Good news for Bell customers: the carrier has managed to get the HTC Touch Pro before Telus and already sells it for $239.95 CAD (about $195) with a 3-year contract. If you think that's too long, don't worry, Telus isn't better when it comes to contract terms.

Fortunately for most of us, such rules exist only in Canada.

Telus Mobility has finally released the CDMA HTC Touch Pro for its customers in Canada. All willing can get it for $299.99 on a 3-year agreement (why not for the lifetime?), or you can pay $549.99, $599.99 or $649.99 on a 2-, 1-year plans and outright, respectively.

Who's getting one?

Boy Genius has managed to get a hold of the leaked “Need to know guide” for the Verizon’s version of the HTC Touch Pro. Now we know that the handset will feature a Qualcomm 7500A CPU running at 528MHz, 512MB ROM and 192MB of RAM.

AT&T's HTC Fuze (Touch Pro in fact) is now available for purchase online. It's going for $300 after rebate and a 2-year contract, and can easily compete with such giants like iPhone and BlackBerry Bold. What would you pick?

The subject says it all. This will probably make a serious boost in the manufacturer's sales, as it enters a new market, and the phone itself isn't bad either. Some of the features include Windows Mobile 6.1, Wi-Fi, GPS and UMTS/HSDPA support.

Last doubts dissapeared - the HTC Touch Pro will sono be released on Verizon. The handset will feature 512MB of ROM, TV-out, a 3.2Mpix camera and microSD card slot. The most probable release date is November 14th.

Great news for Sprint subscribers: the company has launched the HTC Touch Pro smartphone. It will be released on Monday at select national retailers, and starting November 2nd it will be available in all regular Sprint channels, and online.
The price for the HTC Touch Pro is US$299.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and a $25 per month monthly plan.

BGR has posted several new promo shots of the HTC Touch Pro, which should have been released on Sprint 5 days ago. Drool on these while you're waiting for the device itself to come out.

All those who are waiting for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro can spend some quality time reading the new user manual for the upcoming phone. One can download it here.
It looks like this version of the handset will be lacking FM radio, but will retain the traditional QWERTY keyboard.

Sprint has delayed the launch of its HTC Touch Pro until the end of October or early November.

Initially, the touchscreen smartphone was scheduled to be released this Sunday.

The exact cause of the delay wasn't announced.
