Thumbs up HTC Touch Pro

I just wanted to give my opinion of the HTC Touch Pro from Sprint. I have been really impressed with this phone. I have been using WM devices for the past 5-6 years and this is the BEST, by far, I have used. Since MS did not jump on the great interface that the iPhone has HTC has developed this Touch Flo which is laid over top of Windows. It works great and is very well designed. I almost never have to go into the windows interface. Scrolling through the home screen rarely has lag, it looks sleek, camera takes great outdoor pictures, has a cool built in MP3 trimmer app to create custom ringtones, comes with MS voice command. Of course you can always load custom ROM's, reg hack, and all of that good stuff too, but it is pretty solid out of the box. Anyways just felt like sharing.

If you like touch flo 3d, try SPB mobile shell 3 it puts TF3D to shame and its not as buggy.

Just make sure you install the latest beta (3).

I liked TF3D when I first tried it vs the old HTC 6tab home but I found it will get buggy and freeze and the customization of it is difficult.

I got SPB mobile shell 3 and so far im liking it, the only issue i have is the weather app sometime doesnt update correctly. I like having in two today screens.

+1 for SPB Mobile Shell. TF3D is nice and all, but it is just so un-customizable.

I liked it too when I had my Touch Pro, You are right about it getting buggy over time and the more you customize it the faster it becomes bug ridden.

I have been using MS since 1.0 and it's always been great. If you want better weather widget check this out.

I haven't really hacked/customized a phone in so long (ever since I started using Windows Mobile phones, about 5 years). And there you go Radio with an intriguing comment like that.

I may have to try this out down the road. Since things seem to be running good now and I am happy I may wait, but who knows, the curiosity of SPB may get to me

I'm such a SPB fan - I have MS3, Traveler, BackUp, Finance, Diary, Wallet, Phone Suite, Insight, Mobile DVD, and a couple of games. And I own Weather, Time and Plus but don't have them installed because Traveler and MS3 take care of a lot of their functions. And I still have WeatherPanel (the best weather program ever!) on my today screen. SPB programs are always gorgeous and the tech people are extremely responsive. Plus the discounts and freebies they offer when you buy the programs are a real incentive for buying more.

Anyway, another +1 for MS3. - sheureka

I had my Touch Pro the Sunday that it was released on Sprint. Love it and it was far superior over the Mogul I used to have. After a few months, I got bored of it.. but because I procrastinate on hacking/customizing it xD Dang, I need to wake up
