It looks as if July is shaping up to be a pretty good month for TELUS subscribers — how does three hot new handsets in one week sound? One of our ninjas just hit us to let us know the carrier will apparently be launching both the BlackBerry Tour and the HTC Snap on July 15th followed less than a week later by the HTC Touch Pro2 on the 21st. So far the only pricing we have is for the Tour and the Snap, which will go for $249.99 and $29.99 respectively on 3-year contracts. As for the Pro2, unfortunately pricing has yet to be entered into the TELUS system. We’re doing our damnedest to get more details but in the meantime you’ve got some decision making to do, TELUS subscribers.

We’re hearing $249.99 for the Touch Pro2.

It hurts my heart knowing Canada will be getting the Touch Pro 2 before the US.

Lucky Canucks.

Ahh Yeahh.

That's 2 years in a row that we get the much anticipated HTC before you Yanks! I was one of the first in North America to get the (CDMA) Diamond, as Telus got the Diamond first. (and I had one on reserve in my T.O. corporate store!)....its not just maple syrup up here

...but as always, the Euros really take the cake on the awesome WinMo Device front....

I'm really hoping that it's not over $600 though. T'would stink a large one.

$249.99 contract price for a pro 2 is pretty damn good (if true) I guess, but I am more curious as far as what the regular price will be(I am with sprint). But then again if I am not mistaking when telus came out with the touch pro it was $199 contract price but that was for 3years and not the typical 2 years you would see here in the states, so $249 may not be that good of a deal.

Seeing how the tp2 is not really that big of an upgrade(let some folks on this forum tell it lol) I would think the price of the tp2 pricing will be like the tp pricing when it 1st came out. That makes sense to me so I'm guessing 549.99 for outright which is fine by my but I'm not paying more than 650 plus tax for a tp2. Cause I'm buying mines outright price

Actually I am probably going to buy one outright myself and its primarily for the larger screen and thats it. So I am guessing 599.99 but my gut is telling me it will be $600+ which I will find very hard to justify purchasing at such a high price but I probably buy one anyway. Damn I can remember the days when I could wait a few months to a year before I get someting else but now its like I have to get the next best thing no matter what.

EDIT: LOL nice avatar by the way, I didn't notice it at first.

Yea I'm fully prepared to pay 600+ for it got the money ready to buy it,32gb card when it comes out,htc leather case,money to cancel tmobile contract if they don't let me out it so I'm good

and I've always tried to get the latest greatest when it drops if its better than what I got now and IMO the tp2 will be better than tp for me(keyword before someone pops up showing me how the y the same I know this ) so I gotta have it.
*SideNote!* thanks lol I play halo3 and cod a lot...my fileshare is full of my Krayz kills on halo3 I have a ton

kinda rusty but wouldn't take long to get the "spree" back up

Like I mentioned in a previous post a month or two ago, I won't complain too much about the price. Sprint has gone above and beyond when it came to taking care of me and my two lines. They took care of me when I had my two 6700's, two 6800's and my touchpro and diamond so for once I can comfortably say that I will return the favor and just pay full price for the touch pro 2. Even though I am on my 4th touch pro I am not going to try to get something for nothing like alot of other people on here will probably try to do but I guess thats ok depending on the situation.

P.S. I play quite a bit of halo3 as well as cod4 but recently I have been so busy traveling for my job

I thought that was the price for the Tour?
