htc-touch-pro-official-02-smWho gets it? T-Mobile or AT&T? Crunchgear seems to think T-mobile is the winner, or do they. They are just following a lead from T-mobile enthusiast site, but it’s got to be one of the two. One of the reasons some think it will hit T-Mobile is that AT&T already has the Tilt. I don’t buy that idea. AT&T wouldn’t mind throwing another hot phone in their line up.

What about “NO CARRIER”? That’s a big possibility too right? Look at the Shift and the Advantage. HTC has clearly stuck their chest out and shown that they are the maker behind alot of the hot phones out there and seem to want brand recognition. Is it possible that they might go solo on this one? I doubt it, but it is quite possible.

In addition, Arne Hess has a video online of showcasing the Touch Pro’s hardware.

The HTC Touch Pro is the perfect extension to HTC’s earlier released HTC Touch Diamond and basically, both devices features the same specifications except that the Touch Pro will have a slide-out keyboard but lacks the 4 GB inbuilt flash memory. However, both devices run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and the HTC Touch Pro also supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE but also dualband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (900/2100 MHz) up to 7.2 Mbps for HSDPA and 2 Mbps for HSUPA. Other features include Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi b/g, an inbuilt GPS receiver as well as an FM radio.

Head over to Arne’s Video at the::unwired…

    I can confirm that the Touch Diamond is coming to Canada. As well as the above listed pricing it will also come with a $30 UNLIMITED email, web and IM contract (through Telus Mobility). $45 gets you all the above with texting too.

    In addition, you can expect Telus to sell the Touch Pro. It's not announced yet, but expect it. I shall say no more :D

    Sprint WILL get the Touch Pro. My guess is November 08. As for availability in CDMA...

  • The HTC Touch Pro and Tilt are made by the same company. It's not made by Sony.
  • Kobes
    Also note to the comment above about the Sony Xperia. If you have been reading lately it has already been delayed until the Q4 of 2009 so dont expect that anytime soon. Second, to consider something a "Tilt 2" it would have to be from the same manufacturer not a different one like sony.
  • Kobes
    This phone is definately going to be for AT&T. AT&T has said for a while that they would have a Tilt 2 coming out this fall actually and I would be willing to bet everything that this is the "Tilt 2" that they have been talking about.

    The Diamond is going to sprint, that's confirmed. Doubt the Touch Pro will follow... As for price, everyone thinks it'll be like $1,000... The Diamond is selling in Canada soon for $149.99 with contract, $449.99 without.
  • Jay
    I hope that the Touch PRO will come to Sprint, because it will actually be the upgrade to the HTC Mogul.
  • I think someone else stated it. There are 2 different types of phones coming. GSM & CDMA. Sprint has been identified as one of the carriers and there is a leaked photo with the Sprint logo out in the interwebs.

    However, experts are not mentioning AT&T OR T-Mobile as potential carriers. I've been hunting everywhere and all they say is Verizon / Alltel.

    So it's completely unclear as to who will get the GSM version but review sites aren't mentioning AT&T or T-mobile at all.
  • Doug Smith
    I doubt that AT&t; would have that much interest in it as the Sony XPERIA is already confirmed. They are so closely matched that I would think that a Touch Pro XPERIA variant would be the Next TILT II. I would be totally amazed if we see the Tilt II this year. Q1 2009 is my bet. Hell, AT&T; will be the last to release the 6.1 ROM for Tilt owners!
  • Problem is that Sprint is CDMA and this one shows up at the FCC as GSM.
  • zain
    So, the htc touch diamond, its twin, is coming to sprint. Aren't all families together and alike in ways? That's why i think it will come to sprint along with its twin diamond. lol
  • Radimus
    BTW, the video states the TouchPro comes with 1300Mah battery... Which is kind of disappointing.

    I put an 2300Mah extended battery on my TyTN and get a solid 2 days of real use out of it. Hopefullt the OEMs will be able to produce extended batteries that will fit under the cool diamond back panel
  • Radimus
    This is what I'm waiting for... I've already passed on the idea of upgrading to the tilt (I'm eligible now for upgrade) even for a 150.00 refurb.

    I considered buying an unlocked one, but for 900.00 it would need to come with a telepathy headset
