[Verizon] HTC Touch Pro 2

Great phone. I've had the unlocked version for a while now.

I hope verizon didn't cripple this phone like they do with all their phones.

Let me know if you find any cool appz.

this phone doesnt appear to be any different than tmo or sprints.

Unlike the previous.

First impressions:

1 - this phone is solid. Both in weight (it's a little heavier than the XV6800/TyTn2 it replaced) and in how it works.

2 - Call clarity is as good or better than the 6800. Signal pickup seems to be a hair better - and the 6800 was already good. I get a better signal indoors than I used to.
b - I use the phone as a tethered modem to a laptop while (train) commuting - and while speed tests seem to be about the same, it "feels" more responsive and faster.

3 - The keyboard is a MAJOR improvement over the 6800. No double entries or skips. It feels very natural in your hand. The on-screen pop-up keyboard is also much better - probably due to the larger screen area - it's not so cramped - especially in landscape mode. If necessary, I can one-hand thumb-type on the on-screen kb - which was next to impossible with the 6800.
The tilt screen (which was a feature of some TyTn2's but not Verizon's version) is a big plus.

4 - The 'Touch-Flo 3D' interface, sitting on top of WinMo 6.1, is a pleasure to use. It takes a little adjustment from the default WinMo interface of the 6800 - just finding where things are. It works nicely, and some iPhone owners who were intrigued with my phone and played with it gave generally favorable comparisons - "It's not an iPhone, but not far off and I could get used to it" was a common reaction.

So - after about a week and 1/2 of medium duty use - so far I'm favorably impressed and very happy with the choice.

When I have time I'll start playing with apps (thanks to Alcohol for the link).
