My Summarized Review on the CDMA HTC Touch Pro
(HTC Raphael)
My 4th Windows Mobile Professional Smart Phone
(Verizon Version e.g...Verizon xv6850 Released on November 24th 2008)
I have owned.
- Pros:
- 3.2 MP Camera With Flash Light & Auto Focus
- Nice Size, Fits Nicely in
the hand
- 5 Row Qwerty Side Slide out HW Keyboard
- 2.8 480x640 VGA TFT Screen
- Light Sensor (which aids in auto screen adjustment, as well as other
utilities that my use it for other things)
& Tri-Axis Accelerometer ( motion / tilt sensor)
- HTC Touch FLO 3D UI Navigation (Today Plug-in) is an great usable addition,
Which includes a eye candy Contacts, Photo, weather, & Music player apps
- FM Radio
-
HTC's Ext USB Works with Regular Mini USB
- GPS support for 3rd party apps
-
Note: For the Verizon version GPS support is only active after the
Official ROM Update. A
GPS Fix for the original shipped ROM for the Verizon Touch Pro. Thanks to the wonderful works of
lllboredlll over @
PPC Geeks (you only need this if you choose not to upgrade with the
official ROM Update)
- Cons:
- Battery life of the standard mah1340
battery is really bad, your likely to only get 8 to 12 hrs out of it in a
day. But as expected for this powerful device
- No FM Radio (on the Verizon Version)
- RAM Downgraded (on the Verizon Version), not enough
RAM
- No IR Output (so you would not be able to use any
remote control apps)
- No front side camera on US models for video calling
and self portrait
- In Call Volume is very poor on most CDMA Models
especially Verizon
- Here is a
fix to make
the in Call Volume a lot louder. Thanks to
badboy8813 over @
PPC Geeks
