Touch 1

---

He friends - when the first Touch came out I bought it and was so unsatisfied ref. the keyboard that I changed the device - also because the perforamce was pretty slow

Let me ask you - is the No. 2 now faster and much better ???

Hi,

The touch-pro 2 has some hardware improvements, but none concerning it's speed. The software that's delivered by HTC is further optimized and is a lot faster. Also the version of the processor that's included has changed in the TD2 & TP2. This probably means that the processor has been more optimized too.

I expect the TP2 to be faster in use, because of the new well working software (Shell). Next to that, it will be easier to work with because of the bigger screen.

About the keyboard, looking at some video's about pre-releases of the phone, every reviewer says the keyboard is one of the best ever. I haven't seen any lag when people were typing.

I think normal all-day use (agenda, mail, phone, sms, etc) will be faster and more accessible. But gaming, or other 3th party software that requires a lot of horsepower,....... Just don't expect the TP2 to be a lot better/faster. But then again, htc targets the bussines world.

I suggest you look into other topics and look for reviews (youtube: touch-pro2 review), so you can see for yourself.

I'm upgrading from my Hermes . The reason why I won't wait for other 1 gigz phones? Playing 3d games, just won't work on phones cause of the louzy controls and little screen. Other than that, I can't think of reasons why I would want a 1 Gighz phone. Battery will be empty faster and it will take a year before the new processors will be fully optimized. (not to think of the heat the new processors will make)

Specifically, the drivers are believed to have been improved to address some graphics hangups. It's hard to know what any particular user means when they complain about performance.

If, peter, you're referring to the TF3D interface, you'll probably be pleased. There are a ton of video previews out there on youtube now, so head on over and watch it in action. Those videos are the next best thing to actually using one.

So what could your advice be - to wait for the new toshiba with th ebig display, take the diamond 2 or the touch 2 ???

THANKS a lot

Depends, what kind of user you are.

What kind of phone do you have now? Is it with an hardware keyboard and do you message a lot?

What do you do with you current phone? What do you like, what do you miss?
Do you put you phone in you pocket?

I'm also getting the touch pro2 because there aren't going to be many other phones with an hardware keyboard in the near future. As for only touchscreen phones, I would wait. There are comming a lot new phones in the near future.

If you have a fairly recent phone (touch pro 1 for example) I also would wait for a new phone. That's because new phones keep comming and I don't have the money to keep buying new phones.

(as for the slow touch pro 1, try some home cooked roms from this site. There are probably some real fast ones in the tp1 forum).

Does touch pro2 have an hardware keyboard ???

Actually I`m using again my Xperia...

I'm happy to help and inform you, but at least google the phone before asking a question.

Go to HTC.com and go to the HTC touch pro2 page. You'll see all hardware specs.
It costs me and you less time
