Following our earlier hands-on videoview of this week's announced HTC Touch Pro2, yesterday I spent some more quality time with HTC's upcoming full keyboard smartphone.
In the discussion with HTC I've mentioned that "Touch Pro" might be the wrong name since the original Touch Pro, which also featured a slide-out keyboard, was way smaller and for me, the Touch Pro2 is more a mix of the HTC TyTN II and HTC Universal.

Maybe this explanation gives you a better understanding what the HTC Touch Pro2 will really be - a Windows Mobile power-house with great new features and improvements as well as a really usable keyboard which is good for more than just some small messaging. However, the larger screen and keyboard has its price, the HTC Touch Pro2 isn't as small as the original Touch Pro was:
