Currently on VZW 6800, will i be happy going to Touch Pro or should I wait until Touch Pro 2 comes out? Reports saying late Q2 release by HTC, no idea on when Verizon picking it up after that.

From what I saw last week, the late Q2 release by HTC is not in the states, but rather in Europe and Asia. I don't think we will see one for a US carrier until mid to late fourth quarter, at best.

Its announced that the TouchPro2 will have a 'broad release' which includes north american, but I don't think there hasn been any confirmation that the CDMA carriers will pick it up. I haven't heard much news regarding that front.

How about this, wait for the touch pro 2, buy my touch pro from me, and I will buy the touch pro 2 for myself

i doubt vzn will pick it up any time this year. if they do pick it up this year it will probably be last Q and that would be something if they did pick up a phone that quickly.

Agreed, It takes VZN forever to come out with HTC devices, hince no Diamond

As someone else on this forum put it quite aptly, VZW needs the extra time to figure out how to cripple the phone.

It takes HTC time to Fu*k a phone up for Verizon

If they follow the recent trend, VZN is always the last to get the Windows phones made by HTC. The Palm Treo 700w that launched years ago was the only windows phone I remember them getting first.
