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!

Helio Ocean 2 to be launched this quarter
Author: +866.com17 Jan
Helio Ocean 2, the handset that’s been in the rumor mill since the spring of 2007, could be finally released this quarter.
You probably already know that, following the Virgin Mobile acquisition, Helio is now known as Helio by Virgin Mobile. In consequence, the Ocean 2 will come out under this brand.
Silicon Alley Insider says that, according to a Virgin Mobile rep, the new Ocean might go on sale starting February.
Like the first-generation Ocean, Helio Ocean 2 will have a QWERTY and an alphanumeric keyboard. Apart from that, it’s said that the handset also sports a QVGA display, 3G connectivity, full HTML browser and external memory slot.
No word yet about the price of Helio Ocean 2, but, hopefully, this won’t be a high one. Otherwise, I don’t think the handset will stand a chance against the likes of Palm Pre, BlackBerry Bold or T-Mobile G1.
