Sprint Touch Pro 2

Sprint has officially announced the pending launch of the HTC Touch Pro 2 after months of speculation.

The Sprint version features a dual-mode quadband GSM/CDMA radio for international roaming with included SIM card, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, accelerometer 3.6 inch WVGA display with tilt mechanism, microSDHC expansion slot, TV output, and Straight Talk dual-microphone speakerphone with mute button.

The device will launch for $349.99 after new 2 year agreement and $100 rebate on September 8th.

The Sprint version will launch with Windows Mobile 6.1, but will receive the upgrade to 6.5 when available along with an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack and Opera Mobile.

    Launch date is sept 8th. its at the bottom of the post. My question is, why so expensive? is the 349.99 price including the $100 rebate? I won’t be buying this one at this price. They must be out of their mind. Neither the storm or the iphone were sold at such a high price. I’ll be waiting for the hero.

    Does anyone know if this phone will require an everything plan or will people who were awarded for true loyalty be able to use it on their older plans?

    I tried talking to a few reps about it but no one seems to know.

    The 349.00 is “after” the rebate.
    Get your credit card ready for a 450 dollar charge.
    Craziness. I waited 2 months for this device.
    I ended up getting a PRE.
    Awsome phone. New Apps coming out everyday.
    200 bucks. Do yourself a favor and save 250 dollars.

    Im sure this phone will be allowed on any plan. I think the hero might require some type of special plan.

    I would love to get the pre but I need tethering on my phone plus I love the plan Im on and dont need the everything plan. Maybe I can convince sprint to let me get the pre on my plan. I hope so, cause I sure can’t afford to cough up $450 and wait for a mail in rebate. Not in this economy.

    Listen, im a little confused here. Do u need to have a special(simply everything) plan to activate an htc touch pro 2 ??? I just got off the phone with someone in sprint telesales and she said I would have to switch to a simply everything plan !! ??? I almost went into cardiac arrest !! Is that true or was she just a misinformed employee ???

    I have the PRE and sorry, but I dont like it…. Can you hurry up and rush the phone before the software is ready… Ordered the touch pro 2 yesterday. Look at the PRE in a couple of years, when they get the basic phone software right…
