Advantages: great featureset, windows operating system, well built

Disadvantages: bugs and more bugs, hopefully a firmware revision will solve.

The HTC touch pro is packed with features and the windows operating system to boot, as a concept it is great and it allows you to browse the web, send emails, view audio and video, take photos and much more!

The execution however leaves a number of frustrating bugs, the first being that the touch screen is not disabled when the phone rings causing missed call or worse call answered in your pocket! The touch interface is a little clunky and unresponsive at times but this could be down to having a number of applications open in memory.

The phone itself is extremely well made and seems to be hard wearing, I have mnaged to scratch the touch screen a little but it does not seem to affect operation, this could be cured with a screen protector. The keyboard is conveniently laid out and esy to use, the touch feel of the keyboard is solid and reassuring when you type, unlike the touch screen keyboard function which is difficult.

In short a good phone with a great featureset, I am hoping firware updates will address the bugs as this feels like a test model without all the bugs ironed out.

Summary: Good, not great.
