T-Mobile's HTC Touch Pro2 hitting August 12th

If they had just left the 2nd user-facing video camera and offered a 6.5 upgrade, TMo would have been forgiven for all their past WinMo deralictions. Removing the video conference camera to insure reduced 3G usage is criminal. Failing to offer a 6.5 upgrade is a continuing reminder that TMo has no interest in partnering with Microsoft to promote the OS.

With a mandatory purchase of $600 worth of data, whether used or not, these phones should be free.

Have you guys seen the high res pictures slashgear posted? If the color is anything like what the pictures show, then its gonna look really nice. Yeah most people dont want a brown phone but it actually looks good in a sophisticated kinda way. This is going to be my first windows mobile phone, and coming from a sidekick, I think Im going to love it.

I’ve held the phone, its black and a dark tannish brown color with some silver on it. all black would probably look better but its really not bad

@krakenbound ur rite jk
it is getting winmo 6.5 upgrade fer sure and no carrier in usa fully supports video chat yet so itd b useless

and to evry1 else the sprint version is supa uhgly

@Krakenbound
Like joshh said, this is getting the 6.5 upgrade and supposedly this getting the touch flo upgrade too. And no carrier in the US supports video chat so there was no need to have it on.

Joshh, ITA about the colors, last time I checked, every carrie in the US is getting a different color. Isnt sprints red or something.

i think sprints was blue but with some ugly ripoles on the back that look like hole
and as far as anyone knows its guna b under 300 dollars and have touch flo 3d pre installed for tmo

Hope it’s not like the POS wing.

is there a way to get this without getting their mandatory data plan add-on?

Midibite,

Did your parents have any kids that lived?

Write back once you’ve evolved beyond your current state of baboon..

Who is “we.” That HTC Leo is ugly and looks like it has the old Timex Sinclair type keyboard. LOL.

Sheesh… some of the comments and criticisms in here indicate those people should do the smart thing, sign up with another carrier, get a phone that’s free, and pass on buying the TP2.

Expecting that a phone should be free simply because you have to use a data plan, that’s unrealistic.

And so is thinking that T-Mo users won’t be getting 6.5. How did you make that assumption.

Do you really think that T-Mo, who has never charged for a firmware update, would not assure from MS that us first adopters of a very expensive device would be getting 6.5

The quickest way to kill a successful launch of TP2 is to let word get out that users will not get a free 6.5 update.

T-Mo has always taken care of people in regards to free updates and upgrades.

I dont understand why the version on the HTC site is way better looking!

Duby,

It’s all about the photographer that took the picture – The Lighting – The Angle – The camera and lens setting.

IF you want to see what a good appearance of the phone looks like go to

Mine will be the AT&T Fortress; which is also called the Tilt 2. I want it like yesterday. BUT, till then, my HTC Fuze is just fine.

Anyone wanna buy an HTC Fuze in perfect condition, with a screen protector and a hard belt clip case? Actually, I have a black case and a clear case for it.

The best phone I have seen for the year, my phone is over due for a change, it’s been with me for 3 years, and I have been with T-mobile for 8 years so far. I was waiting for something to come out, haven’t been lured by the iphone, wasn’t imporessed by the G1 nor the MyTouch 3G. But the Touch Pro2 is the one!… Went to the store, tried it, liked it, asked for one, and they were SOLD OUT. Thank God, the new shipment is coming tomorrow, and here I am counting the minutes and seconds.

Does anyone know if T-Mobile will upgrade this to Windows Mobile 6.5?

My BB 8900 got wet (camping trip) and I need a new phone. Wanted to try this before the BB Driftwood comes out for T-Mobile. Any suggestions?
