Sprint’s US-exclusive on the HTC Touch Diamond is soon coming to an end, but the No. 3 US wireless carrier has another ace up their sleeve – the HTC Touch Pro. Following on a recent announcement that the HTC Touch Pro would be slightly delayed, Sprint today announced the launch of their Sprint HTC Touch Pro.
Starting October 26, Sprint will be offering customers a chance to get their hands on one of this year’s hottest Windows Mobile smartphones. Like its all-touchscreen cousin, the HTC Touch Diamond, the HTC Touch Pro rocks a 2.8-inch full VGA touchscreen display that’s fast becoming the gold standard in the smartphone segment. Unlike the HTC Touch Diamond, the HTC Touch Pro features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard waiting to spring to action whenever you need.
The Sprint HTC Touch Pro works with Sprint’s EVDO Rev. A data network to pull down wireless data at 3G speeds. And, with WiFi, integrated GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot, and a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, the Sprint HTC Touch Pro is sure to meet even the most demanding Windows Mobile smartphone user’s expectations. Of course, as one of HTC’s flagship smartphones, the HTC Touch Pro is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional wrapped in HTC’s eye- and finger-friendly TouchFLO 3D UI.
The Sprint HTC Touch Pro will launch through select Sprint retailers on Oct. 26 for $299.99 when purchased with new contract and $25, or higher, data plan. The $300 price-point also applies to purchases on any Sprint Everything plan. All Sprint sales channels will pick up the Sprint HTC Touch Pro on November 2.
