A few weeks ago I purchased a replacement handset to my HTC Touch, the HTC Touch Pro from my local CDMA provider, Telus. I’m very pleased to say that the upgrade was a complete success, and that the majority of my complaints with the Touch have been resolved.
My new HTC Touch Pro has improved call reception, better battery life, a delicious high-pixel density screen, faster processor, and built-in WiFi; the phone ships with Windows Mobile 6.1 as well. I’m very pleased with it.
What seems to be usual is a terrible OS or ROM is shipped with every Windows Mobile-based phone, giving them a terrible reputation. As soon as you flash a ROM from the guys at ppcgeeks, things will be better. I experienced less lockups, better battery life, and a more responsive phone by using a ROM from there.

thats a great tip, i have had some problems, but if that is the case, i can sleep easier, i’ll check out ppcgeeks soon. thanks.
If the vendor-provided ROM is defective, you’d think they would do something about it, if only to reduce inbound calls to tech.
Have you seen reports of this elsewhere, or is this original research?
I’ve seen plenty of users elsewhere, it seems independent of specific carrier, as well. The carriers all know how to suck.
