In the mobile world, the Touch Pro 2 is a veritable dinosaur of a smartphone that we haven’t even though about for what seems like ages, but seeing as how bi-annual smartphone upgrades aren’t really feasible for everyone, HTC has released a minor ROM update (MR2) for the Pro2 to help improve the user experience. The update brings with it an enhanced Sense UI, a compact QWERTY keyboard option, visual voicemail, and improved VZ Navigator performance. If your Pro 2 is feeling a little aged, this update might just breathe enough life back into it to hold you over until you’re eligible for a handset upgrade.

The ROM update is a “maintenance ROM” update (hence the MR2 designation) and this is the full list of changes (from WMExperts):

  • ROM: 4.01.605.15/Radio: 2.35.00WV
  • Operating system has been upgraded to Windows Mobile® 6.5 COM2.5.
  • The HTC Sense™ user interface has been improved.
  • Visual Voice Mail (version 1.1.12.11) now comes preloaded on the device.
  • GlobalAccess Connect support. For international Internet access, you can tether your smartphone to a notebook.
  • Enhanced VZ Navigator® performance.
  • Improved auto-configuration of Daylight Saving Time.
  • Improved word prediction and auto-correction.
  • Enhanced on-screen keyboard layouts.
  • New, compact QWERTY keyboard option.
  • When composing email or text messages, type the first few letters of the recipient’s name in the To field to see a list of possible matches.
  • Quick setup of common email account types and an option to set up an email account manually.

    1 day old TP2 and having some adjustment shock. I will look thoroughly thru this web page, nevertheless it is so distinct from my q and my palm 800 which had been both largely the same. At this time the only point I truly comprehend is tips on how to access web ( that is why I purchased it ) Making calls recieving messages is tougher, moving photos to TP@ so I can use it like a viewer seems extremely hard. I can move them but i want them to be effortlessly discovered for the device. Learning curve I hope is all.
