HTC Touch Pro vs Touch Diamond

Since I posted my HTC Touch Pro video yesterday I’ve had tons of requests of photos of the Pro next to the Diamond to that you can judge the difference in size. So, not to disappoint anyone here are a few shots of the two devices side-by-side.

Having spent the last 24 hrs with the Touch Pro I have to say that it is by far the best phone I’ve had for years! Definitely better than my TyTN II and, for me anyway, better than the HTC Touch Diamond. I do still like the Diamond but with my heavy email use a QWERTY keyboard is a must!

As you can see from the shots above, the Touch Pro is almost twice as thick as the Diamond and about 50% heavier. However, despite being about 30 grams lighter than the HTC TyTN II it feels heavier in your hand, perhaps because it’s more compact.

Signal strength on the HTC Touch Pro is better than the Diamond. We live in the middle of nowhere with poor network coverage, the Diamond rarely picks up a signal but the Pro has a couple of bars.

We’ll have a full review for you soon but if there is anything you would like to know about the HTC Touch Pro in the meantime then please drop us a line!

EDIT: Our HTC Touch Pro review is now live!
