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 2 – This is my review of the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 (or as some say, Touch Pro 2). This will be in multiple parts, 9-10 minutes each. Update: Here’s a link to MS October 6 announcement of 6.5 and other applications: www.microsoft.com This video talks about the history of the Microsoft’s Windows Mobile platform, including 6.1, 6.5 and 7. This is important because the TP2 comes with WinMo 6.1 and while it is OK to laugh about that, it sould NOT be a reason to avoid this GREAT device. The other sections are: Part 1 – Intro Part 3 – Pricing – Buying Tips Part 4 – In the box, form factor, nomenclature, hardware Part 5 – Software and Apps – Demonstration Part 6 – Accessories, Customization On the white clock asked about: 1. It is called the “White Filip Clock.” An easy install. You install two files. 2. Download the CAB files here: www.rantuniverse.com www.rantuniverse.com 3. Transfer the files to your microSD chip. Place anywhere. 4. ON TP2 open File Explorer. 5. Double click the SDKCERTS.CAB file just transferred. That will install it. Reboot after. 6. Now install clock cab. 7. Note: When cab install asks if you want to install despite security warning say yes. 8. When it says successfully installed, soft reset your TP2 and the clock should now be white flip.

The Motorola i1 is one such handset–it’s the first Google Android phone for Boost Mobile, and it’s also the first Google Android smartphone to run on Nextel’s iDEN network. It’s quite a rugged device–for a touch screen phone anyway–and it’s also the only Android phone to support push-to-talk, which is a big deal if you’re a Boost or Nextel customer. However, the i1 is saddled with Android 1.5, which is a relatively obsolete version of the operating system, and the iDEN network doesn’t have fast data speeds. However, Motorola may release a software update in the future, so we’ll keep hoping for improvements on that front. Overall, it’s certainly not the best Android phone we’ve seen, but it makes for a serviceable touch-screen smartphone, especially if you’re an iDEN die-hard. The Motorola i1 is available for 9.99, but bear in mind that price without a contract from Boost Mobile. Design While it might seem like a run-of-the-mill Android phone at first glance, Motorola dressed the i1 up with a decidedly rugged spin. Indeed, the handset is clad in what feels like a rubber and hard plastic casing, and the overall phone feels sturdier than most. Measuring 4.65 inches long by 2.34 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick, the i1 is not too heavy at 4.63 ounces, and its back cover has a soft touch surface for a more comfortable feel in the hand.
