Window Mobile phone maker HTC today unveiled the Touch Pro2, successor to the popular Touch Pro smartphone, adding advanced speakerphone technology to turn any room into a conference room. The Taiwan-based company said flipping the Touch Pro2 over turns it into a sophisticated speakerphone similar to those found in corporate boardrooms.
Using HTC's new Straight Talk technology, the handset delivers a high-fidelity voice through asymmetric speakers and noise suppression.
The Touch Pro2 runs on HTC's new TouchFLO 3D interface and uses a customized version of Windows Mobile 6.1 so users can quickly access people, messaging, email, photos, music and weather.
It also groups conversation together in a single contact view -- whether voice, text or email is used so histories can be viewed from the contact card or during a phone conversation.
The handset has a 3.6-inch widescreen VGA display with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, expandable memory, a touch-sensitive zoom bar and gravity, proximity and ambient light sensors.
The HTC Touch Pro2 will be available across major global markets beginning in early summer.
