has many overall, customizable options. (Although you must search deep for them).<br />> Responds fairly quickly to Sprint's EVDO 3G network.<br />> Ability to sync your contact data with Facebook in just one action (as long as that name matches EXACTLY!)<br />> Battery life is not all too bad for a guzzling SmartPhone!<br />> Cool, practical features such as automatic speakerphone activation when placing the phone face down on a surface, or implementing the "notes" feature when removing the stylus during a phone call.<br />> Screen is simply amazing. Mine was flawless... not one dead/stuck pixel!!<br /><br />CONS:<br />> As mentioned plenty of times, its size will take plenty of getting used to. (But I don't mind it at all!)<br />> Sound quality during a call is crisp, but can be overshadowed by a substantial "hiss" in the background. (Evident in all units I've tried.) Seems the internal amplifier and overall earpiece volume isn't adjusted properly. (Amplifier set too high.)<br />> Phone gets fairly hot with usage.<br />> Many of its good practical features suffer from lags no thanks to Windows!!<br />> Email pushing is not completely accurate. (i.e. have it set to every 2 hours but may not actually update for the entire day.)<br />> Too many bugs still exist.<br /><br />Overall, a great effort by HTC, but hindered by the WM platform and definitely not worth the hefty $-tag of what should be the FLAGSHIP phone at that value.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=36189#review36189 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2185&r=36189#review36189 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 04:13:57 GMT <p><i>MadFatMan submitted this review of the HTC Touch Pro2 (CDMA):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>If you bought the Touch Pro In Late 2008 Like I did and felt a little "duped" you know what it is that I speak of.<br /><br />There was no real difference between the Mogul and the Touch Pro other than a beta version of Touch Flo 3D whick was little more than a skin that you could not shut off or delete and a faux chrome finish that chipped off.

Most recently upgraded from the HTC Touch Pro, which I would have rated at 3.5 stars. The Touch Pro 2, while not flawless, is a device you should definitely consider if having a hardware keyboard is a priority. I have owned this device for nearly four months, and have held off writing this review until the WM 6.5 upgrade released. I wanted to make sure Verizon and HTC made good on their promise before giving a glowing recommendation. While the upgrade adds a few benefits, I was very happy with the device running WM 6.1, and rarely left the comfort of HTC’s sense UI. Before upgrading I would have given the device 4.5 stars due to the buggy Bluetooth operation, but this issue appears to be fixed with the upgrade. Here is my take on the pros and cons, bearing in mind the pros are major, and the cons minor.<br /><br />PROS<br />The device feels substantial and well built, particularly the sliding mechanism. <br />HTC’s Sense UI â€" An attractive and intuitive interface allowing control of nearly every phone function.<br />Slide out keyboard is best I’ve used. The buttons are large, well defined, and provide good tactile feedback. <br />Display is large and crisp.<br />Battery life is quite good, significantly better than the Touch Pro it replaced.<br />Speakerphone is phenomenal. I can use the speakerphone in my vehicle for hands free calls.<br />Easily syncs with exchange server. <br />Microsoft My-Phone<br /><br />CONS<br />Windows Marketplace is a step in the right direction, but lags far behind competition in both quantity and quality of apps. <br />HTC’s application for SMS does not paste a signature onto the text. I find myself leaving the app and going to the WM SMS app which does apply the signature line.<br />Sleep/backlight button is positioned where it can be pressed inadvertently when typing on the slide out keyboard. <br />Volume rocker is poorly implemented. Very little travel and feedback leaves you wondering if you have pressed the button at all.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=2185
