HTC Touch Pro2 review

Richard Heuston

Is it possible when reviewing phones to actually tell us how well they work as a phone? The Touch Pro2 seems to be the type of phone that I have being waiting for, but living in Northern Ireland and working in areas with poor mobile coverage I need to know whether the phone will actually ring if someone calls me or just goes to answer phone.When I changed my phone last year from a Sony Ericsson to a Nokia E66 (both on Orange) I noticed how poor the E66 was taking incomming calls. My friends and I carried out an experiment in our local yacht club with My Nokia E66, a Nokia 6300 and an LG Viewty all on Orange, and as Orange recommends when you complain about missed calls, 3G was turned off. All phones were set in the same place while someone else called them. The LG Viewty did not take any calls with all going to Answer Phone, My E66 showing two bars of signal took two calls and failed on three. On the three that failed the phone went to no service as the call was comming in. The Nokia 6300 took five calls in a row with no failures! This the type of phone review that I want to read!
