I bought the HTC Touch Pro 2 and it arrived last Monday via Fedex. Fedex wouldn’t let me pick it up myself on Saturday and they wouldn’t deliver it until Monday even though they had the package here in Boca, but anyway that is a whole other story.

So TOUCH PRO TWO. Just say it a few times. So far I love the phone. It is an awesome phone with a beautiful screen. It takes good pictures and videos. It also has probably the best hardware keyboard on any smart phone out right now. The slide out keyboard is a 5 row qwerty keyboard with keys spaced out. The screen also can be tilted at an angle with keyboard slid out but I haven’t felt the need to tilt it much yet. I got it with Verizon’s new every two which means I got an additional $100 off the phone price for a total of $99 plus tax. The phone weight can be felt, especially coming from a small Samsung flip phone, but it feels pretty solid. The phone runs Windows Mobile 6.1, and is supposed to get an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5 but that has not been released yet.

So now I am on the boat of those paying an additional $30 for a data plan, which was my biggest hold up of getting a smart phone as I don’t really need it. Anyway here are some pictures of the phone. Oh sorry, smart phone!
