HTC Touch Pro Video Review: Part 2
By Robin Landy
Maybe the HTC Touch Pro was starting to look like it was all sweetness-and-light. Actually, it’s got almost as many problems as an EastEnders* publican.
In part 2 of Omio’s exclusive video review, we’ll be taking a look at some of it’s downsides.
*For readers from outside the UK: EastEnders is an interminably gloomy British soap-opera whose characters’ dispositions perpetually fluctuate between moribund and psychotic. The show’s public house – ‘The Queen Vic’ – has been the dismal venue for a significantly higher number of beatings, burnings and shootings than the national average.

Wow… thought this would be ‘the one’ — after watching this, I’m not so sure
About lost notification on landscape. I had an impression that when on landscape mode, the notification is on the right soft key, on the bottom of the screen, so you’ll be able to get it up pretty easily.

I did however get the impression the review was written by a kid excited with his newly opened Christmas present, not someone who had spent some objective time with the device…
