I was a Nokia fan who was waiting for my phone service provider to release the N97. I ended up getting the Touch Pro2 instead because I couldn't wait and now I'm hooked on HTC. It is customised with my service provider's content and serves 1000 different purposes. Brilliant! The radio is also functional, which is a bonus. Two thumbs up.

it comes with a WM 6.5 Pro installed now... hopefully they unlocked the Radio and its camera hidden features like geotagging, Sports mode, etc as well... we, amateurs don't understand about tweaking and modifying advanced gadgets, only how to use it *LOL*

Can you confirm that the HTC touch Pro 2 will run Coreplayer?

It's just Coreplayer website says 1.36 version (latest) not compatible with Qualcomm 7200 chipsets (HTC TP2 is QC 7200A)

I don't want to waste $29 on coreplayer if it won't install - but I need a Divx player app

Wicked phone so far! Hate that they didn't include an 8GB in this one like they did with the HD...but I guess at least we got a nice cover.

Sorry to say but after playing with the iPhone and then owning this one I have to say that it kinda blows the iPhone away a bit. The only thing the iPhone really has going for it is it's screen (quite a pleasure to use as a pure touch phone). Sadly our country can't access the apple store, we have to (and that's HAVE TO) install iTunes before even starting the damn thing up and then we're limited and controlled by Apple (I love Sony but I also hate how friekin' "Dis is mine and you can not change it" they have to be).

Anyway - a very nice change from that useless bloody aging Symbian (and this from my last three phones being Nokias).

My only question is, I see in the Spec sheet that it has Wifi, but will it have Wifi once TMobile gets their hands on it? We all know how much TMobile loves to strip the Wifi off could be great devices. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

i did a live demo of the Pro2
i loved it bcoz i love windows mobile and this is the best ever however i found these drawbacks
heavy
touch screen still far behind the I phone
the camera is modest
the calender is so primitive..
No major advanntage in the the new OS
the processor is still slow..

So if you are a windows mo user this is the best till now

Software on the other hand is a matter of preference. So if camera is so important then take N97. If better keyboard, bigger screen are more immediate priorities, then the TP2.

It's available in Indo with price approx USD 875, compared to N97 only USD 775. I'd really love with Touchpro2 design, but too bad that there are no flash in the camera. Really need to test the quality of the camera, otherwise, I'd be better off to choose N97...what do you think.??? =)

I live in Europe and here Touch Pro2 is about 50$ cheaper then N97. I will probably buy it, because it has Windows Mobile, but if you are not a fan of Windows Mobile N97 might be a better solution.
