With contract of course.

I think it's gonna be $400. Then after you get the $100 MIR, then only $300.

The Alltel Touch Pro will have the GPS, right? Every bit of info I've seen on it doesn't mention it. Not even the recent addition of it to the BestBuy website shows GPS. I'm sure since their Diamond has it, the Touch Pro will as well...but I just want to make sure.

For the low low price of $999.

There's two versions? One with the GPS and one without?

My understanding is that the MSM7501A has a gpsOne module embedded in the device, so the hardware should be there. There's no guarantee that Alltel went to the trouble of enabling/testing it though, just like the PPC 6800. But that just seems ridiculous.

I guess we'll find out on Thursday. Thanks for the responses!

Alltel - HTC Touch Pro Cell Phone - Granite

Model: HTC 6950 | SKU: 9138952

That's the Diamond model number. Now, seeing that on there, one could conclude that this is only a placeholder page, and that the rest of the info, including price, is incorrect.
