First 24 hours with my Touch Pro

[blackangst1]

This is really a great flagship phone. Ive used a Mogul for awhile with the "Manila" theme which emulates the Touch Pro, and let me tell you it doesnt do it justice. The touchflo is flawless, and the tilt sensor in the phone is great when viewing photos. Teeter is the best game EVER. All my email synced flawlessly including gmail. All in all my favorite phone ever.

Pluses:
+stylus is magnetic..less chance of losing it, and stick it the side of the phone when using fingers.
+Almost all menu's are easily used my fingers
+Audio Booster for headphones works well.
+Fast
+Auto focus on camera works very well
+Interface is straight forward
+Animation on weather is slick!
+Voice quality about the best of any phone Ive ever used
+Fits nicely in back pocket

Minuses:
-no 3.5mm headphone jack...WTF is up HTC? Friggin USB mini port still? UGH
-cant seem to move the tabs around to preference
-Pics on camera are kind of meh. 3.2 megapixel != good pics...just bigger
-A tiny bit heavy, but you get used to it.,
-A friggin fingerprint magnet



All in all 9/10 for a smartphone IMHO. Good job HTC

How is a USB mini port a negative? It's nice to have just 1 cable for all my devices, especially one that's easily and cheaply replaced if necessary. Proprietary cables are garbage and I can't even fathom why you'd want anything different than a mini usb jack.

Because the mini usb is used for headphones as well as charging, seriously limiting you headphone choices. You can get adapters, but most of them dont support mics, so you have to take off your headphones and disconnect them to take a call. This also puts it at a disadvantage, because without a splitter/adapter, you cant charge it and listen via wired headphones at the same time. And bluetooth stereo soundquality is lacking, especially w/ the MS winmo bluetooth stack. Its better than what it was, but still is eh at best.

Ah, it doesn't have a separate audio jack at all... poor choice.

For the record the stereo bluetooth is great. I consider myself very picky and I have a high end set of BT headphones that sound great. But I like my wired Shure's also sometimes.

Out of curiousity, what is the make and model of your bluetooth stereo headset?

 

[Jinny]

i have a diamond, was trying to decide if i should trade it up for the pro, but i ended up liking it. it has a nice size and no sliding mechanism to worry about breaking or whatever.

anyhow, i'm running a cooked rom, and spb mobile shell.
its way way way faster than out of the box with touchflo3d (CRAWWWLLINNNNGGG)

usb mini? the diamond came with a "dongle" looking segment that will allow you to use regular headphone and charging at the same time....

This is correct. The Touch Pro also comes with a dongle that has the headphones inputs so you can charge at the same time
