While everyone else was pointing to September 3rd as the launch date for Sprint's version of the Touch Pro2, our tipster gave us a September 8th date for the release, and we passed that on to you more than 2 weeks ago. Now that the date is officially set, we can discuss pricing. After a $100 mail-in-rebate, the Touch Pro2 will cost you $349.99 which means that you'll be laying out close to four and a half Benjamins. But think about what you're getting in return. a luscious 3.6 inch tilting WVGA touchscreen, physical QWERTY keyboard, 3.2MP camera with AF, and TouchFLO 3D.
After the 8th, we will have Verizon and AT&T remaining among the four major U.S. carriers that are expected to release a version of this model. Big Red's inventory system just showed the device, as we reported to you. Another source tipped us to the AT&T version earlier this month. Definitive launch dates and pricing for the two remaining carriers are unknown for now.
