The HTC Touch Pro2 (also known as the AT&T Tilt 2, HTC Tytn III; codename: HTC Rhodium, HTC Barium, HTC Tungsten, HTC Fortress) is a slate smartphone, part of the Touch series of Internet-enabled, Windows Mobile, Pocket PC smartphones designed and marketed by HTC Corporation of Taiwan. It is an enhanced version of the HTC Touch Pro with a left-side slide-out QWERTY keyboard, with tilting screen. The Touch Pro2 smartphone's functions include those of a camera phone and a portable media player in addition to text messaging and multimedia messaging. It also offers Internet services including e-mail, instant messaging, web browsing, and local Wi-Fi connectivity. Visual voicemail is not a standard feature for the Touch Pro2, unlike its predecessor the Touch Pro. The Verizon Wireless version does include a visual voicemail application, however. All versions feature TouchFLO 3D -- a new enhanced version of the TouchFLO interface, unique only to the latest Touch series. The latest update renamed TouchFLO 3D to SenseUI, to match HTC's Android offering. The Touch Pro2 -- along with its sister model, the Touch Diamond2 -- were unveiled on February 16, 2009 in Barcelona, Spain at the Mobile World Congress 2009. Specific enhancements over the original Touch Pro include:
- Larger 3.6-inch WVGA display (0.2" smaller than the Touch HD)
- Improved battery life
- Conference calls with up to five other people using HTC Straight Talk, a new speaker phone system that includes two speakers and two microphones (for increased volume and noise cancellation, respectively)
- Tiltable screen
The Touch Pro2 was released in May 2009.[3]
On August 6, 2009 Telus Mobility in Canada became the first North American carrier to launch the HTC Touch Pro2. The T-Mobile USA-branded Touch Pro2 was released on August 12, 2009. Sprint's version became available on September 8, 2009 and Verizon's version of the Touch Pro2 became available on September 11, 2009.[4] The AT&T version branded Tilt 2 was released October 18, 2009 with Windows Mobile 6.5
As of November 2009, unofficial firmware for GSM and CDMA versions have been released by third parties.[5] The XDAndroid project makes it possible to run Android on HTC Windows Mobile phones, including the Touch Pro2.[6]
With a third party SIM card adaptor, the Pro2 is dual-SIM capable.
HTC manufactures Windows Mobile and Android-based Communicators which have a proprietary connector called HTC ExtUSB (Ext[ended] USB) which is present on the Touch Pro2. ExtUSB combines mini-USB (with which it is backwards-compatible) with audio/video input and output in an 11-pin connector.
