hahhaha for sure im in the computers right now andhave been looking around at why the date keeps changing and found sometihng interesting.... i found and am talking through messenger (built into the sprint site) with a couple other corporate end people and they are all saying that the online date for orders online os going to be the 19th for the mere fact that they dont ;.want the T-Mobile version to drop first even if that means that they will have limited supply :> i will keep you updated if i find out anything different.

Hehehe - Daddy's gettin up Early tomorrow!

- I kind of wondered how that was going to work if Sprint announced (Way Back) as being the "First" to release the HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro and then let T-Mobile beat em on the Pro. I would even concider going with T-Mobile if they released it before Sprint.

[Fatal_Error]

[Fatal_Error]

But like all women when she see's the touch pro she will prolly want it. I gotta do what I gotta do to keep the wife lol gotta buy her love with my ugly self

[mikewhooo]

no touch pro the lotus,rant and highnote are on there

[Balastrea]

Noooooooooooooo - just called and they are telling me it should be available in my area in the next day or so.

[iTouch24]

what a surprise , called telesales ... they called warehouse and they gave me date of november 2nd

[mikewhooo]

telesales just told me nov 2nd for sure lol it was oct 19th for sure wow

[Balastrea]

Funny thing - Ive been told both the 19th and Nov 2nd - not sure they REALY know when it's going to be released. They told me this morning that it may be in a day or so but could not give me a date. Arrrghhh

[ORK1NM4N]

Well I just got done Chatting with "Patrice K" On the online sales webchat thing and she said "NOV. 2nd" Is the new expected release date....But also said its subjected to change...Could be LATER/ or EARLIER I was like WTF SPRINT You can suck my balls!!!!!!! ****in hate this messed up my sleep in time!

[BiG JeW]

As I said before. Don't be surprised if NOV. 2 comes round and there is NO TOUCH PRO!

[chavalo_nm1]

That sucks. I checked this morning online and nothing.....no touch pro......You think I could just order a diamond and trade it later for a Touch Pro when it comes out?

[BiG JeW]

anything is possible.... i wouldnt give up!

[D/\SH]

looks like november 2nd is the date in my computers at work..... i knew this was going to happen especially since the diamond was right on time.... sprint cant be on time twice in a row.

[mikewhooo]

i know thats right they added notes to my account that when it comes out that i can return the diamond for the pro with no problems. But we will see how that works out i have had the diamond since it was released

the real reason it got delayed was to fix some of the problems that were present with the gsm troubles including camer lag troubles, overheating, etc.

naw basically what is done is that we flash one than place back in the box nicely with new packaging and than packaged back in the box and called good.......... just caught a few hours of sleeps and actually at the airport right now to fly over to grand rapids again and do my tv interview with the news this afternoon :> but anyways ended yesterday with a total of 1,271 phones flashed..... even got sick of go through usb cables that i taught the other 20 guys and gals how to flash from a card lmao.

hahhahaha just to fix errors and it sucks.... im used to being the one doing nothing at work and testing the devices not flashing them lmao..

[iTouch24]

have u tested one after the flash... what are your thoughs on it now ... your initial review was pretty good to start... hopefully we wont need allot of tweaks right out of the box on it

i know it vibrates when u connect a call... thats an option but does it when u hangup a call for notifcation ... or is there a sound... i like to make sure i hung up before i start talking about them .... haha

it makes a chime just like the diamond does. and as well as stability seems like they have had a lot of progress in the right direction compared to the way that the diamond was released on the market.... sprint still has a cow of a rom on the phone though :<

[Balastrea]

"a cow of ROM" is a good thing right? Kinda like "a butt load" right? The 2nd cant come Sooooooon Enough!!

*Edit - Crap sorry I read that wrong. You said "A cow of a ROM" - that not good :-(

hahahaha naw not good at all just like the diamond was and ask jew here the diamond had a chunker for the stock and once you go custom you finally realize how much shit they add to bogg these down :<

[Balastrea]

Well once I get mine - your gonna hook me up with a "Gazelle of a ROM" right? Nobody wants a Cow lol

[D/\SH]

dont have much time to build roms anymore but chefs will be releasing very soon after release of the phone :>

[Balastrea]

Well I trust that I will be able to find a D/\sh or Wckediden approved Touch Pro ROM here sometime after the long awaited release. Also I hope that I will be able to learn lots of tips and tricks from all you pro's here.

[skorpio24]

I had an encounter with a Touch Pro today. It was the demo non working model at a local best buy store.A guy in the blue shirt pulled it out of a basket he had with a lot of demos that were up coming in. Pretty nice for sure. It had been well finger printed I am sure I got sloppy seconds on it.

[iTouch24]

its amazing that best buy is suppose to get for sale on the 26th or 27th and telesales not till the week after ... haha .... that must of cost BB a pretty penny

D/\SH i thought your tricked out touch pro videos would hold me over till the device was finally released.. GIVING ME SOME IDEAS ON WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MINE ... i havent seen any new videos on youtube for the pro .... u have any up your sleeve ... i see a few sprint pro videos but no customized tricked out ones from u .... i have till nov 2nd .. help me outtt u can even label them as diamonds ... if u cant put touch pro... just looking at the screen anyway ... what works on the diamond should be the same with the pro right

from what the threads are saying .. the only physical store that should have the phone by the 2nd is best buy .. telesales and retentions and evp should be able to take orders on nov 1st , 2nd ... and sprint stores .. radio shack etc to follow after ....

[Balastrea]

Just read over on phonescoop that sprint has announced the release of the TP for Sunday and availe in sprint stores by Nov 2nd. Thats just crazy! Do I want to wait a week? Not really but will BB be more expensive or will they offer it for a decent price? Plus how is BB to work with as far as unit problems Vrs. Sprint stores or telesales? I guess what I am asking is who is goint to be the better place to purchase the TP from? :mebiro_01:
