I would say, so far, This is the most Daring and Dashing Logo ever done for any occasion by any company on the Internet. Also biggest risk taken by any company to play with the Company Identity. I think it should be the best logo ever in the Top Official Google Logos.

What do you think?

1. Does it really cost Rs. 100,000? (About $2,000)?
Yes, but that’s for the base model, without tax. The higher-end versions will cost more.

Bought it for the price of 32,500/- in Jagdish Market, Hyderabad with bill and warranty. Though it was locked with Idea network, the distributor provided with the unlock code. Also bought an 8GB SDHC memory card so that I don’t have to worry about memory usage for things like MP3s, Photos or Movies.

Personally, I think the phone is great and is upto my expectations or even a little more than my expectations. After my old Samsung SGH E880 died 6 months back, I was using my wife’s Sony Ericsson W580i, she was kind enough to not let me use an old Nokia phone which I am not so comfortable with. Thank You Sweetheart. She says, the purpose of a mobile phone really is to make calls and receive calls. What else would you need from it (when I was looking at options in business phones which are all highly priced)? But never did she discourage me from buying the HTC and now she agrees HTC would be helpful for both of us to check emails on the go and do a lot more than just calls. So we think its worth the 6 month wait (since I knew it was going to launch) though I had other options for a business phone which I ignored.

Anyway, coming to the features, you cant except more than what’s already there on the phone given the exception of the “not the best camera for a premium segment phone (anyway, its a business phone)” and the “battery backup which lasts only for a day”. But developers at the XDA forum say that the custom ROMs and a few tweaks on the phone will improve the performance of the battery (I didn’t test that yet). But I see a lot of people giving good feedback on the customizations.

Few things that I love on this phone are:

1. The resolution (VGA). I love that!
2. The full QWERTY keyboard. I think I am atleast 5 times faster now when it comes to sending messages, typing names or sending emails on a mobile phone.
3. The Touch Flo App, its graphics and The Touch Screen itself.
4. Browsing and emailing, Best in all phones till now which I have seen.
5. Better hardware, so better performance when you are running resource hungry applications.
6. The TV Out (haven’t tested this yet).
7. The G-sensor based games: Teeter (default on Phone) and Resco Bubbles (downloaded one), I don’t know if there are more of these games, need to explore that. Also, the Pocket Uno (touch based game) is really good on this phone.
8. And all those Microsoft mobile features which makes this phone a tiny laptop.

I would like to thank the people at GSMArena.com for their detailed review which really helped me in taking a decision in September to buy the phone.(Yes there are hundreds of other reviews and videos but this one is really detailed). That’s really very very useful review guys.

“The Touch Pro quite deserves every penny you spend on it. There is no better device on the market in this class (yet) and if this is the kind of phone you are after – just go for it.”

Thanks a Ton Guys!

So that’s about it. What do you think of your HTC Touch Pro?
