Cons:
Navigation options are limited. Lacks some necessary software. |

| Conclusion: |
 |
| The HTC Touch Pro on Verizon Wireless is targeting productivity users to a greater extent than the other Touch Pro versions we've tested recently. Still, the phone makes some weird choices that we can't get behind. The keyboard layout is seriously flawed, like someone made a typo in the design process. The phone also lacks some necessary software, like an instant messaging client and perhaps a suite of third-party productivity apps. In stead, this version of the HTC Touch Pro becomes an example of why Windows Mobile is lagging behind. With a few more hardware and software tweaks, this could have been a very good productivity smartphone or a very good all-around smartphone, but especially due to the lack of a clearly defined concept either way, it falls short on both. |
