Flashback to 2009 with the HTC Touch Pro2 and HTC Touch Diamond2
In 2008, the HTC Touch Pro and HTC Touch Diamond were two very successful handsets launched by HTC. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, both featured a 2.8-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 640. Both models came with an Opera browser and a YouTube client. The difference between the two handsets was the physical QWERTY found on the Touch Pro.
Designed for the enterprise, the Touch Pro2 offered HTC's enhanced speakerphone service called Straight Talk which turned on automatically when the phone was placed face down on a flat surface. The feature had multiple microphones and speakers. In addition, the Touch Pro2 could be used like a mini lap top thanks to a tiltable screen. In fact, this is why the AT&T version of the phone was given the HTC Tilt 2 name.
Both phones were launched in May 2009, and for a brief period they were extremely popular. We gave both phones a "9" with our reviews. But less than half a year later, the Motorola DROID was launched and Windows Mobile's days were numbered.
