The HTC Touch Pro2 for sprint runs windows mobile 6.1 and will be upgradeable to 6.5 down the road. However, HTC doesn’t ship this device running the stock, boring windows mobile interface. Instead, the device ships with TouchFlo 3d, a powerful user interface which makes windows mobile much more usable. This video walks you through the features, options, and layout of sprint’s touch pro2 touchflo interface.

Part 15 of my detailed discussion of Windows Mobile 6.5; In this video I demonstrate an uber cool feature, HTC’s TouchFLO 3d 2.5 animated weather on my T-Mobile Touch Pro2.! To be called HTC Sense when it comes out on the HD2 superphone. Update: Here’s a link to MS announcement of 6.5 and other applications: www.microsoft.com Basically you can tell TouchFLO to run animated weather on your Today screen. You set how often you want the phone to check weather (every 15 minutes minimum) and it will check the weather at that interval. That would be cool enough, but what it does while downloading the weather is animate the conditions across the phone’s display. So far I have see “partly cloudy” which sends clouds across the entire screen; “sunny” that shoots sun rays outward from a yellow sun and “clear at night” that has a beaming moon. I can hardly wait for rain. If it is anything like my weather Easter egg (see my video) I expect there to be rain drops on my screen. And if there’s snow, Touch FLO appears capable of showing falling snow flakes. Update: I have combined into this one video all the weather conditions I have seen and also at the end I run the weather Easter egg for you. All in all a fantastic and fun little feature.
Quick tour of what you’d expect with the spb shell on the HD2. Runs real smooth, probably faster than the Sense GUI. This shows briefly how to install the new shell. Of course I purchased a copy, but just demonstrating other channels for the software. You can purchase it via www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
