You may remember I banged on for months about wanting a Touch Pro and Orange couldn’t decide if they were going to get it… Eventually I opted for getting one from Vodafone (SIM free through a colleague). It’s a great phone, but has a few quirks and I’ve been hanging out for the HTC Touch Pro 2.

This video was a texting challenge, set by osmio between the two handsets. Don’t get me wrong I still love my SPV M700/Trinity, I just fancy a change!
