HTC Touch Pro2 is the upgraded version of the HTC Touch Pro, just like the Touch Diamond2 after the Touch Diamond. The HTC Touch Pro 2 takes corporate communication seriously and aims at providing unprecedented conferencing experience. It is optimized to improve human interaction by giving as much importance to calls as the e-mails and text messages get.

The HTC Touch Pro 2 boasts its Straight Talk technology that puts crystal-clear sound quality and voice reception at the core of its design. This makes the Touch Pro 2 a handheld conferencing device with an exceptional noise-cancelling microphone and loudspeaker. The phone’s interface is also designed in a way that makes it easy to initiate and manage a call conference. Just tap your fingers on its 3.6 inches (480 x 800) TouchFLO 3D display and it will respond to your gestures in no time.

Like its predecessor, the Touch Pro 2 also runs on both 2G and 3G networks and hosts variety of connectivity options and other functions like Java, Accelerometer, Handwriting recognition, Bluetooth, USB, radio and much more. Its processing core is supercharged via Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 MHz CPU and the operating system is Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.
