We knew it was coming since everyone else will also sell this handset but we didn’t know the date. Now we do! The HTC Touch Pro2 will be available in Sprint stores starting with September 8. And we have the price for it too. If you’re willing to spend $349.99 and get yourself a new 2-year Sprint contract you’ll be able to take home a brand new Windows Mobile phone from HTC. And when you get your budget in order for the big event make sure you think about that extra $100 you’ll have to pay since, as always, there’s a $100 mail-in rebate. So what do you say? Have you decided which carrier to approach for the HTC Touch Pro2?

Those on Verizon anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Palm Pre may not have much longer to wait. What you see above is a leaked screenshot taken of Verizon’s inventory database. As you can see, the item description displays PALM P101 SMTPHNE, could this possibly be the Palm Pre? It would make sense considering Sprint’s Palm Pre codename is the P100.
Additionally, screenshots were also found display phones such as the PALM 121 (Eos?), BlackBerry Storm 2, HTC TouchPro2 and Samsung Omnia II.

It’s no secret anymore that Sprint is going to launch the HTC Hero at some point in the future. And we also know that the hot Android phone is going to be available for purchase in Best Buy stores once it becomes official.
What we didn’t know is that Best Buy is apparently getting ready to offer the phone for pre-order. According to Best Buy’s internal system the Hero will be available for pre-sale starting with September 13. Nothing is official yet but if the image here is to be believed, we might see the HTC Hero in Sprint stores by the end of September.

Earlier today various screenshots of the UI found within HTC’s Mega hit the webs. Now, live shots of the phone have too been leaked thanks to ai.rs. As you can see, the phone looks exactly like what it did in the renders we saw earlier this month.
The Mega is said to feature q Qualcomm 528Mhz processor, a 2.8-inch QVGA touch screen, WCDMA/HSDPA/quad-band GSM, a 3.2MP camera, microSD slot, WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.0.
Now we’ll just need to wait until an official announcement is made about a carrier for the HTC Mega.

We have more leaked stuff for you and this time we’re looking at HTC Mega screenshots. The Mega will be a mid-ranged Windows Mobile phone and while the phone hasn’t been officially launched yet we can already take a look at HTC’s vision of Windows Mobile 6.5. And since we have seen earlier Samsung’s WinMo 6.5 approach for the Omnia II, which version will you rather own? What would you choose between a Samsung and an HTC Windows Mobile 6.5 phone?

As far as the avid followers of the HTC Hero is concerned, rarely would anyone expect that it would come out in pink. Presumptions were that the red color would come out but surprise, surprise, a soft pink version of the HTC Hero came out at MoDaco.
Color preference seems to be a no-brainer but we have seen the HTC Hero come out in standard colors such as white which is available worldwide and the darker colored versions released by T-Mobile. The pink version is reportedly an exclusive over at Mobiles.co.uk so for mobile phone addicts (particularly the females) that is the only place where you may possibly get it.

Until Verizon will be able to launch the HTC Whitestone, the phone has to wait for the FCC to give its thumbs up. The Whitestone will most probably prove to be a Touch Diamond2 version sporting a 3.6-inch WVGA display, a 5-megapixel camera, CDMA and EV-DO connectivity and a lot more. You can read the FCC filing by following the link below, but wouldn’t you rather wait for Verizon to finally announce this hot HTC phone? Or have you already purchased your HTC Touch Diamond2 version?

The HTC Hero is a beautiful device, that’s no secret, and one of the major contributing factors to its beauty is the Sense UI for Android. However, while the device and software was very pleasing to the eyes, users complained of a rather sluggish experience while using the Sense UI.
Luckily, Paul O’Brien over at MoDaCo has gotten his hands on a upcoming Hero software update that will address this exact problem. As you can see in the above video, the Sense UI is a lot more responsive than it was prior to this update which is sure to please just about every HTC Hero owner out there.
There isn’t an exact date for when the update is going to be rolled out but our sources tell us to expect it in the coming weeks.

Included above is a video demonstration of HTC’s unreleased TouchFlo 3D 2.6 Windows Mobile UI that is destined for a debut on the HTC Leo.
As you can see, the UI bares a slight resemblance to HTC’s Sense Android UI found on devices such as the HTC Hero in the sense that it’s beautiful, practical and fine to use with your fingers. Those worrying about your TouchFlo 3D touting devices not being able to support this new UI need not worry as the update is to be mostly aesthetic.

