Thx. When I saw it was the same Radio I was kinda dissapointed, that's what I really wanted updated.

Honestly, id venture to guess with certainty that phones like the storm have still sold many many more units.

The Pro is no where near a top-seller It has VERRRYY LIMMMITTEDD supplies... probably from a low-yield during manufacturing... with the problems we are seeing here, imagine what the QC department must be seeing as "bad."

I also saw his PRL was different than mine. What does that mean? (sorry for being nub)

It shouldn't matter that yours is different. I always thought it mattered for all calls, but supposedly it's only for when you're roaming. Here's what I've read recently:

Definition from Phonenews.com:

The PRL is called the Preferred Roaming List. It is a file in your phone that has a list of all roaming providers Sprint works with. When a phone cannot find a Sprint signal, it checks the PRL for the first available provider.

Keeping the PRL up-to-date is not critical. However, savvy users chose to update their PRLs because it provides for faster roaming signal acquisition, improved international roaming, and, on EV-DO devices, better acquisition of EV-DO data services. To update your PRL, contact data support, or call customer service and ask to be transferred there. Customer service is generally not informed on PRL updates, and may not be able to assist you directly.

The PRL can cause problems if a major tower update or something happens. If your device has a PRL of 60608, it won't find EVDO towers anymore. I see 700w's all the time stuck in 1x, on 60608.

agreed it must be a nightmare the ones they ARE pulling off as "bad" for the number were seeing returned. Id guess they are having some manufacturing issues that are causing short supply as they can slowly start rolling them out again. I have major doubts HTC simply isnt producing enough compared to the demand this far after its launch. HTC has never been one to have major shortages in production this far after a launch, and no other carriers are seeing this type of backlog. My best guess is they too see the issues on the sprint model and are correcting it.

I think people simply have a narrow mindset from a forum as to overall demand by the public. WM isnt a high demand platform to the general consumer in the US on its own.

As its been said, PRL really is more important if you travel but much less if you stay in your home area. you may see one small change a year if that to your home area, but if you travel it can effect what towers are picked up and for data roaming in certain areas. I always keep mine up to date just because, but its far less important than people make it out to be. It cant hurt to keep it up to date though, but dont fret if you dont have the newest file you likely wont see any change in your service

all the people who have had 3 and 4 bad TPs those were supposed to be for other customers but htc built them bad supply and demand? ehhhh

Hey snovvman, my name is BJ DeHut and I am a representative for Sprint. Thank you very much for spreading the news that the Touch Pro is available again! Happy holidays!

[chronster]

I've seen people get replacement touch pro's for pretty stupid things. Like there's a gap between the keyboard and screen? Give me a break. It's the major things that concern me, not some anal retentive OCD case who keeps sending back his phone hoping for a "perfect" one. Saying that people have had to send it back multiple times doesn't really mean anything other than people can be very anal. I'm on my first one (thankfully I got lucky i guess?) and it's got wiggle in the screen, a gap between the keyboard, and occasionally it locks up or the screen doesn't turn on, but you dont see me runnin for the sprint store.

[bboyneko]

I am really interested in buying the phone but its gone everywhere. Sprint store here in DC is sold out with no word on when more are coming in.
