hey guys it's Brandon minimun from pocketnow.com and this is a comparison between the HTC Touch HD and the HTC Touch pro you could also consider a comparison between the Touch HD and the touch of diamond since the pro and the diamond are very similar devices so in this video we're going to take a look at how they compare in terms of performance and screen visibility obviously the touch HD has a larger screen by a full inch and it also is a higher resolution screen it's got 800 down instead of 640 down as found on the diamond or the touch pro so we're gonna go in we're gonna look at a lot of applications we're gonna try to synchronize things together just as a little bit of a note both devices have just been soft reset they're connected on the same Wi-Fi network they have no third-party applications installed so the the field is very even across both devices ok so here we are in touch flow 3d and the screen brightnesses are set to the same level and I can tell you that the touch pro has a slightly higher contrast it seems than does the touch HD the whites are just a little bit wider and the colors are a little more crisp so let's slide over on the icons here and back again alright let's go into calendar alright let's go into the programs menu and of course you can see more icons on the screen with the touch HD since it has a longer screen and let's go down to the YouTube application and I'll try to launch them at the same time see which one does it faster it looks like the touch pros a little faster so far and let's try to get it on the same video so we can see which one will lo it load it faster and it looks like we're in science and technology so let me go to all videos oh here we are okay so I'm going to choose this Gears of War video and play it at the same time see what your device gets it on first and see how it looks on the larger screen looks like so video really looks fantastic on the touch HD which with the large screen it's high resolution in in YouTube the video stretches for the to the whole screen so that you can see everything on one shot so let's go into another program now okay let's go to opera mobile next and I'm going to launch them at the same time see which one gets it open first all right touch pro got it first and I'm gonna go to Amazon on both devices see how it looks all right so I'm gonna click go at the same time looks like the touch HD oh no actually the touch broke kind of loaded it fast at the last minute there and it's almost done web browsing is one of the places where the WVGA screen really shines I mean look how much more you can see on the HUD than you can on the touch pro and I'm gonna flip it over to landscape in a second just so you can see even more so of this effect and here's what they look like both in landscape as I as I said before you see so much more on the screen and the experience is so much better on the touch HD looking at the web than it is on the touch pro now just for comparative purposes let's look at the iPhone and see how Amazon looks in Safari you know it's funny I turn on the iPhone the other day for the first time in a really long time and this screen looks so grainy in comparison to the touch HD because the resolution is so much lower alright okay so here we are with the touch HD in the iPhone loaded onto the same page we can of course flick our finger on both devices to to move down the page and you can see so much more on the screen at one time on the touch HD because of the higher resolution screen and it really looks fantastic it kind of makes the iPhone look like a much lower resolution device which it is in comparison okay we're back with these two devices let's go into the album at the same time see which loads it faster it looks like the the touch pro is slightly faster in that test and of course on both devices you can flick your finger to see pictures but you can see more pictures on the the touch probe because the higher resolution screen let's open this one and let's do a slideshow on both devices so your choice between the touch HD and the touch pro or diamond is really going to come down to what you use your device for they're very similar in terms of performance some in some instances that touch HD was faster in some instances the touch pro is faster if you use your device for a lot of multimedia like video and pictures and you intend to do a lot of web browsing then you're really going to appreciate the big screen on the touch HD but if you want to be as productive as possible and you're a business user and you want to have hardware keys plus a full keyboard then obviously the touch pro will be your best bet keep in mind that the touch HD has a price premium right now of a hundred to two hundred dollars depending on where you buy it from so that's it for this comparison be sure to check pocketnow.com soon for the full review of the touch HD or will cover benchmarks and battery
