HTC Touch Pro II Review after 7 Weeks:

Good:  Hooked into corporate network in seconds.   Set up personal email in seconds.   Camera takes excellent pictures.   Both on screen keyboard and pull out keyboard are relatively easy to use.   Screen Picture quality is good.   Picture mail a snap (much better than previous Crackberry),  picture management is good.   Touch screen is good.   Windows Mobile Office Apps work perfectly.  Full motion video capability is good.    Internet navigation is good.  Wi-Fi turns on with ease and works well.   Phone charges on USB port in car.  Uploading to and accessing preferred social networking website is easy (much better than Crackberry).  

Bad:  Sprint store did not have EVO in stock and the Blackberry was dead . . . and this was before latest Samsung whatever it is . . . will now just wait another year for another upgrade (I am a premiere customer).   Battery life sucks.  No flash on camera.   Touchscreen navigation of contacts is cludgy at times.   Phone is bulky.   Phone does not have enough processing power at times.  

Do not care about that many apps, because I am not a phone nerd/geek . . . my life doesn't center around my F'ing Mobile Phone.  

Will be interested to see what Windows Mobile 7.0 does, but will likely get a Droid next time around.  

Will likely upgrade as soon as anniversary date rolls around next year

Overall Grade:  B

Do not care what your comments are.

WP7 is limited to ATT for 2010.  I'd expect Sprint and others to release their WP7's in Q1 11 but wouldn't wait on them.  Early reports have been disappointing.

The Xbox Live stuff is the only reason I'd really consider it. Any other 4.3" Android phones coming that would make me regret getting the Evo?

There won't be a phone released in the next 12 months by any carrier that would make you regret getting the Evo.  It's that complete of a phone.

Sorry if this has already been discussed.

Droid 2 is good if you want a physical keyboard.

Droid Incredible is the best is you want a phone sized phone. I dont like how big the new phones are.

Samsung Fascinate is great too...

So, the first Windows 7 will be released tomorrow and there will be 9 on the market next month.  All 9 will be AT&T?  That seems a bit silly.

Sorry, guess they unveiled the first one today.  And it looks like T-Mobile will get 3, ATT 4, and Sprint 2, at least initially.

ATT will be the only provider at launch.  T-Mob in November, VZN and Sprint in 1Q11.

The show I watched earlier said 9 phones would hit the market in November.  Sorry, I can't say much more cause the volume was turned down.

Kind of a stupid question here-  I broke the little metal hinge thing that locks my battery cover in place.  Can I buy a new one at the Sprint store or do I have to order one?  I called Sprint about this and they said they would see about shipping me one but I hung up after waiting for like 10 minutes.  Dude seemed like a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  :ck:

it's worth stopping by the store and telling them what happened.  they might have one they can give you if you ask.

I was planning on buying an Epic on December 1.  May not if the battery sucks.  (My dad says the battery on his Evo sucks too, BTW.)

Thanks.  Definitely want the physical keyboard. What about that new Droid Pro?
