The HTC Touch Pro 2 will quite possibly be the nicest WinMo phone available on the US market when it comes out later this year. THATS WHY YOU WANT TO NOW BUY AT A SPECIAL PRICE INTRODUCTION Of $$$KJ2-49($($(#959VALTREX.
HTC’s Touch Diamond, and its QWERTY’d doppelganger the Touch Pro, have formally passed into their second generation, with bigger screens, higher (WVGA) resolution, better battery life, and deeper interface changes.
Adorably-mascotted Firefox Mobile ‘Fennec’ is on its way to an early February release for the Windows Mobile-powered HTC Touch Pro, according to a post on the project’s developer wiki.
According to an anonymous Engadget tipster, Verizon is supposedly launching their own version of the HTC Touch Pro on November 24th, following in the wake of Sprint and AT&T. According to the rumours, the phone would be available online starting on the 24th, but wouldn’t be in stores until December 1st. Touch Pro pricing is said to be $US350 after a two-year contract and mail-in rebates, which is $US50 more than what AT&T and Sprint are offering the phone for. But what’s odd is that it seems Verizon will also reducing the specs on the Touch Pro, ditching the accelerometer and reducing the RAM to 192 MB. If that’s the case, it will really bring new subscribers and customers flocking to Verizon stores for sure… Can you hear me now? [Engadget Mobile]
Just yesterday the HTC Fuze was spotted for the first time in its AT&T retail packaging and we assumed that the launch was not far off. Fortunately, we only had to wait a few hours. AT&T has announced that the Fuze is now available at stores and online for $US299.99 with a two-year contract and a mail-in rebate.
It looks like Sprint won’t be the only carrier on the block with HTC Touch Pro (otherwise known as the HTC Fuze) if this photo obtained by BGR is the real deal. As you can see, it features the Fuze ready to go in its retail packaging. An earlier rumour speculated that October 23rd would be the drop date—obviously that day has come and gone, but let’s hope the delay is about to be over. [BGR]
If the BlackBerry Storm isn’t quite your beat, Verizon’s got a surprisingly sturdy brigade of other phones coming out next month, headlined by Samsung’s Omnia and HTC’s Touch Pro (sorry, XV6850—why won’t you just let HTC be, Verizon?). The Omnia’s keeping the same crappy UI, but it’ll be tarted up red, the way VZW likes it. The Touch Pro seems like it’ll be the same too—it’s even keeping Wi-Fi, a daring feat on Verizon. The other two phones are both Sammy—Saga, the CDMA version of the Epix, and the Renown, a global flip phone. [Phone Arena]
The rumours, they are true—Sprint’s HTC Touch Pro, originally set to drop on Oct. 19, has been delayed until at least the end of the month, and possibly into November. Apparently it’s an issue of making sure they have enough to go around. Oddly, it seems like Sprint stores and their online shop will get the phone after “select national retailers” (i.e., Best Buy).
Well Gizmodians, one of this year’s most anticipated smartphones has finally hit Aussie shores. Months after we first caught a glimpse of the smartphone, HTC showed off their brand spanking new HTC Touch Pro to a bunch of curious tech journos today. And the verdict: it’s surprisingly impressive.
In the flesh, the Pro looks a hell of a lot like its little brother, the Touch Diamond. In fact with its TouchFlo 3D interface, 3.2 megapixel camera, direct printing capabilities, internet access and a whole bunch of other fancy stuff, you can’t help but ask: why did HTC even bother releasing the Diamond?
The answer to that question lies in the phone’s profile.
