Advantages: Easy to use, Windows Mobile 6, Office Mobile, Google maps, Keyboard

Disadvantages: Chunky, Small screen

I currently have this work this phone for business. I also have an iphone as personal. Although I feel it isn't in the same league as the iPhone, it is still a good phone. It features windows mobile which I find really easy to use, WinMo is full of useful features for example internet explorer, office mobile and google maps. Most probably the best feature for this phone is the ability to sync to the exchange server using activesync which is a must have for business phones.
Although there are many other smartphones out there the main competetor to this phone was the balckberry, we looked into that hard, it costs so much to setup.
The HTC Touch Pro is so easy to setup, I think to setup the emails for exchange was a 5 or maybe 6 step wizard. So it was really straight forward, i managed to set it up first time.
The Touch flo screen certainly makes life a little easier, and it also looks great too.
The keyboard is a massive plus for me personally, a client of ours had the diamond (which has no keyboard) and it was horrible using the small touch keyboard onscreen. The slide out keyboard is very simple to use and the keys are well spaced out so there are no double button pressing.
The camera is good too, takes some good quality photos for a 3.2 mgp camera.

The things I don't like about the phone are: Is the size of it, it is a fairly chunky phone, I just hope the updated versions are smaller than this one. Oh yes and also the annoying notifications to download the GPS update every week, I'm sure you can turn this off, but it does get annoying. Also the screen could be a little bigger. They could have got rid of the buttons at the bottom of the phone, as I actually never use them, and make the screen bigger.

Summary: HTC are pretty good phones
