Dang it Verizon, you suck! Hurry up and release the Omnia! No one cares about the stupid Saga.

I think I read somewhere that it may not come out until January 2009 now. Just read that earlier this evening. You never know though...I think some of the tech news you find on the internet is based in rumor and speculation.

I still dont get why verizon had HTC build them their own touch pro, it doesnt make any sense. Though itll prolly still run TF3D just fine, since it is minimum specs for it (the originally diamond had 192 ram, and ran it just fine). Not like i care though, im getting the BB Niagara or Jupiter whichever comes first lol

the pro touch is kind of xpensive. if bb storm is gonna be 199 or 299, why would you want to get anything else?! just wait and see. lets see the compared reviews are w/these fones?

The Storm will be $199 after rebate. Good old Microsoft charges for everything. I think that has something to do with the higher price of the Touch Pro. When we used to sell the Treo 700, they where side by side and the 700p was $249 and the 700WX was $299... Same phone, different OS... Window is good for alot of things but over all I think BB is better... And CHEAPER!

I agree about the price of the pro touch. too much money. i spent that on the phone i have now and it doesn't work any better than most of the less expensive devices i have had.

I would love to know which phone has a faster processor....the Blackberry Storm, the Saga or the Omnia...I heard Palm runs very slowly when browsing the web...That is the Palm OS. I know there is a Palm with Windows, but haven't heard how fast it is.

$350 for the Touch Pro? You've lost me, Verizon. Gonna go to AT&T and get a Fuze tomorrow. Probably should had gone long ago since I get discounts from my job with AT&T.

Yeah, have fun with their most unreliable network. At least the phones Verizon releases is up to par because the network is worth the money.

i know.. what is wrong with ppl...cant afford a little extra money for something you'll have 2 years!?

Idiots. It's not about what you can or cannot afford. Hardware wise, Verizon is offering an inferior product and charging more for it. It's not being cheap to refuse to purchase it, it's called being a good consumer. Why should this guy have to shell out an extra $50 for a stripped version of the phone?

No he is stupid because it will go on sale....

Call customer care and complain that the price is higher and see what they do... or go to an agent location and see if they can sell it for cheaper. Or just give up because you clearly arent willing to try to get what you want unless its handed to you.

OMG...I don't ever have a phone of any kind for two years. it isn't cheap to want a better deal. it is prudent since, in all electronic devices, better products come out way closer together than two years. I would die of boredom if I had the same phone for two years. That would be like carrying the same bag for an entire season....I like to accessories too much to wait that long to change them. I generally upgrade every year. Even at the new contract price and without the extra discount, it is worth it to keep up with the newest technology.

They all go on sale. Prices fluctuate just like the economy. Also, as soon as a newer version or a new product comes out that draws enough attention, the prices will drop and, if you bought it at the price it came out with, you end up feeling ripped off in six months.
