HTC Touch Pro2 calls dibs on 35mm audio jack for Telus and Verizon

[Metalmayhem]

That was quick. We heard that HTC was moving to standardize around 3.5mm audio jacks but we weren't necessarily expecting the meaty Touch Pro2 to be on that list of devices. After all, it's already shipping in its GSM version. Nevertheless, MobileSyrup has an unreleased CDMA version of Touch Pro2 for Telus (and ultimately, Verizon) that goes straight-up 3.5mm -- not goofy ExtUSB jack converter required. Oh, and they've got video to prove it. See it after the break.

Wow, Thats nice hope Sprint's version gets this too.(To bad for the flash...really going to miss it)

I was expecting them to at least put it on the top of the phone in case you get a "good" case that faces your phone upwards so the headphone wire don't get tangled up. Never the less, I am glad that they finally switched it to 3.5mm anyways.

true, that was my main beef about the adapter since you couldnt even really use a case with that honker of an adapter connected haha
