Today the tp2 is in cellbrite to do phonebook swaps, take it as you want, just thought i would give some factual information.

Nice! I take it you work at a Sprint store?

if it was coming out on the 25 we would know by now. its not even coming out this summer... sprint will not release the pro2 until the demand for the pre calms down. its about money people. just look at tmobile. We wont hear anything on the phone(officially) until there's some kind of official announcement about another popular phone from a competitor i.e. verizon and the storm 2. the iphone wasnt a threat because of the pre so we have to wait until something popular is announced elsewhere before sprint tries to steal some of the thunder away from verizon.

I was wondering...the TP2 can do CDMA/GSM right...so can it use both the Sprint and Nextel network? or is that asking too much?

Nextel uses the IDEN network, not GSM.

And the Sprint TP2 will be locked from use on US GSM carriers.. it's GSM capabilities only have value if you take it to Europe and use it on GSM carriers over there.

(All of the info provided comes from various press releases and I cannot verify it's validity. Everything about the TP2 is a rumor as of now.

I totally disagree... The notion that the TP would steal thunder from the Pre is ridiculous... Sprint doesn't really care what phone their subscribers use, because the majority of their profit comes in the monthly contract, not in the phone sale. As such, they have no motivation to withhold a new phone because it "might" hurt sales of another phone. It's not like the TP2 is going to magically prevent someone who wants to move from Verizon to sprint for the Pre from doing that... Ultimately, waiting to release a phone makes it more likely that they'll LOSE customers, because I'll GUARANTEE there are some folks who leave sprint for T-mobile when they get sick of waiting for the TP2.

That's great news! If the reps know about it, its GOTTA be coming soon. They always seem to be in the dark.

+1 to Telus for getting this first!
