If you are familiar with PTI, you know that Fast Follower and I started this with an intense smartphone debate. Both of us have been chasing the perfect smartphone since we both purchased our Treo 300s! If you read my recent post (http://pardontheinteraction.wordpress.com/2008/09/10/ptiers-time-for-a-new-smartphone-mogul-or-800w-i-need-your-help/, I was struggling with a decision between the new Treo 800w and the HTC Mogul. iPhone was never an option. Just wasn’t convinced that the touchscreen keyboard would fulfill my high business use demand. I tried and tried, but my fingers must be too big.
During my investigation, I stumbled across information about the new HTC Touch PRO. PRO is the objective word here. The HTC Touch PRO not only features a great touch screen experience for casual/recreational use, it also packs a slide out keyboard (just like my old HTC 6700) for times when I have to grind out accurate quick text. This thing packs everything… wifi, touch screen, keyboard, gps, camera, and a lot of other cool features. Also, Windows Mobile 6.1 seems to be a LOT more stable than previous versions. After two weeks of use, I don’t recall any lockups or mysterious reboots which were so prevalent in prevous versions.
A simple search will result in several debates that tout the Touch Pro as a legit iPhone competitor. I happen to agree. I would like to hear what you fellow PTIers think. Chime in and let the debate begin!!!
