For those wondering, yes, the Touch Pro2 is technically an old smart phone from early last year. However, the handset never really made it to UK store shelves as it was originally released as a Verizon exclusive in the UK. Unlike the Motorola DROID which was brought over locally in a matter of weeks, the HTC WinMo smart phone was basically forgotten for more than year. Still, it makes for an excellent option for those who find the high end HTC HD2 a tad too excessive.

In terms of features, the Touch Pro2 was pretty much top of the line when it was first announced. But compared to the newer smart phones of today, it makes for a very well rounded mid range business handset.

At first look, this device looks like a typical smart phone with a large 3.6 inch touch screen, but slide out the physical QWERTY keyboard and tilt the screen and the device reveals its second form: it works like a mini netbook –allowing users to type fast and easily, provided they find a place to sit down and a table to work on.

This makes the Touch Pro2 pretty handy to have when you need to make the most of your time while outside the office. It allows you to work on documents and emails with the speed and efficiency of being in front of a desktop computer (well, not exactly, but it comes pretty close).

Version 1.90.61.0 upgrade is coming on the heels of HTC Touch pro 2 owners who form a part of Orange customers. This will afford them the rare opportunity to taste what the Windows Mobile 6.5 Platform has in its sleeves. For you to gain access into the new upgrade, a user would have to access the start>setting Tab>Device information>version tab. This is according to HTC’s recommendation for the ROM version, CPU and of course the Radio version to be written down.

As a user applying the new upgrade for the first time, they stand the risk of loosing all data on their mobile phones. Users are therefore advised to backup all their files before going ahead with the upgrade. Performing the upgrade is not really a difficult task as users can get the ROM installed through the ROM upgrade utility. This is of course subject to them connecting their USB sync cable and finally making sure that the battery level is at least above 50% level.

Connection is so simple and users can decide to let the program run on the background while they engage in other activities online. The new upgrade connects you with your loved ones on social network sites like Facebook and Windows Live. Talking about the benefits of using the new upgrade, backup with Microsoft My Phone is as easy as a b c.
