Sorry for all of you who are waiting for this phone. But, the rumors are true, the HTC Touch Pro launch will be delayed. Back at CTIA Fall 2008, Sprint announced that it would offer the HTC Touch Pro smartphone with an expected ship date of October 19. Seeing that the date is drawing close, lots of people were checking Sprint to see details on the launch. Unfortunately, the Touch Pro will not be available on the 19, but now we’re looking to see the Windows Mobile 6.1 device around the end of October/early November.

Here is the statement from Sprint:

“Sprint expects to slightly delay launch of the Touch Pro by HTC to ensure we have adequate inventory in all channels before making the device commercially available. Customers can expect the device to become available in select national retailers by the end of the month and then in all Sprint sales channels including online at www.sprint.com and Sprint Stores by early November.”