Here’s an announcement that is sure to piss off T-Mobile G1 owners everywhere — It was recently made known that the internal flash memory of the T-Mobile G1 is not big enough to support Android updates past version 1.5 (aka Cupcake).
However, G1 owners won’t be left in the dark as their OS will get continued support through tweaks and security fixes. However, a full OS update would be impossible considering the device’s internal memory is stock full, as I mentioned above.
Quite the bummer, don’t you agree?

HTC has recently announced that they will be porting their highly sought after Sense UI to their Magic handset this October. Unfortunately, those with the American version of the Magic (T-Mobile myTouch 3G) will not be getting the same love due to the “with Google” branding on the back.
The reason for this is that T-Mobile reportedly signed an agreement with Google regarding Android’s licensing that made it unlawful for them to adopt the Sense UI. Bummer.

Previously, we’ve shown you leaked pictures of the HTC Whitestone however, at that time we didn’t have any solid confirmation (besides a few rumors) of a carrier. Today, however, more leaked renders of the phone have been revealed with it sporting Verizon’s branding.
The specs are right on par with what we told you before, a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, 5MP camera, 3.6-inch display and Windows Mobile 6.1.
As for a solid release date, we have none, so we are instead forced to play the waiting game.

HTC’s CEO Peter Chou has recently stepped forward to let us know that his company has officially sold over 1 million HTC Magics to date. If you’re scratching your head looking at the above device associated with the name Magic, it’s because branded it’s called the T-Mobile myTouch 3G in the United States.
Furthermore, Chou went on to say that HTC will focus their efforts on releasing more mid-range sub $300 smart phones onto the market for the rest of 2009. In fact, he hopes to have 50-60% of all of HTC’s handset shipments fall into the mid-range category.

We recently spotted an AT&T version of the Touch Pro 2 today, but we also found out that the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 has been priced, as revealed by a leaked pricing chart. Consumers will have the option to purchase the phone for $349.99 with a lengthy two-year contract, or alternatively go with another mobile service provider for a $549.99.

What you see above is the first ever live shot of an AT&T branded HTC Touch Pro2. We already knew that it would be hitting T-Mobile and Verizon but had no official word of an AT&T version, luckily said picture has given us proof.
There’s no word as to when this device will actually hit AT&T but our sources tell us that it could potentially be called the AT&T Tilt 2 once it is released for the carrier. We’ll keep you posted as more news regarding this device emerges.

Remember that Sprint leaked document we showed you yesterday? Well it looks like someone from AT&T decided to match Sprint’s leaking process and has therefore revealed some interesting handsets which are in the pre-launch phase. Among those we couldn’t help but notice the BlackBerry 9700, the HTC Tilt 2 and the Tilt 2 without a camera, that elusive Garmin Nuvifone G60, the HTC Pure aka Snap and plenty of others. Samsung phones, Pantech and Nokia phones are also coming soon, so if you’re rooting for AT&T then sit nicely and wait. Some amazing phones are heading your way.

We already knew that Sprint is going to launch the HTC Touch Pro2 but we didn’t have any specific dates. According to this leaked document, Sprint should release the Touch Pro2 on September 3. Sprint has not confirmed any of this yet but we can probably assume the phone will be available at some point next month in Sprint stores. After all, everyone else is getting ready to launch their Touch Pro2 version, right?

A new HTC phone will be launched by AT&T at some point in the future. The HTC Fiesta has been discovered earlier this year in that leaked HTC roadmap and confirmed later by that Bluetooth SIG. Now we found out what’s the carrier that’s going to launch it. Although we have no idea when AT&T is going to announce the Fiesta, you should be thrilled that AT&T is finally bringing Android phones to its customers. Anyone ready to start leaking pictures and specs of the Fiesta?

Last time we talked about T-Mobile’s upcoming HTC Touch Pro2 we had no idea how much the phone will cost. And T-Mobile is still not saying anything about price tags. But with a few days to go until the phone will find its way into stores, new images of the handset and a few pricing details have leaked to the public. It looks like the HTC Touch Pro2 will be available for $299 with a new 2-year plan while those of you not interested in new contracts will have to pay $599 for the phone.
What do you say? Are you going to get your HTC Touch Pro2 next week from T-Mobile or you’re ready to wait until everyone else launches their version?
