Touch Pro2 May Come to T-Mobile USA
Author: +866.com28 Mar
We are loving what the rumor mill has been cranking out lately. The latest biggie may give American gadget junkies a reason to make the switch over to T-Mobile in just a couple months.
The HTC Touch Pro2, introduced to us last month at MWC, was shown off by a user at XDA Developers with a T-Mobile Branded ROM. Not sure how this person got their hands on it, but it appears genuine. This phone stacked with all the goodies is rumored for release in May.
We already knew the Pro2 was set for release in America but naturally assumed it would be found on AT&T’s network first, given that it featured some 3G frequencies normally reserved for AT&T. If released on T-Mobile first, it doesn’t necessarily mean AT&T is out of luck, but probably won’t get it for a while.
According to the source, here are some of the features we can expect from the Touch Pro2:
- 528 MHz processor
- Video Out!
- 480 x 800 resolution screen
- 512MB ROM and 288 MB RAM
- a-GPS
- 3.1MP Camera with video record
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 2.1 EDR
- Maybe a secondary VGA camera for video calls (not likely with T-Mobile)
Word also has it that Windows Mobile 6.5 will be on the Touch Pro2.
More details to come as we get them!

HTC Touch 3G With UMA In The UK?
Author: +866.com23 Mar
Coolsmartphone has tipped us on the news that the HTC Touch 3G will be hitting Orange UK, and if that wasn’t good enough, it seems that the phone will be shipping with UMA, enabling the phone to seamlessly transfer between GSM and Wi-Fi, which could amount to some serious savings for the end user. So far the only Windows Mobile device that supports UMA is the T-Mobile Shadow, which is available in the US. Will more Windows Mobile devices sport UMA in the future?

Sprint 2009 roadmap leaked: HTC Rhodium, HTC Cedar, Samsung Dash, BlackBerry Niagara and 8 others
Author: +866.com20 Mar
If this newly-leaked Sprint roadmap is legit, the second largest North American CDMA carrier will have at least 10 new handsets to offer in the upcoming months.
First of all – as expected – it’s said the Palm Pre will be introduced in the second quarter of 2009, thus in April, May or June.
Unsurprisingly, the Pre is targeted at “high-end consumers and business users who need to stay connected to their office and who will benefit from fast EV-DO rev. A data speeds and a full functional device.”
Next, Q2 2009 should also bring the following devices to Sprint:
- Samsung Dash, featuring a 320 x 480 pixels touchscreen display, 5MP camera and EV-DO Rev. A connectivity. It’s presented as the ”second generation Instinct”
- HTC Cedar – a “low cost smart device” with WM 6.1, a QWERTY keyboard and EV-DO Rev. A connectivity
- Samsung Mini, which is obviously the Instinct Mini / Instinct S30. It should come for an affordable price
- Samsung Lucello (or Cello) – messaging phone with an alphanumeric keypad and a full QWERTY keyboard
- Sanyo 2700, a low-cost messaging device with a QWERTY keyboard
- LG LX-370 – a basic slider
In the third quarter of 2009, Sprint should release the following handsets:
- Samsung Chianti – QWERTY slider presented as a “green device” and targeted at “affluent female customers”
- Samsung Ace II – obviously replacing the first Samsung Ace. It has Windows Mobile 6.1, QVGA display, QWERTY keyboard, 3MP camera, EV-DO rev. A and GSM connectivity
- BlackBerry Niagara
- Kyocera-Sanyo 3810 – simple clamshell
There’s also the HTC Rhodium on Sprint’s roadmap. This is actually the HTC Touch Pro2 with EV-DO rev. A and HSDPA connectivity. It should be out in Q4 2009. What’s weird is that the Rhodium appears as running on “Windows 7.X”, although Windows Mobile 7 will only be launched in 2010.
Anyway, since for the moment we can’t confirm that all the above-mentioned devices will be indeed launched by Sprint, we can only wait for more official details to come up.
