1. AMAZING PHONE!!!! BEST VERIZON SMARTPHON!!!
19 Oct 2009 by FANOFTOUCHPRO2
96.7%9.7out of 10
THIS IS AN AMAZING PHONE!!! IT HAS A HUGE 3.6in. SCREEN THAT IS BRIGHT AND HAS CRYSTAL CLEAR COLORS. THE KEYBOARD IS THE BEST ON ANY SMARTPHONE. KEYBOARD LIGHTS UP VERY WELL. (BEST KEYBOARD.....) TILT SCREEN IS GREAT - GIVES YOU A LAPTOP LIKE EXPERIENCE. THE SPEAKERPHONE IS LOUD AND CLEAR. 3.5mm HEADSET JACK IS A BIG PLUS+++++, I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE THE 3D TOUCHFLO - I PREFER THE WINDOWS TODAY SCREEN FOR BETTER CUSTOMIZING. UNLIKE THE XV6800, THIS PHONE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL HARDWARE BUTTONS FOR QUICKER ACCESS TO APPLICATIONS, SO I PUT THE APPLICATION ICONS ON THE FRONT SCREEN FOR QUICKER ACCESS. NOW TO MAKE THIS PHONE EVEN BETTER GO TO www.freewarepocketpc.net AND DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS: SKYFIRE BROWSER (DESKTOP-LIKE BROWSER), EASY TODAY LAUNCHER (LETS YOU PUT APPLICATION ICONS ON FRONT SCREEN), CLEANRAM (CLEANS UNUSED RAM TO FREE UP MEMORY), WKTASK (DESKTOP-LIKE TASK MANAGER THAT DISPLAYS ICONS ON TOP LIKE A COMPUTER FOR QUICKER ACCESS), MICROSOFT BING 6.1, POCKET UNO, POCKET STOPWATCH, TIPSTER, NITROGEN MUSIC PLAYER, MSS CONVERTER, AND METRIX 2 (DISPLAYS BATTERY LIFE, STORAGE, MEMORY AVAILABLE - HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE). FOR ACCESSORIES, GO TO www.ebay.com HAS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU WOULD WANT FOR THIS PHONE (COLOR COVERS, CASES, BATTERIES, CHARGERS, AND MUCH MORE). CAMERA IS NOT SO GOOD. IT HAS NO FLASH, SO PICTURES TEND TO COME OUT DARK AT TIMES. BATTERY LIFE CAN BE SHORT ALSO (LAST 12 - 16 HOURS), SO KEEP A CHARGER HANDY). OVERALL THIS IS STILL AN AMAZING PHONE!!! GREAT JOB VERIZON!!!!!!!!!!

2. What I phone?

I have seen some people try to compare it I phone. Well I own an I phone and bought Touch pro 2 for my verizon line. There are only a few things that keep this phone from being a true equal to I phone. One the browser is not as good. I phone blows it away. Now let me say this the phone blows the Iphone away, much clearer and sounds much better. As far as screen the glass is much better. Picture is pretty equal. I think the Pro 2 is a fine phone but I phone is better meida device. It would have been nice to have gotten an upgrade in speed from last one.This phone is a great phone in it's own right.I hate to see people be unfair when comparing phones. This phone is well worth looking at. I would give a slight edge to Pro 2 for business. My personal choice is I phone because I like to browse a lot. Both have their pluses.

TP2 + SPB Mobile 3.5 = best phone of Verizon's lineup. I was waiting for the Storm 2 until a collegue showed me the TP2. I haven't used Windows Mobile since the Samsung i730. Windows Mobile apparently hasn't progressed much in all these years, but that has not diminished my excitement for the TP2.
Fast proc.
Great keyboard
Opera a decent browserCamera slow and low res
Doesn't work with Pandora or Slacker

I purchased this from Verizon.com, which was a breeze by the way, and got it the next day. I am new to smart phones, so it has been a bit of a transition from an EnV Touch. I am really loving this phone. I installed SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 and it transformed into my favorite phone to date! Love it!

