Oh and where have I seen that glossy plastic curved back before?  Spec and pictures after the break.

Video look at the HTC Touch Pro

Managed to get my hands on the much anticipated HTC Touch Pro today and I have had a few minutes to put together a quick video look at the hardware and software of the device and I have to say so far I am very impressed with the usability and overall speed of the TouchFlo UI. I will be writing up a full review, but before I do I will be using the device for a few days to make sure I get a good feel for it. In the meantime check out the video after the break.
