The HTC Touch Pro2 and the HTC Snap are among the first smartphones out there that will be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5. We have been aware of all this for a few months but it’s only now that we are able to confirm it. Both phones are upgradeable, at least in theory, to Windows Mobile 6.5. However, depending on where you purchased your Touch Pro2 or Snap phone from, you might not be able to use the upgrade yet. Minor things like carrier branding or phone locking could prevent you from getting the much needed upgrade right now. If that happens then go ahead and complain to customer service about it. You should definitely be able to enjoy Windows Mobile 6.5 no matter what carrier sold you the Touch Pro2 or the Snap. After all, that’s why you purchased these phones in the first place, right?

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.

But since we do know is that the Ozone is basically the HTC Snap we don’t actually need any other specs, do we? What do you think folks?

Sprint is not thinking only Pre thoughts, is it? The carrier is said to launch the HTC Touch Pro2 or the Rhodium sometime in June. According to leaked information the Touch Pro2 will be available in mid-June so Windows Mobile lovers will be able to finally get a phone capable of running version 6.5 of Microsoft’s Mobile OS. Should we also assume that Microsoft will have the Marketplace ready by that time too?

And since we’re talking HTC, the Snap will be available in July. Now you can really make up your mind. What would you choose between the Pre or the Touch Pro2?

That’s right you lucky Canadians, you heard me right, Telus is indeed going to launch to hot HTC phones soon. The HTC Snap and the Touch Pro2 received the World Edition moniker which must mean that both phones will be able to offer you EV-DO Rev. A and dual-band GSM capabilities. There’s nothing official about the two new HTC phones yet but the word on the street is that both handsets are present in Telus’ inventory. Which one would you choose? The BlackBerry-like HTC Snap or the Windows Mobile 6.5 ready HTC Touch Pro2?

Sprint will not only launch the Pre this year. Other phone worth mentioning are also going to be available from this carrier. One such example is the HTC Snap. It looks like Sprint will baptize it the HTC Snap S511 and it will launch it this summer. There’s no official release date available just yet but it’s being said that Sprint is testing the device already. We’ll have to wait for an official version and maybe for some prices too before we all get too excited for this QWERTY HTC phone.
