As the summer heats up and back to school looms just around the corner, we thought it'd be fun to take a look at the 10 hottest smartphones so far this year. These aren't the best sellers. These are the most practical. Heck, these aren't even in order. This is a list of the 10 smartphones that tickled our fancy and made us say "hey, that's pretty darn slick." These bad boys are so hot they'll keep you cool though the dog days of August and beyond.
HTC Touch Pro2
Officially unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February, the HTC Touch Pro2 shows that HTC not only makes cool, innovative smartphones, but that it also can make a useful business tool as well.
The HTC Touch Pro2 features an adjustable tilting touch-screen that slides open to reveal a full keyboard. The smartphone is also optimized for conferencing and speakerphone use.
The Touch Pro2, which runs Windows Mobile 6.1, offers a 3.2-megapixel camera and a 3.6-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 480-x-800 WVGA resolution. The Pro 2 is Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth-enabled, weighs in at 6.17 ounces and measures 4.57 by 2.33 by 0.68 inches.
While the Touch Pro2 doesn't officially have a U.S. carrier yet, word is that it will appear on several networks by summer's end, including Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless.
