HTC Touch Pro

I recently upgraded my one year old Motorola Q9c to the HTC Touch Pro. My Q9c was working perfectly fine but as you know I like the fanciest, newest, and greatest gadgets (at a reasonable price of course). I sold the Q9c for $100 on craigslist and picked up the Touch Pro for $225 on eBay. This phone is above and beyond the Q9c, as it utilizes my ultra discounted Sprint SERO plan to the max. Examples of things I can do on this phone:
  • Internet tethering via WiFi - the program that I use, WMWifirouter, enables me to wirelessly tether the Touch Pro to my Asus eeePC netbook for 3G Internet access (1.7 mbps down) for free - since SERO included unlimited data. Single most useful feature of the phone as I can have Internet access anytime and anywhere I have a Sprint signal.
  • Endless application options and the ability to install a "cooked" ROM - a "cooked" ROM is a customized operating system for the phone that removes unnecessary programs that enables the phone to perform faster with longer battery life. Through PPCGeeks, I installed a custom Windows Mobile 6.5 lite ROM that is speedy and lag-free.
  • Skype Mobile on the go
  • Twitter and Facebook on the go
  • Google Lattitude GPS tracking
  • 3.2 MP camera and video
  • Expansion - I have an 8GB microSD card installed
  • Full QWERTY keyboard, and 2.8" WVGA screen
  • Remote desktop capabilities
  • YouTube and Hulu on Skyfire
It's an awesome phone and while I like the Apple iPhone a lot, I can do more on the Touch Pro than any iPhone. Plus, I will never give up my $30 per month SERO plan!
