Reviewer suggests business-focused iPhone alternative

Posted: 23 June 2009

The HTC Touch Pro2 is a business-focused phone that some may find is a suitable alternative to the Apple iPhone 3G, it has been suggested.

In an article for Mobile Burn this week, Russell Jeffries looks at the device and says that it boast a wide selection of office applications that may appeal to the professional user.

He explains that some of these facilities are good enough to give Apple a run for their money including a battery capable of "running for days at a time, just as a business phone should".

"It has a wonderful screen that is actually bigger than the iPhone's and much higher resolution, too," Mr Jeffries adds.

Also noted is the incorporation of a full slide-out qwerty keyboard, Windows Mobile user interface and a "fantastic speakerphone", although the devices' multimedia applications were found to be a little lacking.

Other smartphones from HTC include the Magic - which is the second handset to be launched in the UK that runs on the Google Android operating system.
