Okay, seriously, the new HTC Touch Pro2 is the sexiest piece of technology I've seen in awhile. It's probably too big for me to carry around day-to-day, but hardcore professionals who want to stay connected likely won't mind the bulk. But really, who cares? This thing oozes sex, class, and style (did I just write that about a phone?) and the keyboard is insanely comfortable to type on. And the screen? Just barely smaller than the Touch HD's display, Touch Pro2's screen is gorgeous to look at.
Touch Diamond2 ain't bad, either. Sleeker and more grown-up looking than the original, the Diamond2 actually forgoes the faceted back panel that gave the original its name. Apparently HTC's designers think facets are "so 2008," so they gave the new Diamond a smooth metal back. Works for me. There's also a 5MP camera with flash back there, so you've got no reason to complain.
Both phones feature an upgraded version of TouchFlo 3D that adds all sorts of nifty features that more deeply integrate with Windows Mobile - so you don't have to deal with WinMo all that often. But don't just take my word for it: check out the hands-on videos.
