Sprint has announced that the HTC Touch Pro 2 will be soon available on the carrier, and that it will be as expensive as T-Mobile’s Touch Pro2. The high-end superphone will make its way to the consumers starting September 8, and its goodies will be expensive to own. The phone with Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System will be available for $350 for a two year contract, and that price includes the $100 mail-in rebate.
That sticker price puts the Touch Pro2 at $50 pricier than the Touch Pro, and also, $150 more over the Palm Pre and the iPhone 3GS 16GB. The price does seem to be a bit too inflated, considering the obvious price advantages that the Pre and iPhone have over the Touch Pro, sales may not be going through the roof.
Paying all that cash will get you a phone with 3.6-inch WVGA tilting screen with touchscreen display, full QWERTY keyboard, EVDO Rev. A, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.2 MP camera, micro SD card support, and access to Sprint TV, NFL Mobile Live and NASCAR Sprint cup mobile applications.
With T-Mobile and Sprint going the high price way with the Touch Pro 2, you can expect Verizon and AT&T to tread the same path when this high-end phone becomes available on these networks.
