More on the potential next PDA
Jul. 30th, 2009 11:32 amA review comparing Nokia N97 versus HTC Touch Pro 2 suggests that the latter would be a better bet for me. Less "media", better keyboard and better screen.
A bit of Googling tells me that this is the equivalent of the "XDA Serra, O2's UK version of the HTC Touch Pro (also known as the Raphael, T Mobile MDA Vario I, VAT&T Fuze and Sprint Touch Pro)."
It's got a wrist strap - good, if using it for GPS-type things.
"One point here is that for some reason, probably form HTC have decided to hide the microSD slot underneath the back casing, so you do have to remove the back to swap or remove the card, but no biggy really."
No biggy? The whole point of that SD card is to swap data from PDA to PC, depending on where I'm working. It's bad enough having a microSD not a real one, but can you imagine having to take the side off your PC every time you wanted to change the CD? Why should this be any different?
As someone says, though: "would be interested to know if it appears as a USB drive when plugged into a PC. if so, then the SD card access is not a problem, otherwise removing the back is trouble." Well, it's got the usual USB/miniUSB thing, so if Activesync is installed and works, we're on.
