You all know the awesomeness that was the HTC Touch HD, and now it will get even better. According to some sources, the sequel to the said handset will be Android-based, and will feature a more powerful 628MHz Qualcomm chip which is just perfect for running resource-hungry Sense UI and HD video on the 3.8" 480 x 800 display. Hopefully this is all true.

In case you didn't know, Verizon Wireless is now offering the HTC Touch Pro2 for $199.99 on contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. Any takers, or do you prefer something higher-end and running Android?

Specs include:

• Windows Mobile 6.1;
• 3.6" WVGA tilting touchscreen;
• 3.2Mpix camera;
• 3.5mm headphone jack;
• Bluetooth 2.

Sprint has officially launched the HTC Touch Pro2. You can order one now by logging on the company's online store to place your order. The phone will cost you $349.99 after rebate and discount on a new 2-year contract.

It's official: the HTC Touch Pro 2 will be available to Sprint customers on September 8th for $349.99 on a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.

SprintUsers has recently posted some off-screen photos showing release dates and pricing for some low-eng handsets scheduled to be released soon on Sprint. Let's get to the most interesting part, shall we?  The long-awaited HTC Touch Pro2 is in the list and ready to be launched on September 8 at an unsubsidized, rebate-free price of $599.99.

There's also a link to a PDF file, the internal "Quick Reference Brief" for the Touch Pro2, part of which includes a comparison chart where the Touch Pro2 meets face to face with the yet unreleased AT&T's LG Monaco and HTC Warhawk, as well as Verizon's Omnia II.

According to EngadgetMobile, the AT&T has cancelled the upcoming release of the HTC Lancaster, which was supposed to become the company's first Android-powered handset. Instead, AT&T subscribers will be getting two great WinMo 6.5. devices - the HTC Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 (aka the Warhawk/Fortress), which are actually said to become available in October on AT&T.

The T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 has been released and is now available online and in stores at a price of $349.99 on a 2-year contract. Just to remind you, its key specifications include a 3.6″ touchscreen, sliding QWERTY keyboard, 3.2Mpix camera, WiFi and GPS support.

It's definitely not an official launch confirmation, but an official Sprint portal for the outfit's NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile application currently lists the HTC Rhodium as a "compatible phone" supporting full audio and video content. In case you didn't know, "Rhodium" is basically the same "Touch Pro2." But don't get excited just yet, just wait for the phone's official announcement.

Verizon subscribers can now get almost any smartphone offered by VZW (except Samsung Saga) for just $99 on a 2-year contract. That includes both HTC's Touch Pro and Touch Diamond. What does it mean? That Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2 are on their way, I guess.
