Exterior
The new Pro is simply beautiful on the front, as the display is huge, there is a black rim around it, this being surrounded by a shiny frame. When taking a look at the sides, we might feel something completely different, as the 17.3 mm thick Touch Pro2 looks like a huge handset: this feeling is further emphasized by its weight of 178.5 grams. The two other sizes (length of 116 mm and width of 59.2 mm) are not that big, but due to its thickness and weight it really looks large. We can’t say anything bad about the materials used, as although it’s basically made of plastic, these are high-quality ones and feel good to touch.
On top of the front panel we can see the phone speaker, which is theoretically made of two separate speakers, these having a great sound quality according to the specs. Besides them there is a status LED, while below we can see a discrete HTC logo and the secondary camera. In the center there is the 480 x 800 pixels large TFT display with a diagonal of 3.6” – it’s a resistive panel which can display 65.536 different colors. Below the display we can see the zooming bar we’ve already met on Diamond2: this is a touchpad which can be used for zooming in or out in applications that support this feature. There are four small buttons on the bottom, the ones on the sides are for accepting/rejecting calls, between them there are the classical Windows and back keys.
The back panel is also a stylish piece. In the center there is a brushed metal part which has the rear microphone, the mute key – details coming a bit later – and the 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. These are surrounded by a grated part, which looks as if the whole thing would be one large speaker – of course it’s not, but there are two smaller speakers beneath it. The external part is made of a somewhat shiny, lacquered plastic, which is a bit slippery, but it basically provides a comfortable grip.
On top there’s the power button, while on the side we can see the volume control keys. The HTC ExtUSB connector (used for the headset, charger and data cable) is on the bottom, and although it’s compatible with standard miniUSB cables, it’s still outdated, it would be high time for HTC to change it to the widely accepted microUSB + 3.5 mm jack duo, but of course they couldn’t sell that much of the already manufactured accessories. We can take the massive metallic stylus out from the bottom left corner: it’s fortunately not a telescopic one.
When sliding the phone open we get to see the QWERTY keyboard, and I can say only great things about it. The “useful” area is large, since the upper part goes a long way, but the layout is also superb. One of HTC’s representatives told us at this year’s Mobile World Congress that they are trying to create something that resembles a “real keyboard”, and I’m happy to announce that they’ve managed to do this. The keys are placed in five rows, thus we can type numbers without pressing any functions keys – and as I have already mentioned, the layout is great anyway, everything is placed logically, I can say that Touch Pro2 has the best keyboard in the range of these types of handsets. Another thing that might be useful for many of you is that the display can be folded (á lá Kaiser), so the handset looks like a kind of mini-computer when put on a table. Otherwise the mechanics has no play, it looks like a really resistant one.
