Verizon Touch Pro2 Spotted and Pictured

Recent photos have been unearthed at PPCGeeks, showing the Verizon Touch Pro2 in action. The date on the display shows these pictures are fairly recent (7/29). It's just another tease for those waiting for the much desired TP2 to hit store shelves, but at least the images give us a few more angles of the device.
We recently reported on Verizon's price cuts and many are hoping it's a sign that the Touch Pro2 will be released soon. However, the latest Verizon rebate sheet (dated: 8/2/09-9/7/09) does not list the Touch Pro2, so it could be unlikely that it'll be released this month. Though, it's just a rebate sheet and carriers can make changes whenever they please. Let's hope the recent Verizon fire sale is more of an omen of things to come than the rebate sheet.
We are still left feeding off rumors as far as a true release date goes, but at least we have some new pictures to salivate over.

Sprint Touch Pro 2 Specs Revelead

It looks like we have some firm specs on the Sprint Touch Pro2 thanks to Sprint Application developers. It looks like the beast will be running Windows Mobile 6.1, which should kill rumors that the release date was pushed back because it would come with Windows Mobile 6.5. Other than that, the specs are similar to those of the European Touch Pro2 that we reviewed, save for the inclusion of an EVDO radio for use on Sprint's network. Hit the jump for the full specs.
Thanks for the tip Terry Owen.

I really haven't looked into the HTC Ozone or Snap too much but I'm sure they are both good. I like the Snaps keyboard setup better but I rememberhearing that the Ozone has better voice quality.
, the G1/MyTouch/TP2 Data + Unlimited is $34.99. Not that much of a price difference
