This afternoon I conducting some business in the same shopping plaza as a Sprint corporate retail location, since I was in the area I walked to see what their status was for the Touch Pro, the associate that greeted me was blissfully unaware of the device launch date and admitted that they had only received Sprints press release yesterday (Sep.11) Even though the rest of the known universe learned pricing and dates a day earlier. The store rep didn't recommend purchasing directly from the store as they're unlikely to have the device in-stock on the actual release date, according to him.

Either way, I'm not going fool around with the clowns in the corporate store, I want this phone like a hooker needs heroin, I'm calling telesales and having it over-nighted the moment the crate from Japan clears U.S. customs.
