Touch Pro2: A Smoother Operator
The Touch Pro2's exterior improvements go beyond just a more rounded form and a different color scheme, to a dedicated conference-call button and a zoom bar for viewing webpages, images and Google Maps. The display is now a 3.6-inch WVGA unit (that's 800 x 480 pixels), up from 2.8 inches and VGA resolution previously. In a hark back to TyTN II days, it also tilts upwards for easier viewing on a desk or lap.
Under the hood, both RAM and ROM capacities remain the same at 288MB and 512MB respectively, while the Qualcomm 528MHz processor soldiers on as well. A microSDHC slot is available for cards of up to 16GB or more. Other items of interest that have been retained include the GPS, an accelerometer, the FM radio and a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto focus but with the flash LED omitted. In essence, most of the underlying features have hardly changed from the original version.
All connections are made through a miniUSB socket; there's no 3.5mm stereo jack. At 116 x 59.2 x 17.25 mm, the Touch Pro2 is just over a centimeter longer and a tad wider and thinner than the original Touch Pro, and gains 10 grams to tip the scales at 175g.
If you're looking to get your hands on a Pro2, you'll have to hang on just a while more - HTC says that it will be available in June 2009. The suggested retail price is S$1,328 including GST. That's quite a sum indeed and we'll find out in due time if the price tag matches up to its capabilities when we get the final review unit for evaluation.
