selling for :
UK£ 439 = 719.0381 U.S. dollars

i attached some pics of the sprint version that i found floating around.. so u can see some of the color changes that sprint made

i personally wish they didnt change the back cover and keys to orange and just kept it like the GSM version

.. i also think the title should be changed to July. per the road mao and more news floating around the TP2 will be released in the 3rd quarter..
which is July/August/September...

so as of now its a guess to which exact month it will be released...
Sprint is releasing the palm pre on june 6th adn the HTC snap on the 7th.. i think they are done for the month of June

Originally Posted by monkeyboy (Post 968610) no point to have front-facing cameras on CDMA phones since no CDMA service currently supports simultaneous voice+data... so "picturephone" is not possible on CDMA currently, unlike GSM... resistive is less sensitive than capacitive, but much more precise and also works in greater temperature extremes and with a stylus or gloves. so resistive has distinct advantages over capacitive. WM as it is is not well suited to capacitive.
