Compare Prices : HTC T7272 Touch Pro - Expert Reviews

Review summary: The Touch Pro slider phone hides a full QWERTY keyboard under the 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen, which uses HTC's TouchFLO 3D interface. Integrated GPS, HSDPA, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and TV-out functionality combine with the 3.2-megapixel camera and ...

Pros: Nothing says "I mean business" like a QWERTY keyboard on a phone (or a fez on a monkey). Unfortunately that normally also says "I'm really ugly" (ever seen a pretty monkey?). HTC's solution? Hide it in a sexy sliding mechanism. Like the Diamond, the ...

Cons: The user interface - despite being lifted from the Diamond - is as stubborn as a teenage mule. It was unresponsive to our pinkie swipes and prods, and had terrible lag time - proving more pig-headed than a Lord of the Flies convention. To finish the ...

Verdict: In the Touch Pro, HTC has made a chic and accomplished QWERTY-loaded WinMo smart phone. A shame then that it's overshadowed by the annoyingly stubborn user interface.

Review summary: The HTC Touch Pro brings together innovative touch screen response with the direct precision of keyboard entry… leaving out nothing to deliver a powerhouse communication tool in a beautiful, compact design.The 2.8-inch VGA touch screen provides four ...

Review summary: In trying to bring elegance, usability and practicality to the Windows Mobile smart phone, HTC has hit on a worthy compromise: a touchscreen for navigation and a slide-out Qwerty keypad for typing emails and editing Office documents. Could this be a ...

Pros: Qwerty keyboard ; HSDPA ; Wi-Fi ; GPS

Cons: Lack of flash on the camera ; TouchFLO 3D interface is slow at times
