Yes, USA is getting the HTC Touch Pro 2, since it has already been shown off multiple times that it has been seen branded with T-Mobile. But, let's head over to my country, Canada which usually doesn't get this lucky A Telus employee took a snapshot of this photo, which shows us that the HTC Touch Pro 2 World Edition (above) and HTC Snap World Edition (below) will be hitting their shelves!! The picture you see here is Telus' inventory system, so this guy must have been pretty sneaky.
The HTC Touch Pro 2 is, I think, the more exciting handset. It has: a Qualcomm 7200A processor which runs at 528MHz (take that N97), 512MB of ROM, 288MB of RAM, a 3.6-inch resistive touchscreen with an 800 x 480 resolution, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and A2DP, WiFi, a 3.2MP camera, and a microSD card slot. Don't forget that both the Touch Pro 2 and the Snap will have dual-band GSM, since they will be World Edition handsets. The Touch Pro 2 does run on WinMo 6.1, but I'm pretty sure it will be upgradeable to 6.5 when it gets released, hence the Windows 'Start' button.
The HTC Touch Pro 2 could've been in contention for my favourite handset to date, but the resistive touchscreen and the camera are both turn-offs. On a side note, it's also running Windows Mobile, so I'll have to see how good WinMo 6.5 is before I can judge it.
Update: On July 5th new news popped up about the availability of the HTC Touch Pro 2. The Touch Pro 2 will be available on July 21st on Telus.
