The Verizon version loses the oversized enter/return key, and it's moved from the normal location to the bottom right corner. The layout is somewhat odd: the period is to the left of the spacebar rather than the right, the comma (on the period key) requires an Fn key press and the arrow keys are shifted a bit toward the middle so the up arrow falls between the n and m keys. However, those keys have very little travel and tactile feedback compared to the Sprint and AT&T versions. The 5 row QWERTY keyboard is roomy and we're happy that Verizon went with a top number row rather than AT&T's top symbol row. It's visible outdoors, though it does wash out and succumb to glare. The 2.8" VGA display is sharp and bright- a real pleasure to behold. It's quite hard to change TouchFLO 3D's theme colors (unlike standard WinMo themes), and that's why we harp on this. Now that TouchFLO 3D is up and running, we'll say that we still prefer the black theme found on the overseas GSM and Sprint versions of the phone to Verizon's red and gray theme, but it's more appealing than AT&T's very light gray and orange theme. Check the box labeled TouchFLO 3D, then hit the OK button at the upper right. Click on the Today icon, then select the "items" tab near the bottom. So here it is: Go to the Start Menu and choose settings. In fact, if you're not very familiar with Windows Mobile Professional or haven't played with other TouchFLO 3D phones (offered by other carriers since this is Verizon's only model), then you might not even know how to turn on this feature. Yet, Verizon expects those who purchase the Pro to not be newbies. Oye! HTC intended TouchFLO 3D to be a new and easy user interface that even newbies could easily understand. Though the flush touch screen and TouchFLO 3D are what sets the HTC Touch Pro apart from other manufacturers' Windows Mobile phones as well as older HTC phones, Verizon ships theirs with TouchFLO 3D turned off. The Verizon Touch Pro lacks the GSM version's diamond-faceted back, or Sprint's contrasting soft-touch finish and is instead a gloss black slab. ![]() ![]() It's sleek, it's shiny black and a fingerprint magnet, but when clean it looks lovely. Like its relatives the HTC Touch Pro on Sprint and the HTC Fuze on AT&T, the Verizon Touch Pro features a VGA touch screen, HTC's TouchFLO 3D user interface, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, EVDO Rev. Verizon is the latest to jump on the bandwagon with their version of the HTC Touch Pro XV6850. HTC's Touch Pro has been one of the hottest Windows Mobile touch screen phones of 2008, and now three out of four of the top US carriers are offering it.
