Loved the mogul but it smells like old now, thats why i got the iphone 3g, but at the same time i miss all the good stuff that the mogul offers (and when compared with the iPhone 3G, the Mogul is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better)]]>Jul 29th 2008 7:52PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/

Though I'm sure, like every phone on the planet, it has much better battery life than the 3G :-(]]>Jul 30th 2008 3:14AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 31st 2008 5:54PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/but the screen looks kinda small, anybody know what the dimensions are?]]>Jul 29th 2008 7:59PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 8:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 8:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
if you weren't busy fawning over the 3G iPhone you would realize that this is 10x the phone that the 3G iPhone is and look at the specs somewhere...I'll just paste what was already posted above:

Twice the Resolution, over twice the RAM, hardware qwerty, better camera with flash and autofocus, better browser, more applications and application freedom. Sprint seems to be getting this device either mid-October or early November (some rumor suggests September but i doubt that)

No brainer right? ]]>Jul 29th 2008 9:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
First, iphone is $200, im willing to bet this will be over $400. so shove that somewhere.

but now that your idiotic self has made this statement, lets come back in few months and compare sales shall we? i know for a fact iphone will outsell this. weather you think its cool or not, and you can throw all the specs you want at me, it will not outsell iphone.
so go crawl in a hole.]]>Jul 29th 2008 9:46PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/you have to use a stylus? uhm.. ok? thats was cool back in the 90's.
only 4 gb? why do i have to purchase extra memory? that makes no sense. ($400 for phone plus money for extra memory?)

my next gripe, winmo? i would be scared to turn it on. for the sake of everything, you better hope they get android to run on it, thats its only hope.

Third, twice the resolution? you pulled that out of your butt didnt you? i would be surprised if it even matched the iphone's beautiful display, show me the proof. until then this phone is cool, but not an iphone killer. sorry.

HVGA means Half VGA, just like QVGA means Quarter VGA

Sizes: VGA=640x480. HVGA=480x320

The iPhone physical screen is larger. 3.2" vs 2.8" but its form factor is also larger.

So the Touch Pro has a smaller screen with twice the resolution.]]>Jul 29th 2008 10:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 10:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 11:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 11:34PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
you dont want a beautiful large screen? thats a first ..

lets all go back to 5 inch tv screens as well?
can all please move into the future... these phones with small screens are out of date.]]>Jul 30th 2008 12:47AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
Besides I've seen you comment on this phone before and you try to slam it everytime.

Just stop...you're acting like a child. Be glad that someone is trying to beat the iphone, it's better for all of us.]]>Jul 30th 2008 1:36AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 30th 2008 2:47AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
hmm lets see, $400 (possibly) for the touch pro on a $30 sero plan = $1120.
sprint ftw. pull something else out of your butt.]]>Jul 30th 2008 7:34AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
And yes.. I do want a smaller screen for my phone. I am not against big beautiful screens.. i have a 22" widescreen for my desktop and a 42" HDTV. It doesnt need to be that big for a phone. Having used PDAs and smartphones for years now, with large VGA screens, i prefer something smaller.]]>Jul 30th 2008 7:57AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/]]>Jul 30th 2008 7:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 8:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 9:04PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
If youre smart enough to know it was a german thing, then you didnt have to ask. ]]>Jul 29th 2008 9:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
The North American version will have the "Z" and "Y" buttons arranged where they should be (well, at least for us over on this side of the pond (and whomever else)).

I'm also hoping that what's being done for the Diamond Touch in terms of the HSPA radios (850 and 1900MHz bands) will be brought over to the Touch Pro when it's brought over here.

If HTC manages to do that (quad GSM/EDGE and tri or at least NA-dual-3.5G), then it seems (at least from all we've seen online) that we'd be hard-pressed to find anything to complain about.

Can't hardly wait.]]>Jul 29th 2008 9:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 29th 2008 10:46PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/ if you find the phone on a UK site and they list it for 550 ....its wines up being 856.57 american and with S&H your gonna drop a grand any- who so just sit tight and let the google search images keep those waiting on this phone warm at night ]]>Jul 29th 2008 11:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/"HTC Touch Pro also supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE but also dualband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (900/2100 MHz) up to 7.2 Mbps for HSDPA and 2 Mbps for HSUPA. Other features include Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi b/g, an inbuilt GPS receiver as well as an FM radio."

Just so you know, T-Mobile owns the 2100 waves in the USA right now.

PLASTIC !!! and it feels like cheap plastic ..
many keep mentioning the iPhone ..
You can not compare them although the new iPhone 3G is plastic too but not the screen and u dont need a real keybord or a (wtf) stylus ..

this device lives in its own world and there it prob does fair well !! ]]>Jul 30th 2008 7:30AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://www.theunwired.net/?item=videoview-htc-touch-pro-software-and-gui-hands-on) it doesn't look like the stylus is required to navigate the phone.]]>Jul 30th 2008 11:44AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 30th 2008 11:59AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
The $30 SERO plan actually got axed a while ago, so even if it is on Sprint, and you somehow finagle their NEW employee plan, it is 60 bucks a month for the same SERO plan you were referring to. So actually the price becomes pretty much the same between this and the iphone. Once you take ATT network vs. Sprint network into account and your preferences in hardware/software, a decision on the "better" package can be made. Personally, ATT has great service where I live, while Sprint does not. I was planning on waiting for a new HTC on Sprint and then they axed their SERO plan, a.k.a. the only thing they had going for them -- it was the deal-breaker for me.]]>Jul 30th 2008 2:33PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 30th 2008 5:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 30th 2008 5:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 31st 2008 4:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/Jul 30th 2008 7:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/07/29/htcs-touch-pro-gets-toyed-with-on-video/
