Reviews

“With a feature set to match its large size, the HTC Touch Pro2 will be a great device for power and business users once it finally hits North America and adds U.S. 3G support.” – (CNET, 2009)

“Sequel is the buzz word yet again, and 2 is still more and better. But then, we can’t help the nagging little feeling that it was a bit easier to say that about the Diamonds than it is with the Pros.” – (GSM Arena, 2009)
