Goodbye Instinct, Hello Touch Pro

17/02/2009

HTC Touch ProAs of 2/11/09 I am now the proud new owner of the HTC Touch Pro. Only catch…I am still waiting for it. I bought a used one off of Ebay. Got the bugger for $325. Pretty nice, since I plan on selling my Samsung Instinct for around $200.

So, sooner or later (depending on the speed of the U.S.P.S I will be posting my initial review of the Pro, and what software I am installing and such.

For those that can’t wait, you can head over to All Touch Pro and PPCGeeks to check out my options.

Individual application upgrades for the MR4 period are expected to go live the week of 11/21, with Sprint Mobile Email Work Calendar scheduled for early December (all dates are estimates and are subject to change with no notice). Exact go-live dates depend on application vendor.
