This has been discussed many times, CDMA EVDO CAN support simultaneous voice and data, but its up to the carriers to implement it. In our cases, the big 3 decided not to

Why would you believe this isn't coming to sprint? We've already seen the roadmap and sprint officially asked them to take it down. It said q3.

They release another phone without correcting the issues on their last. TP still has gps lag which can easily be fixed but they refuse to. They should at least pretend that they give a damn about their customers.

Either way, I know that this phone will lag and be as slow as everything else so I'll pass.

completely off topic but my GPS is working fine.

i'm with you, my gps works fine, that is the very least of my worries. I just wish my touch flo was a lil faster and more responsive.

Whit that in mind a launch in late Q3 seems to be realistic.
Have the TP2 a Worldphone is for sure the biggest request for Business users.

I'd like to point out that this site's specs are obviously wrong. I'm not sure where they got their info, but it shows mono for microphone and speakers when one of the biggest features of the device is the dual mics for better speakerphone. It shows a secondary camera (we all know that's not happening on a CDMA device, so quit dreaming). It show's and LED flash, which was removed so that a button to mute the mic in speakerphone mode could be used. It also shows a release date of October, which doesn't jive with the Q3 release schedule we've been seeing.

And the 4th of the big 4(US Cellular) is JUST NOW getting around to EV-DO. What a sad, small carrier. Too bad at&t and Verizon have bought up so many carriers that neither would be able to acquire US Cellular without major divestitures afterward.

I'm looking at the Sprint roadmap as we speak (don't think I'm allowed to post it, after Sprint got mad) and it shows the HTC Rhodium, Ace2 and BBerry Niagara releasing in Q3. Sprint Q3 ends on 9/30/09, so it may be pretty close to then for the release date imo. It's pretty close to the release path that the TP/Diamond took, which was also a Q3 release, although very few people saw them until mid-Q4 2008.
