    CNET Review

    December 9, 2008

    The Good: The HTC Touch Pro for Verizon Wireless offers a full QWERTY keyboard and a gorgeous touch screen. The Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and EV-DO Rev. A support.

    The Bad: The Verizon Touch Pro is buggy and incredibly slow. It has less onboard RAM than the Sprint and AT&T versions, and the battery drains quickly. There's no standard headphone jack.

    The Bottom Line: While the HTC Touch Pro for Verizon Wireless offers business users a full-featured smartphone, it's painfully slow and not worth the frustration or money.

    Review Summary: Verizon took a powerful smartphone from HTC, removed some important features, crippled the RAM, and jacked up the price. The result isn't worth the bother for most customers.

    Review Summary: This capable, QWERTY-keyboarded TouchFLO smartphone offers plenty of high-end features, although its complex, sluggish interface and weak battery drag it down.
