Over the past week, two highly anticipated Windows Mobile devices were released in North America. We have the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 and the Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2. Both HTC phones finally include a 3.5mm headphone port, unlike previous HTC phones. The specs for each phone is almost identical this time around, but the major difference is in pricing. The Verizon TP2, released September 11, is $199.99 and Sprint’s TP2, released September 8, is $349.99 after rebates and renewals for both. Why the price difference? Most likely specific calling/data plans differ in more ways than one. Check out videos of the Verizon TP2 unboxing by CallMeMarc and a review of the Sprint TP2 by MobileTechReview below this post. There’s also a nice unboxing of the Verizon TP2 by Wirefly. You can see the full overview of the Sprint and Verizon versions from HTC.

Here is a quick review of the HTC Touch Pro2 Mobile Spoon style. ( expect expect reference to Autobots and Marvel Comics )

Two North American carriers will be launching their Touch Pro 2 with Windows Mobile 6.1, not 6.5. WMExperts claims Sprint and Verizon Wireless will be releasing their devices with WM6.1, but will be upgradeable soon after with WM6.5. At least they will both feature the 3.5mm earphone jack, right?

The Verizon Rhodium’s GPS will be fully unlocked, unlike their previous high end WM devices. Another thing noted is US Cellular will be launching with WM6.5. That should make them the first carrier to launch a Touch Pro 2 with the latest mobile OS. AT&T might have something to say about that, but only the future will tell the full story.

If you use a Touch Pro2 you must have at some point of time considered how to increase the number of Conference Calling you can have. By default only 2 are allowed, but thaks to this hack from PocketNow you can increase it. The number depends on what your carrier supports. For US T-Mobile users the limit is 6 according to pocketnow.

How to apply the hack :

• Open your favorite Registry Editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE
• Then open the key named: “MaxConferenceSize”
• The default is ‘2′ , increase it to ‘6′
• Reboot

PocketNow has done a hardware tour of the T-Mobile Touch Pro2.

Engadget is reporting that the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 will cost $349.99 on a two-year plan. What do you this of this Pricing ? We are sure the price will down down quite a bit when the other major carriers release their own version ( Sprint and Verizon version of the HTC Touch Pro2 will have the 3.5mm audion jack which is missing in the T-Mobile version )

The guys @ Engadget did a video review of the T-Mobile Touch Pro2. One notable missing feature is the 3.5mm audio jack.
