No flash on the Verizon Touch Pro2

I'm very happy with the HTC Touch Pro2 smartphone on Verizon Wireless. However, I really miss the LED flash that was on the older Touch Pro. I used that LED flash as a flashlight more than a camera flash. If I could change one major thing on the Touch Pro2, I would return the LED flash.

Easily switching smartphones on Verizon with *228 option 3

I was driving to work today and I realized that I left my Touch Pro2 at home. Well, no worries. I pulled out my old XV6900 (AKA, HTC Vogue or Touch) and hit *228 option 3. Within a minute, I was up and running on my old smartphone. There was no need to go back home and grab my phone.

It's become much easier to switch phones on Verizon. It's not as easy as pulling out a SIM card and moving it to another phone, but the *228 option 3 is very convenient. Now, I can use a small and light smartphone when I go for a run and then easily switch back to my larger Touch Pro2 for business use. Brilliant!

Touch Pro2 is the best smartphone on Verizon

I've used many of the smartphones offered by Verizon Wireless. By far, the HTC Touch Pro2 is the best one so far. I'm very impressed by this phone and although it's not perfect, it's by far the best one that Verizon has carried on their network.

I'm eager to see how other smartphones compare. We should be seeing newer versions of the Samsung Omnia along with several other Windows Mobile smartphones this fall.

So, if you're a fan of Windows Mobile, then make sure to check out the HTC Touch Pro2. Don't expect a perfect phone, but you can expect one that has some excellent features!

HTC Touch Pro2 at Verizon Wireless

The HTC Touch Pro2 may be one of the best Windows Mobile smartphones this fall for Verizon Wireless customers. I'm currently using a Touch Pro and I really like it. It's probably the best smartphone I've ever owned. The Touch Pro2 has a larger screen and it will officially run Windows Mobile 6.5 (even though I'm running an unofficial ROM that contains Windows Mobile 6.5 on my current Touch Pro).

I'm eager to see how Verizon prices the Touch Pro2. In the past, they've had a habit of overpricing their smartphones. Now that other devices are averaging $200, will this new device be competitively priced?
