Phone looks awesome. I don’t know why they don’t just leave the 4gb memory in it and keep the micro sd card. The Pro looks better than the regular touch. Does the Regular touch have the accelerometer?
Yes. I love using it to play the game Teeter on the Diamond.
If I had to guess, the Touch Pro is aimed more at business users.
This would explain the removal of the 4gb internal memory…at least in my mind.
I do have to say that it is getting a hefty advantage over the Touch Diamond
It gets:
QWERTY keyboard
TV out
Both are huge features in my opinion. I can’t think of any smartphone that actually had TV-out. The advantage? This phone comes with powerpoint viewer built-in. You could now use this phone as a mobile presenter. No laptop required
