Back on October 17, we reported that Sprint’s Touch Pro would be delayed, and wouldn’t be available on October 19, like Sprint originally promised. However, they have announced that their HTC Touch Pro would be available coming October 26. On October 26, the Touch Pro would only be available in “select national retailers,” but on November 2, it will be widely available from Sprint’s online store and all national retailers.
Sprint plans to sell the Touch Pro for $299 on a 2 year contract with a variation of their Simply Everything Plan. Otherwise you will have to get their $25 data package supplementing your existing data plan.
If we keep in mind the $299 is after a $100 Mail-in-Rebate, the phone is pretty expensive. It will be interesting to see how the Touch Pro fares with the consumers against the newly releasedT-Mobile’s G1. Buying a Touch Pro? Think it is the worst phone ever? Let us know in the comments.
