Thanks for clarifying. I was about to cancel my order. Got confused for a second there.

bah, who really cares when it's released? We are already 5 years behind Japan, it's not like waiting a few more weeks/months etc really matters.

Yup, that Sprint news release is pretty much where they confirmed it to the viewing public/media/press.

*This was the first time I saw it on official public resources and NOT a leaked document.

Sept 10, 2008
" HTC Touch Pro will be available Oct. 19 for $299.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate."

Doesn't mean they cannot delay it...

Main concern for me, if it's delayed that far, is it would be immediately before the holidays...so it'd be easier for me to budget if it were prior to that time.

Well it kinda does matter when you having problems with ya mogul and don't wanna go thru another replacement to only get the same problems your phone has now. Yes a lot of ppl wants this phone because of the uber cool features but some want it just so they can type on there keyboard or not worry about white spots on there etc etc. So do you kinda see why ppl ready for this phone to drop

Its not about to be delayed for telesales. The MIR says it has to be purchased before the 1st.

If you can afford it on October 19th, then why can't you afford it December 19th?

I hear ya, but I just don't see all the point in people getting upset when phones are delayed. It's not like Sprint has some sort of oath to release phones when they originally promised... They could choose not to release the Pro at all--if they wanted to.

Maybe they will pull it, and give us the Touch Pro HD Pro (with keyboard)

because on december 19th and around that day... holiday shopping is going on so people spend a lot of their saved money. october 19th is far before christmas shopping is at it's peak... making it easier to spend money for some people
