U.S. Cellular to get the HTC Touch Pro2

The phone doesn't go on sale until Black Friday. According to a leaked email ALL USCC phones will be FREE will mail in rebate for 4 days of the sale. The Touch Pro2 has been said to be $70 with a $70 mail in rebate.

I went to the local store today to play around with one and it's a very nice phone. A little sluggish at times but the screen looks amazing, video playback over EVDO is very quick and the Youtube app was very nice, providing full screen playback.

The included weather app actually allowed you to add your local city, a problem that they had before with the HTC Touch. Weather animations were a bit sluggish but did add a nice touch to the interface.

Keyboard was nicely laid out and should be very easy to get used to.

My wife spoke with a US Cellular rep today and the HTC Touch Pro 2 is coming out on November 20th with a contract price of 270. Not sure if if 269.99 or an even 270, but it's nice to have conformation.

If you want to see the keyboard layout why not just look at the whole manual it's very colorful!!!!

When he took the photo above, why in the world didn't he snap a photo of the keyboard layout... some investigative reporter.

Hi Everyone, I actually just spoke with a US-Cellular rep and I was looking at the HTC Touch Pro. She came to ask me if I needed any help and I figure I test some social engineering skills. I told her, "Look, I truly want to buy this phone but everyone knows the new one is coming out. And I do not know if I should buy it with the new one coming out. What would be your professional suggestion" She said, "You might want to hold off then." So I asked her, when did she truly think I can purchase the phone. She said they are currently in testing, and we should be able to buy it from them Novemember around thanksgiving time. Just an FYI!! W00t!

Today, a snotty little vixen at the local Verison store told me that they will [[[NOT]]] be stocking the Pro 2 [in stores], that it will only be available [On line]. That it was considered to be such an expensive high-end phone that it was deemed not worthy of taking up display space nor costly in-store stocking on a regular basis. ......HOWEVER, A cutie at the USCC store told me they still didn't have a firm release date on their Pro 2...but she did allow me to play with their new Blackberry that is about to be released soon... really sweet [both the lady and the phone]. It accepts a SIM card, took great looking photos inside the store in low light using the on screen auto focus / shutter icon... it seemed to have an approx. 2-3 second lag from the time you first push the button as it cycled through the auto focus then snaped the picture... but I had no gripe about how the pics looked on screen... if it reproduces on photo copy paper or on the home computer screen the same way as it appeared on the phone, no one should have any gripe. It accessed web pages in just a few seconds. The roller ball was small and a bit of a pain in using with my big fingers, and took a little getting use to. Over all, it was a sharp little phone.

its the 5th largest carrier, if u havent heard about them nate, your probably not in the midwest or eastcoast.

From the looks of it they copied the sprint TP2(the back cover design) but for some reason i like the blue instead of orange :)

they're really small. i had them a while back. i think they're over priced for what they are. you get free incoming calls from anyone & free incoming texts...yay :/
last time i went in a store of their's i thought the phones were way to expensive.

you pay at&t's rates on your plan.
over pay for a phone on 2 year contract.
