Waiting to curve its way to the market of Smartphones the new Sprint’s HTC Touch Pro, possibly in the month of November. Integrated with a full-featured QWERTY keyboard and a high resolution touch screen, the HTC Touch Pro is Sprint’s one of the strongest smartphones. Packed with a variety of features, this smartphone is perfect for business users. It includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and EV-DO and HSPA with 7.2Mbps downstream in addition.

The Sprint’s HTC Touch Pro is integrated with QUALCOMM 528MHz MSM7201A processor, 288Mb RAM, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Operating System (with HTC’s TouchFLO 3D interface feature), ROM of half gig, a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 640 x 480 pixels VGA display of 2.8 inches. The phone has a comparatively large keyboard, which is obviously a positive side of it.

Moreover, it has a fast networking feature, interface looks gorgeous with a dazzling VGA screen. It as been introduced with Opera browser, which is considered to be perfect for phones and the quality of the camera is up to a satisfactory level. There is a ‘select’ button at the center, a scroll wheel and a 4-way button in addition. The calls on the Sprint’s HTC Touch Pro smartphone sounds pretty good.

Despite all its features, the negative side of HTC Touch Pro is that it is a bit heavier and no headphone jack or camera key is included in it. Also at times it seems to be a bit dull in its activity and movement. And seems to be unresponsive at times. There is an interface lag and the buttons are also unresponsive at times. In performance, it is much behind than the Touch Diamond. Keeping aside all the cons of HTC Touch Pro, the TouchFLO 3D interface of HTC is the best User Interface on any Windows Mobile phones so far.
