Alltel Geting Touch Pro???

[conflipper]

Talking to customer service yesterday, and I asked if they knew for sure if alltel was going to get the Diamond or the touch pro, and the guy responded by saying he thought he had heard, they were going to be getting the Touch pro first, and then the diamond later on.

Does anyone know if any of that could be true, or if they guy just dont know what he is talking about.

He didnt have any idea on when any of it would happen, execpt that it would be after sprint.

sounds like he was taking a wild guess to me.

they usually get goodies a lil bit after everyone else, nonetheless, i think they'd probably get the diamond first.

So I just purchased the Mogul 3 days ago from Alltel and I'm barely into my 30 day Free Trial with them. After searching like a mad man last night to find out the drop date of the Touch Pro, I decided to call up Customer Service today and ask. I basically said, "Hey, I've got about 27 days left in my Free Trial, but REALLY want the Touch Pro...do you know it'll be available and will it fall inside my 30 Day Free Trial?"

At first he said he was pretty sure it would drop in a couple weeks. But after I asked a few more questions, he put me on hold for a couple minutes. After he came back he told me I had nothing to worry about, it would for sure come out within my 26 days I have left with the Free Trial. He even said it should only be "a couple weeks."

Take it as you will. Maybe we'll have it in a few weeks guys.

So W0rdie nailed the release date on the Diamond. I'm going to bet he's nailed the release date on the Touch PRO. Here's what he said:


Diamond: Oct. 30
Pro: Nov. 13

All i know is that it falls in my 30 day free trial window, so no more Mogul. Say hello to Touch Pro!