All I see is how wonderful it is from other reviews. It makes me think they are blind to the screen that is not responsive.
When you open the keyboard the on off screen button is under your finger so you are always turning it off for no reason.
The software is very sluggish. If you sit at a desk then it may work but why not use a full size computer. As a true mobile phone it is not. Compared to the iPhone aps are a pain to load. The android phones seem to have it down better then windows. Big surprise Bill.
KeyboardTry again. This will be a short lived phone.

6. Almost perfect, but Verizon makes it bad

I am the guinea pig trying out the HTC Touch Pro 2 by Verizon for my company. Currently, we use AT&T, and although the rest of the staff use Black Jacks, I use the old HTC 8525.
Generally speaking, this device is one of the greatest phones I have ever seen or used. It is definately the next evolution of an already great device! Having been using it for two weeks, I am still amazed by the robust features. Look out laptops, this little machine even supports Remote Desktop.
Unfortunately, I can not get Active Sync to function if I have more than a handful of folders in my Outlook tree set to Sync. We have even tried a complete re-install of Microsoft Office on our computers and checked our Exchange Server for any issues. As a further test, I double checked to confirm that my AT&T 8525 and this phone's Active Sync were set up the same way. Still the 8525 works but the TP2 does not.
I have spent hours trying to figure this out, and even the staff at the Verizon store couldn't find a problem. They not only really didn't seem to care, the only thing they offered was to provide me with the number for some 3rd Party contractor that builds some of their programming if it was really a problem. What a joke! Working in sales myself, there is no way that I would tell one of my customers to contact some company that produced product for me. And on top of it, that company has no support for any HTC phone on their site.
As an outside sales rep, I rely on my phone to keep me fully engaged. Without Active Sync being able to handle my needs like it does on my 3 year old HTC, this phone is nothing more to me than a pretty toy.
It's unfortunate that Verizon doesn't seem to care that it has sold me an incomplete package, nor that they could have had the nearly $10k / year we spend with AT&T.
This machine is being returned and will be replaced by the AT&T Tilt 2.
Darn near anything you can think of.Active Sync and MS Update don't work.

The TP2 is the most AMAZING phone I have ever owned.
Battery life is amazing for a smart phone, 2-3 days easy on normal use including internet,misc calls, and lots of text messaging.
The video quality is nothing less then amazing.
the sound quality is also superb.
Apps are easy to find and install, and the browser and internet work very well together.
I haven't had one problem with this phone thus far, and cant see it being replaced for quite awhile!
Everythingsize/weight. still completely worth it because of everything this phone can do!

9. Great phone

First let me say if you havent bought phone you shouldn't post review. Please use first and give it a try. No this is a great phone and I am surprised that Verizon brought it out. In some ways it is compariable to the I phone( Which I own a 3g and 3gs).Apple software is a little more polished but this phone is very good. Screen has a great picture to me about same as I Phone. Keyboard is the best i have used or seen. Call quality is the best I have heard in a long time. Better than I Phone. Music is very good on this phone. I think I Phone has edge on that , there software is better. The You Tube on both are very good. I love being able to make your own ring tones on pro 2. This is the first phone Verizon has brought out that I really feel is close to their rivals. Takes a little while to learn how to use but it is well worth looking into if you want a smart phone.
Browsing is good not as easy as IPhone but better than any other phone I have used.
I know I have talked about I Phone too but wanted people to know this is a good phone and does some things as well as I phone. I do think the apps for it are more expensive than the ones for I phone. If you are looking for a great smartphone on Verizon check this one out.

This phone is the best I had the Mogul but I got impatient waiting for the Pro so I stupidly bought the Instinct now I back with the Pro 2. Boy am I happy not only with my discount through my job making the price much lower but there are ALOT of things you can do that are hidden or right there in your face no review has said. I feel complete again.
Jetcet Print program
zoom function for web and text
EVERYTHING!!!!no memory card like other phones
no headset like other phones
no case like other major smart phones
