Re: HTC Touch Pro Release Date!
Just got this over at Sprintusers.com
"I'm a Sprint employee and we just had an All Hands meeting were they announced the Pro was being delayed until Nov 2. I'm not for sure when telesales will get it. But I believe you will be able to order via telesales on the 29th and in stores on the 2nd. I'm in IT and not the sales side. Sorry I don't have more info."

From all the info I have read... I looks like the release for online sales will be either oct the 16th or 19th... then the release at the stores is gonna be like the diamond... delayed...just not sure how long... Its like the other day when the sales rep who was the store advocate for the Diamond went to the back and let me start up and mess around with a new Diamond... but they are due to be released later on this week at the store....BUT...If I wanted to go online... I could have had one already in my hands via overnight mail... go figure y'all...

Just snagged this from Sprintusers.com:
Might be at BB on Sunday... bunch of speculation over there...

From what I read at PPC Sprint's version is expected at Best Buy this Sunday. Best way to find out is call BB on Friday and ask. Their shipments for Sunday come in on Thursday. I'll be at my local Best Buy Sunday no matter what. BB Mobile usually doesn't know much in the way of release dates for phones. They just sell whatever gets thrown in front of them.
Hell, they'd probably sell my kid if I put it on the counter.

This phone is amazing... it is better than I imagined! Super qwik... super sharp screen... lighter than my brick phone and it connects to everything know to man... Which I need to stop!!! ... calls are clear... I just have NOOOOOO experience with the Windows OS, so its taking me forever to learn anything... I still cannot get the weather to work...... and I love the chrome... makes it look sick... came with a 1G microsd card too... and weird adapter... that I have no idea what to do with....... oh yeah and the camera is just sick!!! Takes way better pics than my digital camera...
Review as I use it in a new Thread later....

OMG... the lady who was at the 1st BB I went to posted this about me today on sprintusers.com:
I GOT MY PRO!! Houston, TX. Actually Spring. Bought the last two that Best Buy had! A guy came in after me and wasn't so pleased - but the site said all the surrounding BB's had em, so I told him that!
I got em for the 299 + the 20% off.
So far - I'm loving it. I have absolutely NO complaints. Ran into a sprint store to see if they could sync my contacts from the rumor to it - guy didnt have the machine and was shocked that I had the phone. Asked me if he could look at it and all cuz he didnt believe me!! Said sprints system said it was there, but quantity said 0. I told him best buy has em!!!

Picked mine up at Best Buy too. I upgraded from a Treo 755P. It'll be in the black market soon.
Loving every feature of it. Can't believe I've been with Palm as long as I have.
