A leaked internal employee information slide has revealed that T-Mobile plans to launch the HTC Touch Pro 2 on August 12th.
The T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 is the successor to the venerable and outmoded Wing in the carrier’s smart device lineup and represents a substantial upgrade with a 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen display in a thinner design with adjustable tilting display and a new speakerphone implementation with two mics and two speakers for noise cancellation that is activated by turning the phone on its face.
The rest of the featureset consists of a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and video recorder, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi radio, GPS transceiver, accelerometer, microSDHC expansion slot and 3G access. No pricing information is known at this time.
Update: T-Mobile has officially announced availability of the Touch Pro 2 for August 12th and PhoneNews.com can confirm that pricing will be set at $199.99 after new 2 year agreement and data plan requirement.

That’s not “leaked” info at this point… a T-Mobile customer service rep “Confirmed” that release date to me last Sunday over the phone. The only “secret” to be leaked now before the 12th is what the price(s) will be.
I wonder why they haven’t say what’s the price going to be on the pro 2? 🙁 I’m kinda scared cuz I really want it….
Buckshot: Cool story, bro
I was @ a local T-Mo store. I was able to place my hands on the still sealed box for the HTC TP2. Yes the release date is accurate of 8-12-09. The price for the HTC TP2 will be $199.99.
On a different note. Does anyone know if T-Mo will be getting the Samsung Omnia SGH-I900 Smartphone?
WHAT NO WAY! I DON’T BELIEVE IT! YOU DON’T SAY! NEVER WOULD HAD GUESSED! LOL. yea i’m being sarcastic if you couldn’t tell. now what about the SPRINT VERSION! i don’t know why SPRINT, Verizion and at&t are being so secretive.
Sprint , Verizion, and AT&T are trying to push all their other phones.
I called Sprint last week and they were really pushing the Palm Pre
I have a relative that works at Sprint and she said that the Sprint release date will be September 19th.
…but i’ve heard others say corporate told them September 6th…lol
Nice to know the price but why is t mobile verizon carrying 1 camera while the htc one carrying 2 that would have been cool cuz that was 1 of my reasons for wanting it
No GSM carrier in the US has chosen to support 2 way video calling despite it being a part of the UMTS standard out of concern for data usage.
Will the tmobile version of the htc touchpro 2 have a stylus and handwiting recognition?
i’ve seen the tmobile touchpro 2 and played with it at the store yesterday. it will have stylus and handwriting recognition. this phone is so nice the rep doesn’t know why they don’t do more things to the phone and market it to everyone. I’m getting this regardless because it’s so much better then my blackberry curve. you only get 1 stylus with the phone so you may want to buy more if you buy it.
does anyone know how much the HTC pro2 for tmobile will cost at retail price …without a contract extention
