I just bought the Touch Pro 2. Overall, I give it a thumbs up. Had the Touch Cruise II before. This is much improvement. I added SPB Shell and the interface is much improves - iPod-like. Pros * very complete -has just about everything you need * screen is awesome * keyboard works well. * zoom function makes web pages come alive * audio is decent - I downloaded 10g of music into the micro sd card * gps locks up quickly. Copilot works great on this * camera is decent - good enough to work with World Card and recognize business cards * standard WinMo functions work quickly Cons * capacitive screen would be nice - occasionally need to bare down with finger nail to get it to work * more buttons - I miss those - voice recording, for example - use it all the time * instant rotate screen - I downloaded a free app. , but it barfs occasionally
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
