I wouldn't be surprised if it looked just like that (like the leaked Sprint branded pic) with the Sprint logo at the top right.

You mean the Touch Pro or the Mogul? The touch pro does have a dollar sign on there according to those pics that sauman posted.

yeah i meant to say on my Mogul. Yeah thats the Euro version of it in those picks with the Pound and Euro symbols, which will be a dollar sign. My Mogul requires 5 or 6 button pushes to get to the dollar sign.

I'm just hoping that I'll be able to pick up a Touch Pro before it gets released and sold out in retail stores. He said that he'll contact me once they've been given a go ahead to start selling it.

It has already been revealed to me by a Sprint rep. that the Sprint Touch Diamond will be released on September 2nd. There has been no official memo that the Sprint Touch Pro will be released on the same date according to the Sprint rep. I spoke with. It doesn't take away from the possiblity that the Sprint Touch Pro could be released @ the same time as the Sprint Touch Diamond, but I, myself, highly doubt it. Anticipation and hype sells phones. Other carriers have learned this from the 3G iPhone release. Please pardon me from mentioning that dastardly phone my fellow PPCGeeks.

I should know... I work in the AT&T Device Support Center in the largest store in Houston, TX and was there at it's release. I even have some shots of it that I took on July 11th w/ my Sprint Mogul.

Should be 3 steps to get the $ on the mogul.

1) Blue (control) dot.
2) Sym/Tab button (next to space bar)
3) then hit the money symbol on the screen.

My thinking for the only reasoning behind releasing both the same day would be for a carrier (such as Sprint) to be able to cater to two crowds. For the gotta-have-the-best crowd, they can say, "Hey new device, Touch Pro"... whereas when a customer is hesitant to order that, they can say "well we also have the lighter version that costs less."
