In an informal meeting with HTC, few bloggers had a chance to snap video and pictures of the HTC Diamond sibling, The HTC Touch Pro.

The device adds to the Touch Diamond with a side sliding keyboard reportedly offers better feel than the Sony Xperia X1; a MicroSD card slot is on board; the casing has more rounded edges without the fingerprint-magnet glossy surface and a much larger 1340 mAH battery.

While having these nice features, the device unfortunately adds too much thickness (relative to its size) and this might make the look unattractive and outdated to some of us (in comparison to this design).

One thing is worth mentioning here is HTC purposely does not install a battery in the shown device. This might tell me that HTC perhaps is reworking on the most complained feature The TouchFLO 3D that HTC Diamond is suffering.
