dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Looks OK... but pls note that this is Touch 2 and not Touch Pro 2; i.e. no keyboard; also its screen has ancient qvga resolution i.e. 1/4th of TP2, even Touch Pro has full vga... so its overpriced for its feature set... it may be on WM6.5 which is highly appreciated but its hardware is nowhere out of this world in comparison to Touch Pro or TP2; even ram is lower than Touch Pro and also no motion-g sensor, no flash, though it does have a 3.5mm jack; so WM6.5 official releases will be coming very soon for TP and TP2 also... and we do save a bundle of money...
