Re: Verizon Touch Pro 2 - Release Date -
It's T-mobile that's getting the TP2, August 12th - confirmed.
I'm not surprised the other carriers are gun shy when it comes to getting another major HTC device with all the problems the TP has had (I'm on my 6th, which currently has a dead keyboard but no Sprint stores around here have them any more, it seems like they're instructing employees to sell people who come in with problems on other phones). I've been pitched every other device in the store, blackberries, palm pre, treo pro - anything that could compare to what I have. I have just declined so far and kept my TP telling them I'm waiting on the Touch Pro 2. Really, I'll take a nice Android device about now too... |

Re: Verizon Touch Pro 2 - Release Date -
HTC devices typically launch in November (i.e. XV6800 and TP1), not December. Verizon CSR's are likely to know slightly more than corp sales reps, simply because the CSR's typically receive walk-throughs of new devices prior to launch, especially if the OP was on the phone with data device support as opposed to the lower level folks.
While I've always thought the TP2 wouldn't come out until November (part of me still isn't getting my hopes up for anything sooner), late September is completely feasible given the following: 1. Those that held onto their XV6800, are eligible for NE2 at 20 months (September), and Verizon will probably want to catch those people prior to contract expiration. 2. Apparently the TP2 is already showing in VZW inventory system. 3. TP1 price drop, and scattered availability in-store. 4. GCF certified the Ozone 109 prior to launch, and the Verizon TP2 was certified 4/30/09. 5. Verizon Rhodium ROM is supposedly in shipped status. 6. Touch Pro2 is already showing in Cellebrite. 7. It was reported that demo units were shipped to certain corp customers last week, which happened with the XV6800 about 45 days prior to launch. Again, not getting my hopes up, but it's not completely impossible. |

Re: Verizon Touch Pro 2 - Release Date -
regarding the android...I saw an interview with the CEO of Verizon where he mentioned they were working on a deal with google (regarding their phone and other things!) It was mentioned in relation to a question about the iPhone!
So I suspect we will see and android on verizon before the year is out. http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10403 Last edited by Asphyx; 08-04-2009 at 04:53 AM. |

I actually had the TP2 in my dream last night, and I really hate when that starts happening. My XV6800 still works great, but I'm ready for something new. Last edited by ckeegan; 08-04-2009 at 10:05 AM. |

Re: Verizon Touch Pro 2 - Release Date -
I seem to recall reading something on here a while back about the VZW TP..how basically HTC sold them the TP with original specs but then went back and beefed it up before offering it to Sprint and AT&T. By then, Verizon was so heavily pushing the BB Storm that they wouldn't brand the updated TP and stuck with the lower specs. Not sure how true it is but it almost makes sense, in the fact that its a completely boneheaded move and Verizon did it.
Oh and to the guy blaming Verizon for potentially not stepping up to the plate with the HTC phone problems..those are not Verizon's fault. The TP seems to have major issues on all carriers. Lets say they didn't get the TP2, would you blame them? It's looking like they will but I'm just saying that given a lot of peoples track records (3-8 phones in a year or less) it would make sense. Any time I end up at a Sprint store they try to talk people out of buying it because they know that most of the customers are going to become problematic the second things don't work out perfectly. Its a high maintenance phone and its not fit to sell in a market where everyone wants things just..easy and fast. Maybe the TP2 will be better but I could see the TP scaring off carriers.
