Review: HTC Touch Pro2

Form Basics Extras Wrap Up Comments 18

TouchFLO 3D gives you a couple of avenues to take towards your messages. Text and MMS messages are funneled into the messaging application. When you scroll over to the Messaging app, the latest message will be displayed on the screen, along with a list of unread messages. You can swipe up or down through the messages to view them. There's also a button at the top of the screen that lets you launch a new SMS message. The actual screen used to compose messages has not been fancied up by HTC, and is a stark WinMo app. Thankfully, threaded messaging is included.

The TP2 supports instant messaging, and clients for AIM, Google Talk, MySpace IM and Windows Live Messenger are all pre-loaded. They worked fairly well.

The email application is robust. The TP2 can sync with Microsoft Exchange servers for business emails, and can also handle pretty much any POP3 or IMAP email account you care to throw at it. The TouchFLO 3D inbox is very nice to look at. You have animated letters that appear in envelopes, and you can read the headline and first few lines of text in each of these letters. If you tap the message, it will open up in the Windows Mobile email program.

You can set up a number of email accounts, and each account will be listed separately along the right side of the email inbox so you can change between accounts faster.

There are no pre-installed social networking applications such as Facebook or Twitter, but those are easy enough to find on the web. Still, it would be nice to have them already on board.
